Personnel with the Wy-
oming Game and Fish have
confirmed the presence of a
grizzly bear in residential
areas just north of Cody.
Game and Fish has not pre-
viously documented grizzly
bears in this area and land-
owners in the vicinity are
urged to remain aware and
report sightings or bear ac-
tivity to the Cody Game
and Fish office. Game and
Fish staff is actively inves-
tigating the situation and
is taking action to resolve
conflicts.
Large Carnivore Biolo-
gist Luke Ellsbury respond-
ed to a call Sunday morn-
ing reporting that a bear
had gotten into garbage at
a residence five miles north
of Cody. "Tracks at the lo-
cation confirmed a grizzly
bear had been in the area,"
Ellsbury said. "Yesterday
morning Game and Fish re-
ceived and verified several
additional reports of a bear
getting into garbage at resi-
dences near the Cottonwood
bear activity
Creek drainage."
"People should be aware
that a grizzly bear may be
present in residential areas
along the Cottonwood Creek
drainage north of Cody and
take appropriate precau-
tions," Ellsbury said. "For
the time being, we are ask-
ing property owners to se-
cure attractants such as gar-
bage and livestock feed to
reduce the likelihood of the
bear being drawn to a specif-
ic area. Game and Fish rec-
ommends that those in the
area travel in groups, carry
bear spray and make noise
to alert a bear of your pres-
ence." Property owners and
residents are asked to report
instances of bear activity to
the Cody Game and Fish of-
fice at 307-527-7125. "As
always, we thank the pub-
lic for their support and ap-
preciate their cooperation
during our investigations
while we try to resolve any
potential issues between
bears and humans," Ells-
bury said.
