BOZEMAN, Mont. (AP) - A Billings man accidentally shot and killed a 300-pound grizzly bear while hunting for black bear in the Gallatin National Forest.

Wildlife officials say 54-year-old Curtis Settergren mistook the male grizzly for a black bear while hunting in the Taylor Fork drainage south of Big Sky on Saturday. He reported the incident to the state Department of Fish, Wildlife & Parks on Monday.

Settergren was charged with possessing or taking a grizzly bear unlawfully. His hunting and trapping privileges may be suspended for three years.
