Bear Warning
Due to the frequency of human-bear encounters, the B.C. 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 is 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 feces and grizzly bear feces. Black bear feces is smaller and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur. Grizzly bear shit has bells in it and smells like pepper.
I could not copy the sign. It said this. I thought this was good since I had a black bear on my deck eating from my can of sunflower seeds. The can is now in the cellar. Ralph

I think it would be more appropriate for the bait people to wear larger bells - probably bells in the range of 2 to 5 inches in diameter so the bear either chokes or gets a fatal bowel obstruction on the first bait person he tries to consume.
Bait's expensive to prepare and it shouldn't require more than one liberal, er, bait person per bear.
