Chuck has been working on bear avoidance and wildlife stewardship issues since 1976 when he retired from car racing. He put a special effort into monitoring the research and development of bear spray at the University of Montana in the mid 1980s and efforts to market the first bear spray. This included working with biologists and naturalists to determine the effectiveness of the new product called bear spray and its ability to protect people and bears. Since then we have continued to research bear encounters and maulings to determine the causes involved with each.
