CHOTEAU, Mont. -- The black bear that feasted in the kitchen of David Letterman's Choteau-area ranch house -- even swilling a bottle of whiskey -- returned once too often.
The 300-pound male bear was trapped on Letterman's front porch during its third visit, said Mike Madel, a grizzly management specialist with the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks.
Wildlife biologists released the bear after capturing it Sunday in the Flathead National Forest just south of Glacier National Park. That's about 50 miles from Letterman's ranch, across some of the most rugged country in Montana, Madel said.

Letterman awakened the morning of Sept. 20 to find the bear in his kitchen, ransacking his refrigerator and cupboards and helping itself to peaches, chocolate cake, beef jerky and other delectables.
