this is good for the bear as far as survival, but you would have to move him every year then…?
Lucky bear!
Not if he gets to close to campers and to hikers, remember they just killed a sow that had been there for years for doing this. Face it, bears are not safe anywhere, and a white one is not long for this world in the west. A hunter will kill it for sure to stuff……
The problem with moving a black bear to Glacier is that Glacier is all ready full of black bears. This bear will either force another black bear out of its’ territory or be forced to move itself. It is kind of like killing one bear to save another. Glacier should have said no. Feel good projects like this can start a cascade of unwanted events.
Good for Larry Thorngren!
If anyplace can be “stuffed” with black bears, it’s Glacier. The bear habitat is second to none in the U.S.
A krafty political move by GNP considering recent bear disasters.
