North Idaho black bear study in its second year
When Matt Nelson completes his black bear study next year he hopes to have collared 36 bears from south central Idaho to the Panhandle’s St. Joe River Valley in an effort to learn where the state’s version of ursus americanus likes to hang out, and whether game cameras can be used to make solid population estimates.
