Subject:        Grizzly Bear Warning

   Montana grizzly bear notice:

   In light of the rising frequency of human/grizzly
   bear conflicts, the Montana Department of Fish and
   Game is advising hikers, hunters, and fishermen to
   take extra precautions and keep alert for bears while
   in the field.

   We advise that outdoorsmen wear noisy little bells
   on their clothing so as not to startle bears that
   aren't expecting them.

   We also advise outdoorsmen to carry pepper spray
   with them in case of an  encounter with a bear.

   It is also a good idea to watch out for fresh signs
   of bear activity. Outdoorsmen should recognize the
   difference between black bear and grizzly bear shit.

   Black bear shit is smaller and contains lots of
   berries and squirrel fur.  Grizzly bear shit has
   little bells in it and smells like pepper.

   YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.


   Regards,
   Bill
