dead bears & counting

1) Bears can count. 2) In May, an NHL hockey player, Vancouver Canucks forward David Booth ((left wing - Detroit, Michigan)) "unleashed the fury" and paid big bucks to hunt bear using a baiting technique, i.e. sit quietly in a tree platform and wait for a bear and other bears may come and go for the bait, but only a certain big, male bear is shot.

on bears counting: one fish, two fish,
red fish, blue fish
Then again, last year more bears were killed in Alberta by wildlife officials--145 bears killed in oilsands--because they're habituated to humans. So, would this baiting habituate bears to humans.

Anyways, between that or whatever--like oil camp garbage--searching, searching. oh wait: 仍然搜索 eblogger ... Twin River Outfitting (Your Host:  Blair Inscho) has a kill rate of over 100 % (?). Blair recommends that "you pass on anything under 6 ft,, as there will be better!"

A delicious-4bears-bait is a mixture of old oatmeal, molasses and beaver guts.

And: Vast amounts of this area have never been baited!! yadayada.. clover, dandelion.. yada... Our hunts take place in a number of areas including ; logged off areas, pipelines, wallows, salt licks, cut lines, natural meadows, fields and other intriguing sites.

And they also do wolves. See article: Wildtv.ca on Shaw. Bear baiting is illegal in British Columbia, Canada and 18 states in the USA.

3) There aren't a lot of ways for a grizzly bear to die. Bear 71. A 2012 interactive National Film Board of Canada (NFB) web documentary won a Cyber Lion Award at the 59th Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, which took place June 17-23 in Cannes. The wikipedia article lists more installations.

4)  Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Deveopment (AESRD): southwest 2011 DNA samples and grizzly bear reports.
