The Last Few Days

Hi All,

This week was spent mostly on Moose Wilson Rd with black bears & moose.

This is the truck, specially modified to hold a bear trap, that our boss Kate and a park biologist drove nearly 2,000 miles to deliver our two bears to Sioux Falls, SD.

Back in Moose, we spent over four hours keeping the traffic moving on the narrow, winding road, as visitors could not resist stopping to check out this beautiful bull moose.

On two occasions, Carl was called to a second moose feeding where people could, and did, get too close.

Yesterday we had two black bears down in the pond below this overlook. At one point Carl counted 48 visitors.

This morning we were dispatched to  collect the carcass of a road killed coyote. It is unpleasant but part of our job. As consolation, the smoke had blown out and the mountains were glorious. 

Love,

Sandy & Carl
