Bear Warning
Reportedly from a sign posted at the Fort Steele Campground,
WARNING
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 noisy little bells on clothing so as to give advance warning to any bears that might be close by so that you don’t take them by surprise.
We also advise anyone using the out-of-doors to carry “Pepper Spray” with him in 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.
OK, even if the above is not a totally accurate representation of a posted sign, Fort Steele Campground looks like a neat place to spend a few days - http://www.fortsteelecampground.com/index.html
