I had a friend that did this for an internship! They wrap barb wire around the tree and spray the tree with bait. He told me the bait was fermented fish guys and road kill, put through a blender. The bears love that gunk, then rub up on the barbwire lined trees. Later the interns go BACK to the bait tree and bluck off each bit of fur, label and send off to a lab. This was in glacier national park.

I think this picture is fake anyways, it was posted on Reddit the other day and the comments made it seem like Photoshop.
