After two more days of dedicated bear-trapping attempts, Brie was successfully able to lure all of the remaining yearlings into live traps by Wednesday afternoon! The bears were moved to Large Mammal Isolation in preparation for release.
A biologist came this morning to load the two bears; the team weighed and tagged them for release:
Bear #19-0057 [Double Green Tags]. Final weight: 19.9 kg.
Bear #19-0097 [No Tags]. Final weight: 15.5 kg.
