The Colorado State Department of Fish and Wildlife is advising hikers, hunters, fishermen, and golfers to take extra precautions and be on the alert for bears while in the Dillon, Breckenridge, and Keystone area.
They advise people to wear noise-producing devices such as little bells on their clothing to alert but not startle the bears unexpectedly.
They also advise you to carry pepper spray in case of an encounter with a bear. It is also a good idea to watch for signs of bear activity.
People should be able to recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear droppings.
Black bear droppings are smaller and contain berries and possibly squirrel fur.
Grizzly bear droppings have bells in them and smell like pepper spray

I heard another one (this one is old too Im sure) A women asks a park ranger how to tell the difference between black bears and grizzlies. The ranger says shoot thats easy! If it chases you up a tree and eats you ,its a black bear! But if it just shakes the tree until you fall out,then eats you ,its a grizzly! The woman turns to her husband and says honey were going to a motel!

Kick a black bear and he'll climb a tree.
Kick a griz and you'll climb a tree.

There were 3 guys all going hunting: 2 smart ones and a dumb one from Arkansas. The first smart guy went out and came back with a huge grizzly bear. The dumb guy asked him "How did you get that huge Grizzly bear?" The smart guy said, "I followed the tracks, went in the cave and shot the bear." Then the second smart guy went out and came back with a huge black bear. The dumb guy asked him, "How did you get that huge black bear?" The smart guy said, "I followed the tracks, went in the cave, and shot the bear. So the dumb guy went out and came back all bloody and cut up. The smart guys said, "What happened to you?" The dumb guy replied, "I followed the tracks, went in the cave, and got hit by a train."

They advise folks who carry guns to file off the end of the sight on their pistols. When asked why he said " so it won't hurt so bad when the bear shoves it up your ass".
