9/10/2012 - Andrew Jernigan, a wildlife technician with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, sets up the bait in a bear trap located in Poquito Bayou, a section of base housing on Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., Sept. 10. Recent sightings of Florida Black Bears in the region have kept the FWC busy. According to 96th Civil Engineer Group wildlife management experts, people should make every attempt to secure their trash to prevent the bears from finding an easy food source, which eliminates their need to forage in the forest.
