The bill states that the Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission would be the ones setting rules to establish the hunting season, and create special licenses for hunters. As fake as it sounds, this bill real and official, but has yet to become an act or law. If it does by some miracle get passed, the act will take effect on November 1st, 2021.
For reference, the Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission does not recognize Bigfoot as an official species living in the state. When it comes to sightings of the rare forest creature Oklahoma ranked 9th overall for the most sightings in America, which boiled down to about 2.6 sightings per capita. Is that enough to justify a hunting season?
It's not hard to accidentally get up close and personal with wildlife in Yellowstone. One family learned that the hard way a few years ago when they had a grizzly bear get very friendly with their car.
British Guys in Wyoming Learn Singing Does NOT Keep Bears Away
I don t claim to know everything, but I am pretty sure that singing does not necessarily keep bears away. Two British guys visiting Grand Teton National Park learned this the hard way.
Tomas Budin dropped this video on YouTube some time ago. It documents his visit with his buddy to Grand Teton National Park. It s called bear encounter for a reason. He and his friend show their journey where they begin singing. We ve been advised to make noises and sing songs. Let s see how that worked out for them.
Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Hamilton is concentrating on COVID-19 research, as part of nationwide studies from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). However, the lab has other studies that continue to make research headlines. In an NIH news release, scientists identified a protein that allows the common Salmonella bacteria to infect cells.
Salmonella is a common foodborne infection that causes inflammation of the lining of a person s intestines. The bacteria floats in a tumbling action inside the gut, but when it s ready to infect a cell, it swims in a straight line for a brief time and invades the cell. A team at Rocky Mountain Laboratories led a study that showed how a protein (McpC) was responsible for the smooth swimming and the resulting infection. When they grew the salmonella bacteria without the protein, the straight swimming didn t happen in a calf intestine model and infection didn t happen.
