Biologists are preparing to begin a round of grizzly bear capturing and monitoring operations in southwest Montana. Researchers are asking people to stay out of posted areas as trapping gets underway later this month.
The work is part of long-term monitoring required under the Endangered Species Act.
The Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team says they will conduct capture operations on private lands in the Madison Range. That includes areas south of Highway 84, west of Highway 191, and north of Highway 287.
