Search for Bear that Mauled Wisconsin Woman Ends

BARRON COUNTY, WISCONSIN, JUL 28 – After two weeks of trapping and monitoring, officials failed to locate the bear involved in the attack but will continue surveillance to ensure public safety, the DNR said.

  • On July 28, 2025, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources concluded its two-week trap effort, releasing two boar bears, two yearlings, and two sows unrelated to the attack.
  • Following the assault, the DNR, Barron County Sheriff's Office and USDA Wildlife Services deployed live-traps and game cameras on her property.
  • The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources ended its two-week effort to trap the bear involved in the Barron County attack, with efforts called off and the area still monitored, Randy Johnson said.
  • Despite ending the operation, Randy Johnson, DNR large carnivore specialist, said their options are exhausted after two weeks of surveillance.
  • During the search, officers found a cub in a tree, indicating a sow and cub involvement, and the DNR notes that about 1.6 bears may exhibit behaviors perceived as aggressive around cubs.
