Course Outline
The purpose of this workshop is to teach the provincial bear aware training but add to it and spend more field time to look at risks and solutions to keeping safe in large predator areas.
Trappers by the work they do are often the “High Risk” group regarding large predators. They work with bait, scent and even beavers, (the bears favorite food).
Overview:
-
Based on the Provincial Bear Awareness program with extra field knowledge actually out in the bush
-
Beavers are a bear's favourite food and trappers often use beavers for bait. Things can go wrong quickly!
-
Bears visit bait stations in the Fall. We will train you and demonstrate safe ways to enter a bait station
-
The course is excellent training for anyone traveling in the outdoors or camping.
-
We will be in the field using bear spray and learning how to be effective with it.
-
As often trappers use “bait stations” we will look at and demonstrate safe ways to enter a bait station.
