Da Bears

[Emery]

The Colorado State Department of Fish and Wildlife is advising hikers,
hunters, fishermen, and golfers to take extra precautions and be on the
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 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.
