We recently received a call from our patent attorney stating that our patent request has been researched and found to be original. We will soon have an approved patent on the Automated Bear Trap!
The Automated Bear Trap was used this summer in Western Montana by MT FWP. The trap captured five management bears this year.
The Automated Bear Trap is currently bring retrofitted with a new state of the art wireless system provided by Verizon Wireless. This new system will greatly improve the bear traps wireless capabilities. Thanks to a grant by the Foundation we are able to maintain the bear trap through the 2011-12 season.
