Sign text reads:
Due to the frequency of human-bear encounters, the B.C. Fish and Wildlife Branch is advising hikers, hunters, fishermen and any persons that use the out of doors in a recreational or work related function to take extra precautions while in the field.
We advise the outdoorsman to wear little noisy bells on clothing so as to give advanced warning to any bears that might be close by so you don’t take them by surprise.
We also advise anyone using the out-f-doors to carry “Pepper Spray” with him is case of an encounter with a bear.
Outdoorsmen should also be on the watch for fresh bear activity, and be able to tell the difference between black bear feces and grizzly bear feces. Black bear feces is smaller and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur. Grizzly bear shit has bells in it and smells like pepper.

Yeah, right… a little noisy bell will really terrify a hungry grizzly 🙂
ringing bells before dinner? Didn’t Pavlov do someting like this with a dog?
Making loud noises “can” make the bear seemed frighten.
It is a good idea!

I just “Might go in the wonderful outdoors with Grizzly bears!!” We have enough black bears in my neighborhood to keep us on our toes. Can’t even put our garbabe out in “bearproof” garbage cans that have screw on lids. They find a way to open them!!!Had one rip my neighbors shed door down 3 times to get at garbage. Had one break in the back sliding screen door in the neighborhood because he/she smelled cooking!! Some people in West Milford think we shouldn’t have a bear hunt in November for a week. Most of us think otherwise. Our families are more important than black bears!!!Sept.26,2009,9 PM
I just” might go into the wonderful outdoors with Grizzly bears!!!”not! We have too many black bears in my neighborhood to keep us on our toes. Cam’t even put our garbage out the nicht before garbage day in “bearproof” cans that have screw on lids. The bears have figured out how to get them open. My nextdoor neighbors shed has been broken into 3 times. Bears rip them down to get into the garbage. Had an incident recently where somebody was cooking with their sliding door screen closed. A bear broke it down to get to the food. The bleeding hearts in West Milford don’t want a bear hunt. We think its long past the time that we should!!!
That’s an awesome sign!!! Too funny!!!
I have heard it all now!! The politically correct people are now controlling the bear world. Do they follow their own advice?
Its going to be funny when a highly important person gets attacked or killed by a bear then the government will look at us saying that we should do more to control the population, but they are the idiots making the strict limits and trying to stick to the anti hunters because there are more anti hunters than hunters. but the government should look at their former president teddy rosevelt who established the hunting basis of our country

In case anyone’s interested we’ve turned the “Bear Sign” into a “Bear Shirt” available at http://www.aliveadventuregear.com. Shameless plug! Thanks!

I have heard that the best way to distinguish between a black bear and a grizzly bear is to climb a tree. If it climbs up after you, it is a black bear. If it knocks the tree over, it is a grizzly…
Maybe if people did not build and live in the bears natural habitat you wouldn’t be having these problems, and no I’m not anti hunting.
Hunting has it’s place, but not when it’s becouse humans have taken over an animals habitat, destrying it’s home.
The bears were there a hell of alot longer than you lot and will be there a long time after you are gone.
When all the bears are extinct becouse they were killed for being an inconvenience to idiots who decide to build and live in bear country, everyone will be wondering why there is no more beautiful bears, but they won’t blame them selves or their ancestors will they ???

Yeah…like a sign in a public park would have the word “shit” printed on it. Nice try.
Louise… try some basic logic in your rants, willya?

Why wouldn’t the word ‘shit’ be printed on a public sign? You posted it on a public forum.
shit has bell in it and smells like pepper….CLASSIC!!!!!!! Thanks for the laugh!!!!

Clearly photoshopped.
The bells aren’t to scare the bear. Bears usually want nothing to do with you and will not be scared of you. The bells are to make sure the bear knows you are coming because if you surprise it the startled bear will go into defense mode and that is when it gets dangerous.
