The Wisconsin State Dept of Fish and Wildlife is advising
hikers, hunters, fishermen and golfers to take extra
precautions and be on the alert for bears this summer.
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.
People should be able to recognize the presence of bears in
an area by their droppings:
Black bear droppings are smaller and contain berry residue
and possibly squirrel fur.
Grizzly bear droppings have little bells in them and smell
like pepper spray.
