BACK TO TOP . . A 600 pound grizzly which was involved in a number of Yaak Valley predations has been killed, according to federal officers. The bear was captured at a residence where it had previously killed a goat and pulled down a hanging deer carcass. The bear had also been foraging in garbage cans, raiding freezers and even walking onto people's porches in the area as well. As such, there was much concern about the safety of area residents.
Officials note, however, that the bear's aggressive behavior was unusual.
