Following this event, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game recently issued the following bulletin:

"In light of the rising frequency of human/grizzly bear conflicts, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game is advising hikers, hunters, fishermen and campers to take extra precautions and to keep alert for bears while in the field."

"We advise outdoorsmen to wear noisy little bells on their clothing to not startle bears that aren't expecting them. We also advise outdoorsmen to carry pepper spray with them in case of an encounter with a bear."

"It is also a good idea to be on the lookout for fresh signs of bear activity. Outdoorsmen should recognize the difference between "black bear" and "grizzly bear" manure."

"Black bear manure is smaller in size and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur."

"Grizzly bear manure has little bells in it and smells like pepper."
