In light of the rising frequency of human/grizzly bear
conflicts, the
Montana Department of Fish and Game is advising
hikers, hunter, and
fishermen to take extra precautions and keep alert of
bears while in the
field. We advise that outdoorsmen wear noisy little
bells on their
clothing so as not to startle bears that aren't
expecting them. We also
advise outdoorsmen to carry pepper spray with them in
case of an
encounter
with a bear.
It is also a good idea to watch out for fresh signs of
bear activity.
Outdoorsmen should recognize the difference between
grizzly bear and
stich bear doody.
Grizzly bear doody is smaller and
contains lots of
berries, and
squirrel fur.
Stich bear doody has little bells in
it and smells like
pepper.
Don't listen to Big Mike! Please Feed the (Stich) Bears!
