Hair Collection: 2012
Determining Corral Distribution:
1. Areas with bears
2. Low human density
3. Contiguous habitat
4. 2-3 corrals per female home-range

Population Estimation: Genetic Mark Re-Capture
Unique genetic ID replaces physical mark
1. Obtain DNA from multiple ‘sampling’ sessions
2. Genotype individuals
3. Encounter History = ‘Captures’ and ‘Re-captures’
