This notice is to inform you on how to protect yourself when in the woods that are occupied by bear.
While hiking, fishing, hunting, or doing outdoor studies on nature, one should always take precautions on alerting the bears that you are near. It is a very good idea to wear bells around your neck so they can hear you coming. If for some reason this does not work, a can of pepper spray could be and maybe your last line of defense.
Also one should learn the difference between black bear feces and grizzly feces. Black bear feces will have nuts and berries while the grizzly will have bells in it and smells like pepper....
