Virginia Tech graduate students David Mcnitt and Robert Alonso are conducting the Carnivore study in Virginia’s Bath and Rockingham Counties. The bear trap pictured here is an important part of this project. The trapping phase and radio collaring of black bears, coyotes and bobcats is well underway. Bear GPS collars are expected to provide data through December 2019. The GPS collars have been attached to 22 bears, 17 coyotes and 21 bobcats.
