Safety course |

New visitors need a safety training before they can go into the field. This inbvolves lectures about bear behaviour, weapon safety and shooting practice. I join the course fro two Flemish botanists, so I can check my own skills. Wojtek is our teacher. | ||

The course tries to create a confidence that you can handle the gun safe and effective.
Everyone is able to hit the target after a bit of excercise.
We talk a lot about awareness and making the right decision.
It is important to minimize the risk that a polar bear has to be shot. After all these years I am more afraid for the gun than for the risk of meeting a polar bear in the field. |
