2 more grizzlies captured after Yellowstone attack
BILLINGS, Mont. -- A Yellowstone National Park spokesman says two more grizzly bears have been captured as part of an investigation into last month's mauling death of a Michigan man.
Park spokesman Al Nash said Wednesday that the adult male bears were captured Sunday in the Hayden Valley area, where 59-year-old John Wallace of Chassell, Mich., was killed on Aug. 25 while hiking alone in the park's backcountry.
Nash says hair samples were taken from the animals for DNA testing. The bears were fitted with radio collars for tracking and released.
Park officials have said they will kill the bear that mauled Wallace if they can confirm its role through DNA analysis. Another bear captured last week also was released after being radio collared.
Officials: First wolf killed in Montana archery hunt
BOZEMAN, Mont. -- Montana wildlife officials say the first wolf has been taken in this winter's hunt.
Fish, Wildlife and Parks spokesman Ron Aasheim tells the Bozeman Daily Chronicle an archer killed the male wolf in Stillwater County on Sunday.
This season, hunters are allowed to kill 220 wolves, compared with 75 in the first hunt in 2009. No hunt was held last winter.
This year's hunt is taking place after wolves in Montana and Idaho were removed from federal protection by Congress.
Aasheim says 8,110 hunting licenses had been sold through Tuesday, just over half the number sold by the end of the 2009 season.
The archery season opened Saturday. The early backcountry season for hunting wolves with rifles begins Sept. 15 and the general season begins Oct. 22.
