Montana wildlife officials shot and killed a grizzly bear early Friday morning that was believed to have dragged a woman from her tent in Montana earlier this week and killed her.
The bear was killed less than two miles from Ovando, a Montana town of fewer than 100 people and the place the woman was killed Tuesday morning.
“Last night, the Powell County Sheriff’s Office took a report from a resident who came home and found her door ripped off and large claw marks were present,” the sheriff’s office said on Facebook Friday. “A short time later a male grizzly bear was killed in the area.”
The bear was killed after being caught raiding a chicken coop in an attack similar to one that occurred the night the woman was killed.
Given the proximity to Tuesday’s attack and the evidence found at the scene, Montana Fish, Wildlife &Parks officials believe the bear killed was the same one that attacked the woman, who was staying in a tent outside of an Ovando museum the night she was killed. However, officials said confirming DNA analysis will take a few days.

Not to mention .600 Nitro Express isn’t exactly cheap.
Only if you're interested in the subject, pumpkin.
As long as the bear gives you time to put on a motorcycle helmet and set up a bench rest, it’s perfect.
Helmet wasn’t necessary and a single well placed shot would do it.
Humans like to kid themselves that they’re at the top of the food chain but this incident confirms that that isn’t necessarily the case in much of the US ... and this goes for both Ovando, Mt. and Chicago, Il. ... unless you are armed.
It's documented somewhere here.
Can't remember his name.
