The Colorado State Department of Fish and Wildlife is advising hikers, hunters, and fishers to take extra precautions and keep alert for bears this time of year.
They advise that people wear noise producing devices such as 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 fresh signs of bear activity. People should 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.'
