Government trapper Romey McCollum and rancher Hillary Gollehon tracked and killed a 540 pound grizzly after it attacked stock over years in Ear Mountain district. The bear, eight feet eight inches long with a chewed left ear, was shot near the Hillary Gollehon ranch as it charged during a chase with dogs and horsemen. A cub was sighted nearby suggesting a female may be in the area.
