B.C Fish and Wildlife is advising hikers, hunters and fishermen to take extra precautions. "We advise the outdoorsman to wear noisy bells to give advance warning to bears. We also advise carrying pepper spray in case of an encounter with bears."
"You should be on the watch for fresh bear activity, and be able to tell the difference between Black bear feces and Grizzly bear feces. Black bear feces
is small and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur. Grizzly bear feces has bells in it and smells like pepper."
Cheers!
