for Neptune while running errands, got an EM on my phone which was shocking to ES and I - a young man that we had worked with in the past (just a few years ago) here at our summer camp and then he worked as a professional in our scout Council - died a year ago - 25 years old! He was also a student of mine when I was the director at Hawk Mt. in PA - spent a wonderful week teaching and guiding him - he was so enthusiastic! he was young, vibrant, full of life person - loved the out doors, especially the water - he was extremely skilled with canoes/ sailing / kayaking - whatever the case may be - and he had untold patience and was a great teacher to the many scouts including many of ours he is missed - RIP Cory the Council and OA are raising funds to buy a rescue boat for use at our camp and the name of the boat will be "cowboy sailor" when he left our Council, he went back to RI where he was originally from so we lost touch the past couple of years ......:( |

Update August 7, 2010 - 8:35 PM CDT The History of Killing Bears ![]() June bear - undated photo No big news this time. Everything seems copacetic (that can't be a real word!). Lily and Hope are together. The bears are streaming GPS data into the computer. We're working on videos and other material for the classroom outreach project. We watched in amazement as you widened the lead of Bear Head Lake State Park to nearly 87,000 votes. We hope June will move into the park early in the hunting season as she did two falls ago. We hope Lily will also take refuge in the park. The $100,000 won't directly benefit the study bears, but it's nice to see support for this gem of a park within the study area. We have seen some of your well thought out suggestions for protecting the study bears during hunting season starting September 1, but we are not sure what is necessary. We're working with hunting groups to seek hunter cooperation, and the DNR will be asking hunters not to shoot radio-collared bears. We soon will be posting signs asking hunter cooperation. We have seen your requests for a statement about hunting. The following is a start on that. The History of Killing Bears Education has changed attitudes and how bears are killed Summary: In the 1800's and early 1900's, people used poison, traps, and guns to eliminate black bears. Knowledge and attitudes have slowly improved. Discussions now center on how to coexist with bears rather than on how to get rid of them. Hunting leaders are beginning to discuss how bear hunting practices can be improved. Read More Details Here The North American Bear Center is dedicated to advancing the long-term survival of bear populations through education. Education is the key to coexistence. People will not coexist with animals they fear. Thank you for all you are doing. ~Lynn Rogers and Sue Mansfield, Biologists, Wildlife Research Institute and North American Bear Center |
