fiaige astudyvas started in tocnapieau district in 1997 todetermlne the range and roobiuty of the black bear although the study suu continues and it is too early to publish conclusions a number of interesting incidents have occurred a bear waa livetrapped in lloyd township on july 7 1967 and later the same day rejeajwd 40 miles away in gallagher township almost a year later the same bear was shoton juojs 17 1968 in connection with another study on parasitology at almost the same spot inlioyd township last year fred johnson wildlife management officer live- trapped 10 black bears and released them several miles from where they were trapped how do you trap a live bear well first of all if youre uke fred johnson you fashion your own trap the trap had better be a strong one too because these are powerful animals fred built hlstrtps by installing a springloaded trap door in a piece of culvert pipe the bait is placed in the cut- vert pipe the bear walks in to get at it and thats it provided everything holds fast a small trap door in the side of the culvert permits fred to give the bear a generous dose of tranquilliser thus tranqullllsed the bear is removed from the pipe and tagged fred then can watch his recovery from a respectable distance another bear trapped and released in this same manner was taken by a hunter 16 miles from where it was released but about eight miles from where it was trapped the bear that found its way back 40 miles to exactly the same spot is the holder of some kind of record we feel sure of thatl his navigational system was outstanding as was his contribution to science unfortunately his involvement in the second study meant the supreme sacrifice station upsets league leading dominion squad in thriller station hotel shoved two runs
