FWS Wants Info
On Colored Bears
The U. S. Fish and Wildlife
Service has placed colored
marks on many of the bears
on Kodiak Island to learn
more of their movements and
habits.
They plan to continue the
marking program this year
but have requested the assis
tance of sportsmen and resi
dents to assist them in the
actual marking program but
.have asked that if anyone sees
a bear with a mark of any
color to please make note of
the date, time, place seen, sex,
j age (young or old) and especi
j ally the color.
i The information should then
1 be sent to the Fish and Wild
life Service, Kodiak, Alaska,
j The bears are marked by
tripping a wire and.setting
off a charge that sprays them
with paint or by the U3e of a
crossbow in the hands of a
U.S. FWS official.
As an example, bears in the*
Karluk area will be marked
with one color, a bear in the
Uyak area another. After a
period of time if the bears
move from one region to a
nother the FWS will learn of
it.
