Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are seeking information on the shooting death of a boar grizzly bear found by recreationists in the Stillwater River downstream of the Farm to Market Road Bridge, west of Whitefish.
Officials retrieved the carcass from the river on Sunday May 28. Investigators believe that the grizzly bear carcass was dumped from the Farm to Market Road Bridge into the Stillwater River sometime between May 25 and May 28.
The Service and FWP are asking for anyone with information on this case, or anyone who may have seen anything suspicious in the area of the Farm to Market Road Bridge between May 25-28, to call the Service Special Agent at (406) 329-3000 or 1-800-TIP-MONT. Callers do not have to identify themselves and a reward of up to $2,000 may be available for information leading to a conviction.
