Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

This investigation, titled the Aldrich Creek Grizzly Take case, took place in the state of Wyoming.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
