Fatal Grizzly Bear Attack in Ovando

On the morning of July 6, the Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks’ Wildlife Human Attack Response Team responded to a fatal bear attack in Ovando.

The incident happened early Tuesday morning.

FWP biologists, conflict specialists and game wardens are on the scene and searching for the bear.

A video camera from a local business caught footage of a grizzly bear Monday night, and a bear also got into a chicken coop.

Grizzly bears are common in the Blackfoot Valley where Ovando is located.

More details on the incident will be released as they are available.
