$21,200 Reward After Killing of Grizzly Found in East Idaho
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (AP) — The reward for information leading to the person or persons who illegally killed a federally protected grizzly bear and dumped it in eastern Idaho after removing some of its front claws is up to $21,200.
The Idaho Department of Fish and Game in a statement Monday says forensic evidence indicates the young male grizzly found June 4 was killed elsewhere and had only been dead a few days. Officials say the bear was dumped on Idaho state land in Island Park near East Dry Creek off the Yale-Kilgore Road.
Officials are releasing few other details. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is offering $5,000 and Citizens Against Poaching $1,200 toward the reward. Another $15,000 is being offered by non-governmental organizations.
