Problem Wildlife!

This past week we learned how to deal with problem wildlife, everything from elk & deer eating rancher's hay stacks to bears & wolves eating their livestock to cougars & bears attacking humans.


Remember this picture? Who do you think is going to have to deal with this little (big) problem?

The Kokanee Ranger? Or maybe your asking yourself "WWZD?"


Here kitty kitty! This was a 2 year old female cougar that we used for our human attack scenario. In case your wondering, she was snared and euthanized by one of the Hinton F & W Officers.


This is mine & Chuck's 'pail-set' that we set up for capturing a grizzly bear. We spent a day in the bush setting traps and snares for cougars, bears (both grizzly & blacks) and wolves. Last weekend my partner in Pincher Creek captured a 600 pound grizzly!
