Reward for Bear Poacher in Newbury | Montpelier News

A lactating mother bear was found shot and dumped in the Connecticut River near Newbury — a brutal act that’s sparking outrage and a $1,000 reward for tips leading to an arrest and conviction. Game wardens suspect the crime happened near the Newbury Crossing fishing access, and both the Vermont Game Warden Association and the Vermont Bear Hound Association are urging anyone with information — no matter how small — to come forward. Report anonymously through Operation Game Thief at 1-800-752-5378. This isn’t just poaching — it’s a devastating violation of wildlife and the law.
