CASPER, Wyo. — The Wyoming Game and Fish Department has captured and relocated a yearling black bear found wandering in a residential area of Casper.
Janet Milek of the Game and Fish Department says game managers used a tranquilizer gun to dart the bear and immobilize it in a backyard Thursday.
The bear apparently followed a creek from nearby Casper Mountain down into the city.
Milek tells KTWO radio in Casper that the bear was relocated to a remote area about 20 miles south of the city.
