GREAT FALLS – The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks are looking for information about the shooting death of a grizzly bear.
The carcass was found by hunters on the Boone and Crockett Ranch, which is private property near Dupuyer in Teton County
Officials said in a press release the carcass was retrieved on Sept. 4, and investigators believe the grizzly bear was shot from West Gypsy Basin Road sometime during the spring of 2018.

Callers do not have to identify themselves and a reward of up to $2000 may be available for information leading to a conviction.
