... another email from a friend...
Alaska Department of Fish and Game
is advising hikers
, hunters
, and fishermen
to take extra precautions and keep alert of bears
while in the field. We advise that campers wear noisy little bells on their clothing so as not to startle bears
that aren't expecting them. We also advise campers 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. Campers should recognize the difference between black bear
and grizzly bear
dung. Black bear
dung is smaller and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur. Grizzly bear
dung has little bells in it and smells like pepper.
