PRIEST LAKE – On the morning of June 8, a nonresident hunter shot and killed a male grizzly bear he mistook for a black bear. The bear was killed in Idaho's Panhandle, north of Upper Priest Lake. After shooting the bear and identifying it as a grizzly, the hunter contacted Idaho Fish and Game and is cooperating with the ongoing investigation. The incident serves as an important reminder that grizzly bears can be found in game management units in the Panhandle and in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, and grizzlies are known to occasionally visit portions of the Clearwater Region.
