Bear studies and turkey season are in our sights on Kentucky Afield television this weekend, Feb. 27 and 28.
Follow Kentucky Afield television to Letcher County, where snowy mountainsides set the backdrop for black bear research. Biologists with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, with assistance from University of Kentucky researchers, climb into the bears winter dens to count cubs and place radio-tracking collars on hibernating mother bears. Research on bears - one of the forests most secretive animals - helps us to better understand growth and travel patterns of these mammals.
