I hope
@UtahDNR
takes accountability for the poor safety planning on behalf of this bear. There was no reason not to set up a safer landing to break the fall. This was very disappointing to witness.

The @UtahDWR tranquilized the bear, and as crews were getting in position with the bucket truck, and ladder it fell out of the tree.

@Alean4 @Derek_Photog @UtahDWR The bear was alive when it left the site. They did a poor job of setting this up. They did not do a good job of protecting this bear. There was plenty of time to set something up to break the bear's fall before they tranquilized him and started driving him out of the tree.
