Bear Alert

[DARK30]

The Oregon & Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife are advising hikers, hunters, fishermen, and golfers to take extra precautions and be on the alert for bears while in the forrests and park 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 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 bells in them and smell like pepper spray.

Dark, you're a sick and twisted person. Is it okay to use your joke? I have a friend that will believe it right to the last line.
