As previously described, wolverine survey areas are different from the others because they typically consist of
two cameras at each installation. The vicinity camera captures detections within the general area, and the run-
pole camera detects animals on the run-pole. For this reason, Table 8 displays both vicinity camera and run-
pole camera data. Ideally, it will give a more accurate understanding of detection rate, and species detected,
without doubling detection events. Most of the installations have two cameras, but in the cases of Blackjack
Ridge and one of the Mount Baker installations, there was only one camera. Blackjack Ridge did not have a
run-pole so only a vicinity camera was used. Volunteers installed a run-pole during their most recent camera
check in early fall. One Mount Baker installation had a run-pole camera but only false triggers have been
detected.
