Bear With It

September 29th, 2011 3:19pm - Posted By: Kara

The fall season is upon us and there have been numerous sightings of bears. And, these aren’t the bears that wear hats or bow ties. I have had friends encounter bears from Williams Lake to the Weimar area.

Bears are preparing for hibernation so don’t leave birdseed, food garbage etc. out for them. And, to protect yourself out hiking or on early morning treks - Taos Mountain Outfitters does sell bear spray and bear bells. Both are used for different purposes. The spray will protect you if you have a face to face encounter and the bells will just make noise so you won’t startle a bear. 

PLEASE – read the label on bear spray before going on a hike. Do not use the spray near a dog. This is a beautiful time of the year – so enjoy!
