Hunting Bears using Llamas

USING LLAMAS IN MONTANA, THESE GUYS EXTEND THEIR RANGE & SAVE THEIR BACKS.
“Man, these elk tracks weren’t here yesterday when we hiked in,” I whispered excitedly to my hunting companion.
“They literally walked right on top of our footprints last night. Crazy!”
Patrick shot me a look. “Those,” he said, “those are llama tracks, Kevin.”
More specifically, they were our llamas, well, Patrick’s llamas, that we both hiked in with the night before.
Some hunter I was.
Clearly, this was my first time hunting with llamas. Moments later I redeemed myself when I spotted what we were searching for: a chocolate colored black bear feeding on an open hillside about three quarters of a mile away.
“He’s all yours if you want him,” I told Patrick.
Llama Antibodies
As much as we want to ignore it – and even with such welcome distractions as spring turkeys, sheds, morels and black bears – we can’t. COVID-19 is on everyone’s minds. And believe it or not, it’s how I found myself finally embarking on an adventure I’ve been wanting to experience for years: a backcountry hunt with llamas.
Research on super, covid-fighting llama antibodies has been in the news lately. Turns out, llamas have smaller, more stable antibodies than humans called nanobodies. Being tinier, these antibodies are able to bring their little virus defenses to much smaller micro-battlefields, thereby better-shielding organisms from the coronavirus. Sounds promising. I was convinced; I needed to spend some time with llamas.
