The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is encouraging the public to report Black
Bear Den locations to help with an ongoing study on Black Bear reproduction.
The research team is accepting any den reports but is specifically looking for dens in
bare management zones C, E, and F, which covers central and southern Wisconsin.
The Black Bear Litter and Diet Survey will generate new estimates of Black Bear reproductive
rates within each of the state's bare management zones and the estimates will improve the
accuracy of the population models in each zone.
The project was started in 2021 and is now going into its fifth year.
The purpose of the project is to place GPS callers on sows or female bears and track
them over the years.
The data will let researchers understand litter frequency and cub survival rates.
DNR Research Scientists Aaron Morrison says public assistance is essential to increasing
their sample size.
Morrison adds that if someone reports a den that includes a sow, they are invited to come
out to the survey.
We're very appreciative of the public and their involvement in this project.
It wouldn't be a success without them and so we like to be able to invite them out on
those surveys as a way to kind of show them a part of the research that they're involved
in.
Morrison says that individuals reporting dens should keep track of the GPS coordinates, take
photos of the den and give a description of the site in surrounding area and make note
of any bear activity.

The NFL made a decision and we have to find a way to try to stop the play and it's a tough
play to stop.
