The Forest Service has issued a BEAR WARNING in the national forests for this summer. They're urging everyone to protect themselves by wearing bells and carrying pepper spray.

Campers should be alert for signs of fresh bear activity, and they should be able to tell the difference between Black Bear dung and Grizzy Bear dung.

Black Bear dung is rather small and round. Sometimes you can see fruit seeds and/or squirrel fur in it.

Grizzly Bear dung has bells in it, and smells like pepper spray!

Are there bear where you hunt? My brother has the head and skin of a black bear he shot; also the ugliest boar you've ever seen.

LOL! Funny you should mention that... I had a close encounter with a black bear this spring while turkey huntin'... seein' as I only had #5 shotshells and bears are protected on the base (translation; "if he's already eaten your leg you can shoot him") I crept back the way I came...real nonchalant like...

Question: Why do Alaskans file the front sight off of their .44 magnum revolvers?
Answer: So it doesn't hurt as bad when the grizzly shoves it up your bum...
