The Colorado State Department of Fish and Wildlife is
advising hikers,
hunters, fishermen, and golfers to take extra
precautions and be on the
alert for bears while in the Dillon, Breckenridge, and
Keystone area.
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 you to carry pepper spray in case of
an encounter with
a bear.
It is also a good idea to watch for signs of bear
activity.
People should especially avoid areas that show signs
of grizzly bear activity.
Some signs include bear droppings.
People should be able to 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
