Fish and Wildlife investigators are asking for tips after two grizzly bears were found shot in the span of a week near Grande Prairie. 'Particularly rare'The latest shot grizzly was found about 60 kilometres south of where a young one-year-old female grizzly bear was found dead on Saturday afternoon. The female was lying under a road barricade sign at kilometre 42.5 of Weyerhaeuser Road. "It's particularly rare to have two grizzly bears shot in such a short time span and so close together geographically," Cox said. Grizzlies were listed as a threatened species under the Alberta Wildlife Act in Alberta in 2010 when it was determined there were only about 700 left.
