Alaska Grizzly Bear Notice
In light of the increasing frequency of human/grizzly bear encounters, the Alaska Department of Wildlife is encouraging tourists, fishermen and hikers to take extra precautions and keep alert while traveling Alaska this summer.
We advise people to wear some sort of noisemaker on their clothing such as a bell, so as to not startle any bear which may be near. We also advise everyone to carry pepper spray in case of an accidental encounter with a bear.
It is also a good idea to be alert for recent bear activity. Outdoorsmen should learn to recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear dung. Black bear dung is smaller, and will contain such food items as berries, and small animal fur. Grizzly bear dung is larger, and will contain little bells and smell like pepper spray.

huge bear! shot in Alaska, the pic is real, not doctored but this bear was not agressive and a man-eater as previously claimed. There are, two versions to the story though. The fact is, they DO grow them big in Alaska...
crap!
Oh yeah. And like they say, once you leave civilization, you become part of the food chain.
