A Public Service Announcement from the Beartown Department of Tourism

Editors note: The grizzly bear is not to be confused with our friendly black bears. This notice is only issued in case of the very unlikely visit by one of these unruly creatures. Our native black bears have always been very responsible in policing their own kind and there is no reason to expect this community effort not to continue.

In light of the rising frequency of human/grizzly bear conflicts in North America, the Beartown Tourism Department is advising hikers, hunters, and fishermen to take extra precautions and keep alert for bears while in the woods.
We advise outdoorsmen (and women) to wear noisy little bells on their clothing so as not to startle bears that aren't expecting them. We also advise outdoorspeople to carry pepper spray in case of an encounter with a grizzly bear.
It is also a good idea to watch out for signs of recent bear activity; for example, fresh bear droppings. Outdoorspeople should be able to recognize the difference between black bear* and grizzly bear** droppings.
*black bear droppings are small and contain lots of berries and squirrel fur.
**grizzly bear droppings have little bells in it and smells like pepper spray.
AND BY ALL MEANS ENJOY OUR BEAUTIFUL WOODS!
