Bear Alert


AARON1

Recommended Posts

The Colorado State Department of Fish and Wildlife is advising

hikers,

 hunters, fishermen, and golfers to take extra precautions and be on

the

alert  for bears while in the Dillon, Breckenridge, and Keystone

area.

 They advise people to wear noise-producing devices such as little

bells on

 their clothing to alert but not startle the bears unexpectedly. They

also advise you to carry pepper spray in case of an encounter with a

 bear. It is also a good idea to watch for signs of bear activity.

 People should be able to recognize the difference between black bear

and

 grizzly bear droppings.

Black bear droppings are smaller and contain berries and possibly

squirrel

 fur.

Grizzly bear droppings have bells in them and smell like pepper spray.
