The writing is pretty boring, just regurgitating simple facts he's learned along the way. Nothing that new or interesting imo. And he portrays Doug Seus too good to be true - like they're so nice and "in touch" with the animals emotions that I am soooooo sus of them. But nothing bad online about them comes up in a quick search

Did appreciate the summary of information on the Craigheads - but it does feel like just a summary. And there is a weird insistence of inserting the scientific names for random animals then immediately writing out their common names?? For no reason

Also like the discussion on bear diets of interior bears without berries or salmon - "Army cutworm moths are like M&Ms for bears" and the whitebark pines providing yummy seeds in the pinecones and bark

he touches on the bear bile industry but most focuses on illegal poaching from vandal killings (even though i can't find a reference to where that term came from) and trading bears for entertainment "wildlife parks" - I did like the chapter on bear-resistant products and how bears go about getting their food

This guy needs a new editor lmao the chapter on finding the collars is almost useless - a tiny bit of information with a LOT of wandering around and weird quotes including "Get to the choppa!" with a lame explanation of what the reference is, just in case you live under a rock. It wasn't funny even before he explained the joke
