Idaho Grizzly Bear Found Dead - Reward Offered For Information
 

Coeur d'Alene, ID: A $5000 reward is being offered for information leading the arrest of the person or persons involved in the illegal killing of a grizzly bear near Priest River, Idaho.

The remains of a poached grizzly bear were found this week by employees of the Idaho Department of Lands while working up the middle fork of East River just north of the town of Priest River.   

Grizzly bears are classified as a "threatened" species and are protected by both state and federal laws.   Yet, the illegal killing of grizzlies accounts for over 90% of known mortalities within the Selkirk Mountains, and remains a major hurdle to recovery for the bears.

Anyone with information concerning this poaching, may claim the reward and still remain anonymous. If you would like to report information on this particular case, or any grizzly bear poaching, please call the Idaho Department of Fish and Game at:   (208) 267-4085 or (208) 448-2302.
