In the last twenty years, black bear hunters have mistakenly killed six grizzlies just in Park County, Wyoming.
When a grizzly was shot and killed on the North Fork of the Shoshone Forest on May 1, this year, Cody wildlife photographer Amy Gerber saw the carcass about thirty yards off the highway that same day. She said she spoke to regional and national news outlets about it. She didn’t know why someone would shoot the 530-pound bear.
