Jason_Martin Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 I once took a wilderness first responder recert course with a guy who was studying how backcountry users read signs. He found that if you put something unusual in the sign, more people will actually read the sign and do what it asks. I suspect that this is one of those tactics. Jason Quote

JoshK Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Anybody know if pepper spray would actually deter a grizzly? It seems a black bear might go running, but i'd be afraid of just pissing the grizzly off more... :-| Quote
archenemy Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 I'm sure you've heard of the occasional story where a madman fights off a griz and lives to tell the tale. If that can happen on occasion, I guess pepper spray might have an effect--if yer lucky. Quote

rob Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Fort Steel Campground seems like exactly the kind of place I'd expect to see a grizzly http://www.fortsteelecampground.com/page9/page9.html Quote
