Grizzly Baiting Operations

As part of ongoing monitoring of the grizzly bear population, Wyoming wildlife officials are going to be baiting traps in the Bridger Teton National Forest. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department will start operations with traps set between July 6 and 25 in two spots near Moran Junction - the Blackrock-Spread Creek areas. The second operation will be in the Fox Park area of the Teton Wilderness between July 26 and Aug. 12.
Wildlife officials say warning signs will be posted in the affected areas. The monitoring is part of federal efforts to rebuild the grizzly's population. The animals are trapped, tranquilized, processed and released.
