Black or Grizzly
Montana
locals are quick to give you advice about bears. Don't run, back
away, and when in the woods make noise. Many locals carry pepper
spray bear repellent, and have bear bells attached to their clothing for noise.
One local even advised me how to tell if the scat you see is from a Black Bear or a Grizzly.
It
is apparently common knowledge around here that if you see scat with
seeds and fruit remnants in it, that smells fruity, it is likely from
a Black Bear. On the other hand, if you see scat that contains bear
bells and smells like pepper, it is probably from a Grizzly.
Useful
knowledge, perhaps.........
