A grizzly bear was euthanized last week after a series of conflicts with chicken coops and other attractants near homes in the Silver Butte area south of Libby. Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks wildlife specialists received reports of the bear breaking into chicken coops, greenhouses, and storage sheds on residential properties near Barren Peak Road off U.S. Highway 2. There were also reports of the bear going onto porches of homes.
