Posted: 8:27 AM- RED LODGE, Mont. - The state wildlife agency says a grizzly bear captured near Red Lodge will be sent to the Bear Center at Washington State University.
The bear got into trouble south of Red Lodge late last year. It was relocated to the upper Boulder River drainage and was captured again Monday, about 20 miles away near a subdivision of summer homes.
Game wardens say the bear came out of its den about two weeks ago, then walked down the drainage, raiding garbage cans, bird and squirrel feeders and damaging cabins.
Over the weekend, Fish, Wildlife and Parks personnel tried without success to get the 2-year-old, 250-pound male bear to stay away from residences in the canyon.
