About this file
Exhibit D is a document from the BLM Missoula Field Office detailing food and attractant storage provisions for contracts and permits, specifically focused on bear-resistant storage requirements. The document provides comprehensive guidelines for storing human, pet, and livestock food, garbage, and other wildlife attractants during both daytime and nighttime hours. Approved storage techniques include securing items in hard-sided vehicles or buildings, suspending items at least 10 feet high and 4 feet from any support, using bear-resistant containers, storing within an electric fence, or using alternative methods approved by the BLM Missoula Field Manager.
The document also specifies protocols for handling food waste and wildlife carcasses, such as packing out leftover food in sealed containers, burning attractants in contained stove fires, and storing wildlife carcasses in a bear-resistant manner when unattended or during nighttime hours. These provisions are part of the Buck Wild Stewardship Project (Solicitation No. 140L0625Q0020) and aim to minimize human-wildlife interactions and protect both people and wildlife in the project area managed by the Bureau of Land Management.

• Secured in a hard-sided camper or vehicle trunk or cab or trailer cab.
