Movements of GB 788 - Wind River Range

The southernmost areas of the Wind River Range are now classified and considered territory of the Greater Yellowstone Grizzly Bear. Typically, with grizzlies, outlying territory is usually occupied and first inhabited by dispersing subadult males; Wind River is a leading example.

Grizzly bear 788 is one of many subadult males to inhabit the Wind River Range area. Grizzly 788 was first captured on August 13, 2014 at Bull Lake Creek on the Wind River Indian Reservation. At the time of capture, 788 was collared, allowing movements to be tracked. 788 was the first capture and GPS collar deployment in the Wind River Mountain area within Wind River Indian Reservation.
