Last month, a state biologist said it was too early to say whether the recovery zone grizzly deaths were alarming or even a trend.

Grizzlies are protected as a threatened species across the Lower 48 states.

Two bears were hit by a train and three were hit on a nearby highway.

The same bear was previously trapped on June 30 at the site of cattle depredation in the same area.

Wildlife officials say three bears have also died in automobile collisions, two of them in Montana.

Grand Teton National Park requires elk hunters to carry bear spray when they're in the park each fall.

Hunters defensively killed a record 15 grizzlies in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem in 2017.

Mangelsen says it's tempting to want to help the bears but not a good idea.
