The strength of Olentangy rests in our love for our students - your children - and the care and concern we have as we support one another through this tragedy. We will also come together as a community to support our neighbors, friends and classmates. Please know we will do everything possible to support all our students and families in the aftermath of this tragic incident. There are no words that will adequately express the sorrow we feel for the Schlotterbeck and McClelland families and those whose lives were touched by Gavin and Hunter. Our community is hurting today and will be in the coming days. Last evening, Liberty High School students, friends and families gathered to remember their friends and loved ones with shared memories, stories, songs, laughter and tears. Both Gavin and Hunter were Liberty High School rising seniors in the class of 2018. Gavin Schlotterbeck and Hunter McClelland were traveling northbound on Africa Road when they were fatally injured in an auto accident yesterday. Arlon Dwain Sims, better known as Dwain, age 73 of Sparta, passed away at 1:56pm Friday, Februat St. © 2016 The Wildlife Society.It is with great sadness that I write to share the tragic news of the loss of two of our students. Although more population density, trend, and vital rate measurements would be beneficial, the hypothesis that the grizzly bear hunt has been unsustainable was not supported by our investigation of available information. Hunter kill data from declining populations had a high proportion of males and these were older, demonstrating that these indices of kill rates are sometimes unreliable. Although population inventories in these areas found moderate or even high densities of bears, some are now in decline. Bonnie Allen McLelland, age 97, of Bradley, Arkansas passed away Tuesday. The case studies had the highest kill densities or among the highest kill rates in the province and hunting targets were commonly exceeded and seasons closed or the hunter kill target reduced.

The average density estimate of 21 inventories in hunted areas without salmon ( Oncorhynchus spp.) in British Columbia (31.2 bears/1,000 km 2) was as high as or higher than nearby unhunted areas. Nancy was a 1966 graduate of Eisenhower High School and a graduate of Ithaca State College, New York. She was born on July 10, 1948, in Jamestown, N.Y., to the late Emory and Fanny Hale. 14, 2022, at the Warren Manor, Warren, Pa. There have been more population inventories of grizzly bears in British Columbia than in any other jurisdiction. Hunter, 74, of Sugar Grove, Pa., passed away Friday, Oct. An average of 107.4 females and 204.9 males per cohort born between 19 were eventually killed by people and recorded, suggesting that many more females than males died for unknown reasons. The average age of female and male grizzly bears killed by hunters increased from 7.1 years and 7.4 years, respectively, in the 1980s to 7.7 years and 8.7 years, respectively, in the 2000s. We estimated that males have been 3–4 times more vulnerable to being killed by hunters than females, yet males dominate the kill at all ages and the proportion of males increased with age, which is opposite of what is predicted for a heavily hunted population. Because the natural mortality rate of adult grizzly bears is 1–2% and lower than was estimated when sustainable human-caused mortality targets were developed, estimated sustainable kill rates are 4–10%, and generally higher than the 4–6% used in British Columbia. To investigate the hypothesis that the hunt is unsustainable, we examined the sustainable human-caused mortality rate for grizzly bears using recent data on vital rates and population projection models and compare these to rates used by the management agency examined the age and sex ratio of the kill and how the sex ratio changes with age for the entire province, each population unit, and cohorts born each year between 19 summarized population density estimates in hunted population units in British Columbia and compared these to unhunted areas in adjacent jurisdictions and reviewed case studies of population units that have been highlighted as most likely to have had unsustainable kill levels. The sustainability of the grizzly bear ( Ursus arctos) hunt in British Columbia, Canada has been questioned and is a high profile issue, particularly in the media.
