September is "Bear Aware" month in Montana as bear activity increases. will host several educational events featuring activities, prizes, and giveaways.

Bear Encounter Tips!
* Never run away. You cannot outrun a bear. Running may trigger a bear to chase.
*Never approach the bear
*Different situations call for different responses.
👉 If you see a bear at a distance, the bear appears unaware of you and you can move away undetected, do so quietly when the bear is not looking toward you.
👉 If you cannot avoid a bear that sees you, stand your ground and watch its behavior. Move away when it disengages.

Check the link in our bio for a complete list of "Bear Aware" opportunities to get tips from the experts and learn how to protect yourself in Bear Country.
