"...Ever
since I put up the electric fence, I have had no more bear
attacks..."
Dear
UDAP,
I am a physical scientist at Denali National Park and Preserve. I am
in charge of the soundscape program, which involves maintaining remote
sound recording stations throughout the park. Many locations in
Denali are frequented by bears, mostly grizzly bears. These bears
are curious and my stations look interesting to them, especially the fuzzy
windscreens I use on the microphones.
One particular station has been attacked numerous times over the last two
years. The
station is located near the famous Sable Pass Closure, which is a popular
wildlife viewing area along the park road. This station
had been attacked six times in the last two summers. Most of the
time the microphones are knocked down and I just have to put
them back up. Sometimes wires are cut, which are easily repairable.
This summer the bears have exposed my microphones and caused some
expensive damage. As a result I decided to protect the station using
a UDAP Bear Shock electric fence. I have to hike into some of the
sound station locations so I needed a lightweight bear deterrent.
The UDAP Bear Shock electric fence is only 3.5 pounds so it is perfect for
use at my hike in stations. Ever since I put up the electric fence I
have had no more bear attacks. The fence must be working to keep the
grizzlies from causing any more damage. I'll be using
a UDAP Bear Shock electric fence at each of the locations that is
frequented by bears. Check
out some photos of my sound station
near the Sable Closure.
