Southwest Montana Experiencing More Grizzly Bear Conflicts

According to Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, grizzly bear encounters have increased in Southwest Montana in recent years. View FWP’s press release here:

FWP News: Grizzly Bear Encounters in SW Montana Increase from Recent YearsDownload

While this is alarming, the Big Hole watershed historically has had low numbers of grizzly bears, although each year, sightings are reported. BHWC believes in being prepared in order to prevent wildlife conflicts when possible. That’s why we offer free livestock carcass removal to Big Hole Valley ranchers. We also provide bear-resistant garbage cans to residents, free-of-charge and while supplies last.

Contact us for more information:

To arrange for carcass removal, call John Costa: 209-628-2225.

For information about bear-resistant garbage cans, contact Tana Nulph: 406-267-3421.
