Default Black Bear Baiting Info & Grizzly Bear Tutorial & Quiz

Hey everybody,

Alberta's Provincial Carnivore Specialist, Nathan Webb, has asked me to post this information here regarding black bear baiting and grizzly bears. If you are a black bear hunter, please read the following:

The following link contains some general information on black bear baiting, as well as maps of WMUs with only some portions open to baiting. Previously, hunters had to go to their local Fish & Wildlife office to determine where these boundaries were: http://www.mywildalberta.com/Hunting/GameSpecies/BlackBearBaiting.aspx

This link contains information on how to distinguish black bears from grizzly bears, including a tutorial and a quiz (the links to these components are on the left-hand side of the page). Grizzly bears can occasionally be found throughout black bear range, and nearly every year there are cases of hunters mistakenly shooting grizzly bears: http://www.srd.alberta.ca/RecreationPublicUse/AlbertaBearSmart/KnowYourBears/Default.aspx
