That wire collects hair from the bear. The hair can be tested and the DNA can be used to identify the bears and see where the they live and where they travel to.

@lucaspylipow You are an idiot. *Don't, *fucking, those were your first mistakes. Not only that but this doesn't kill the bear you moron. IT COLLECTS HAIR. And why shouldn't you kill it? Do you know what happens if people don't hunt? Animals become over populated and starve to death, a horrible gruesome death. So if you don't think people should hunt (quick painless deaths) than I suppose you support torturing animals.

@huntandfishya I was thinking the same thing. I was surprised the bear didn't barrel right through that wire. Very delicate footsteps on that big creature.
