Bear  Aversion

Bear situations are an all too familiar problem in the remote work-place and while worker education and good bear avoidance practises are key to preventing problems, a protocol to educate and discourage persistent problem bears has been developed with good results. Using deterrent devices such as bean bag rounds, rubber bullets, air horns, bear bangers and pepper sprays plus the use of a well trained Bear Dog(s) coupled with good procedures will train bears to avoid sites and workers.

The dogs are Louisiana Catahoula Dogs, they respond appropriately to bears without injuring the bear, are trained to remove the bear from the area and not have prolonged chases past perimeters, plus are excellent around personal, these are quiet dogs with manners, but are trained to harass but not harm bears.

There is no longer a need to euthanize bears nor relocate them, which often means a returning bear or a bear that may perish being dropped off in strange territories with dominant resident bears. Industry can operate responsibly in bear country with good worker training and good bear aversion strategies.

Wildlife Solutions

 I have come to realize that Industrial activities, mostly Oil and Gas developments, may be operating in areas where wildlife could be in possible conflict. As a person who is keenly interested in Wildlife and also supports responsible Industrial development, I can offer solutions, assessments and evaluations of potential Wildlife conflicts that may arise when Projects are undertaken.

I strongly maintain that education and pro-active measures are priority one to prevent situations, and responsible measured responses to conflicts can allow Wildlife to be unharmed while Projects can proceed with minimum disturbance.

This is my goal and mission statement in my operation, which I fully believe in.
