Bear alert in Colorado....
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, Vail, 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 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 bells in them and smell like pepper spray.
