Excellent comment on the last page:
"Due to the rising frequency of human-bear encounter, the BC 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-of-doors to carry "Pepper Spray" with
him or her 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 shit and grizzly bear shit. Black
bear shit is smaller and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur. Grizzly
bear shit has bells in it, and smells like pepper.
