Trapping and Collaring Grizzly Bears
Using local roadkill, the FWP team strings the stinky meat in a bear trap in the Gravelly Mountain area in southwestern Montana to attract grizzlies to estimate bear populations. Join FWP bear specialist Jeremiah Smith and Kyle Orozco as they demonstrate the work and knowledge behind setting traps, along with the reasons behind this practice. A huge thank you to our partners, including the Interagency Grizzly Bear Study, for their efforts on the ongoing research and management of these species.
