Canada's British Columbia and Alberta Department of Fish and
Wildlife, is advising hikers, hunters, fishers, and golfers to take
extra
precautions and keep alert for bears while in the forested areas.
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 carrying of pepper spray in case of an
encounter with a bear. It is also a good idea to watch for fresh signs of bear activity. People should 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 little bells in them and smell like pepper spray....
