September is Bear Aware month in Montana, partly due to fall being a special period of hyperactivity for bears. As their caloric needs increase before winter, bears enter a period of increased scavenging, called hyperphagia, and they are known to be more active and potentially more aggressive during this time. Some basic reminders when recreating in bear country:
Look for fresh bear signs (scat, tracks, carcasses, torn up stumps, overturned rocks, etc.).
When possible, travel in groups of 3 or more.
Make noise, especially when visibility is poor.
Always carry bear spray and know how to use it.
