Fish and Wildlife Officer John Clarke tranquilized and relocated a bear over the weekend. This bear had been getting too comfortable in and around Blairmore and had been seen over a two week period from York Creek all the way to east Blairmore. Clarke says they originally tried to trap the bear but were unsuccessful. Clarke says the bear reappeared over the weekend in east Blairmore by the ski hill. Clarke followed the bear through east Blairmore and was aided by local RCMP in setting perimeters for tranquilizing the bear. The bear was tranquilized near the tracks by the Blairmore Gazebo. The bear was then put in a trap and relocated the following day.
