Bear Alerts
The Colorado State Department of Fish and Wildlife is
advising hikers, hunters, fishers, and golfers to take
extra precautions and keep alert for bears while in
the Dillon, Breckenridge, and Keystone areas. 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 the
carrying of 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 spray....
