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 outdoors-men/women wear noisy little bells on their clothing so as not to startle bears that aren't expecting them. We also advise outdoors-men/ women to carry pepper spray with them in the case of an encounter with a bear. It is also a good idea to watch out for fresh signs of bear activity. outdoors-men/women should recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear dung. Black bear dung is smaller and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur. Grizzly bear dung has little bells in it and smells like pepper. Enjoy Your Stay In Montana !

I remember reading about the Lewis and Clark expeditions where the natives talked to them about the grizzly bear, the natives made the bears sound like monsters and the settlers didn’t believe such stories, they thought it was exaggeration and that their rifles were much better than their arrows and they could take down a grizzly easily. After the settlers encountered a couple of grizzly bears and some got mauled by them, they realized the natives were not exaggerating, rather they didn’t do the bear enough justice. “Shooting at them only makes them angrier” “If you catch one with their cub, its too late, you’re already a dead man walking” were some of the things the settlers later wrote about the bears.

When hiking it is advised to wear bells so they can hear you coming, and to carry pepper spray just in case. You can tell the difference in their pawprint and their scat too. Black bears are 90% vegetarian and their poop is full of seeds and bits of undigestable stuff. Grizzly poop is full of little bells and smells like pepper.

As a kid I went to a school in Northern(ish) Ontario and part of the program was a week in Algonquin park canoeing/camping. The last day we were on our way out, tired, dirty, wet and hungry not making much noise, we just wanted to get dry and eat. We were headed down a small slow moving river to the last lake, we cut the inside corner of a bend in the river, and almost hit a Moose having a snack. I could have hit it with my paddle. A big male, fully racked out, it was massive. We were well inside the danger zone (mid September, so the rut is starting), and being in a canoe it towered over us up to its belly in the water. Then it started to exit the river, and it just got taller, and taller. Thankfully it decided to not smash us into a bloody pile of meat, but JFC, it was so much bigger than I thought it would be. We had seen a couple of cows and young ones during the trip, but this thing was a MONSTER. Seeing some mounted ones later in life, it had to be at least 1400 lbs. Heck of a day in grade 10 at your new school.

Chicago Bears joke "You want to know how to keep bears out of your yard ? Paint a goal line and add a goal post in it ? ( you have to be old from the 80s and understand this along with Chicago NFL drought for a SuperBowl )

[@jameslaw3740]

When your running and screaming like a little girl , to get away from the bear , the last thing you care about is whether its a black bear or a Grizzly bear. Grizzly bears are fast for their size and black bears are incredibly fast, who ever thought of the stand your ground and look bigger than you are, was the guy who told his friend to do so while he was running away to save his own behind..... You don't have to out run the bear , you only have to outrun your buddy or spouse........

@@robyndismon394 have you been up close to a bear??? Did a fly in , in Quebec once where the bears come right up to your front door and look into your windows.....scary as hell to say the least. You learn to watch the signs of aggressive behavior, if you believe you have the balls to stay there and look bigger than the bear, do so, if not walk away backwards while watching to see if it follows. Then you will understand what screaming like a little girl means, if it follows you for dinner, and your buddies hear you screaming they might come rescue you or wait until later to come back and see what is left of you......( check your pockets for the car keys and share wallet since you won't be needing them anymore) Fight or flight ...lol

These animals are a moving mountain of muscle! They can run faster than humans. They weigh 800 to 1,000± pounds. They are majestic & should be given a lot of room. You piss one off or bother it too much and your going to see a large mouth full of large fangs coming your way. Do not ever take these beast lightly.

[@stuckgrenadepin.225]

For everyone saying that there is not scale to estimate the size of the bear, that fence is likely around 4.5 feet tall. That is about standard for a fence you can tie off your horse too. That bear is likely easily 8.5-9 feet tall at a conservative guess. It is squatting with it’s butt on the ground and is still roughly 2 feet taller than the fence. Add at least 2 feet for the length of its legs if it was standing and then math does itself.

[@seviregis7441]

I don’t know how anyone can live near those bears, that’s terrifying. And they break into houses too, their strength is immense. How can you go out and do any gardening, walk your dog, sit on the porch, shovel snow, or even get into your car without risk? Even a black bear could be up a tree and drop down when he sees you out.

[@bonjovi2757]

Usually a 12 gauge shotgun makes for a pretty good deterrent. I'm actually never "afraid" when I go out in the wild. Cautious, yes. Alert, YES. but afraid? no.

[@nathanadrian7797]

Bear attacks are very rare. I have lived in some of the worst Grizz country my whole life and only know of 4 local bear attacks(none ended with injuries to the people). Bears usually run away. I can't remember how many times I have chased a Grizz off my yard, a good dog is an incredible asset. No need to be afraid, but cautious and respectful of them is smart.

Use the fence for size reference. That is not a tiny white picket fence, but a standard size ranch fence is about 4' for the top wire/rail. This is a big boy and he is standing on a lower slope.

there are normal brown bears too you know, not just grizzly and black ones. There are even bigger than grizzly ones, called kodiaks. Both kodiaks and grizzly bears belong to brown bears. It depends on their size.

[@HeronPoint2021]

Cold and diet: the biggest grizz. and moose in the Alberta record book are out of the Athabaska watershed, just west of Whitecourt. It gets minus 55 below and colder for two weeks at a time. Windfall, 1959, a good year to move to Oklahoma. So we moved to Tulsa. No bears at all.

The height of the wooden fence tells you that's not a full sized shed.

It's a small shed - but also it's a high fence. Take a look at the last photo. The camera angle in the first photos make the fence look disproportionate.
