Effort was concentrated on the eastern side of the main Cabinets, from Deep Creek south to the West Fisher River, Two weeks were spent trapping the western side of the main Cabinets in the Bull River drainage. A total of 40 individual black bears were captured 44 times. A single adult female grizzly (#678) was captured in Bear Creek drainage on 29 June.

The grizzly and five black bears were fitted with radio-collars. Figure 4 shows trap success by time period. During mid and late May, trap success (percent of total snares capturing bears each night) reached a high of approximately 20%. Success was good through the end of June, but declined rapidly in July. Overall trap success was about 12 percent. Due to the number of bears caught, the logistics of trapping, and the time required to make cubbies and reset snare, it was difficult to keep more than 8-10 snares operational on a daily basis with one trapping team. Trapping was attempted at higher elevations inside the wilderness during early August, but was abandoned because It was determined to be an inefficient use of time without helicopter support. Pack animals could not be used due to terrain and lack of a trail system. Trapping activities also reduced time available for radio tracking.
