Bear Spray—carry it and know how to use it
by Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks
October 13, 2014
The Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee recommends the use of bear spray and urges hunters to learn other bear-aware safety measures.

Hunters in bear country need to:
- Carry bear spray and know how to use it.
- Hunt with a partner, leave detailed plans with someone and check-in periodically.
- Pay attention to fresh bear sign. Look for bear tracks, scat, and concentrations of natural foods.
- Use caution when hunting areas that have evidence of bear activity or areas with scavenging birds such as magpies, ravens or crows.
