Bear Warning
=============
Due to the frequency of human-bear encounters, the Fish and Wildlife Department is advising hikers, hunters, fishermen, and any persons that use the out of doors in a recreational or work related function to take extra precautions while in the field.
We advise the outdoorsman to wear little noisy bells on clothing so as to give advanced warning to any bears that might be close by so you don't take them by surprise.
We also advise anyone using the out of doors to carry "Pepper Spray" with them in case of an encounter with a bear, also spray yourself with human urine prior to leaving, to put them off.
Outdoorsmen should also be on the watch for fresh bear activity, and be able to tell the difference between black bear faeces, grizzly bear faeces and drop bear faeces.
Drop bear faeces have small seeds in it, hair, brains, and it smells like eucalyptus.
Black bear faeces are smaller and contains berries and squirrel fur. Grizzly bear faeces have bells in it and smell like pepper.
Additionally, if you find yourself being pursued by a bear, you must be able to identify the bear to determine how much danger you are in.
To do this, we suggest you climb a tree. If the bear chases you
up the tree, it's a black bear.
If the bear knocks the tree down, it's a grizzly bear.
If the bear drops down on you from the tree, it's a drop bear.
It will eat your brains, slowly.
