Bear Alert!

The Arizona State Department of Fish and Wildlife is advising hikers, hunters, fishermen, and golfers to take extra precautions and to be on the alert for bears while in forest areas.

They advise people to wear noise-producing devices such as whistles or 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 little bells and whistles in them and they smell like pepper spray.
