Alaskan Study on Grizzly Bears
« on: April 04, 2017, 01:01:13 PM »
I thought this was pretty interesting.

To come up with a more accurate estimate, Brockman and his colleagues decided to try something new: outfitting the bears with camera collars and GPS trackers. Similar to security cameras, the collars filmed 10-second clips every 5 to 15 minutes for more than a month, from mid-May to late June. “We were focusing on the period of time when the [moose and caribou] calves are most vulnerable to predation,” Brockman says. He and his team collared 17 bears in total from 2011–13.

Maybe they could combine a shock collar in there then when they chase caribou or moose they could shock them. Surprised PETA hasn't filed a lawsuit saying it was against the grizzly bears rights!!
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

 I can't seem to find it but there was a collared bear study done around Yellowstone and they figured out that the grizzlies there were a heck of a lot closer to hunters in the woods than they had determined before. The studies seemed to show the grizzlies shadowing them at times.

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.
