FWP Releases “Bear Aware” Videos
HELENA – If you've traveled east of the Rocky Mountains in Montana, it might not scream "Griz Country." But don't let this prairie landscape fool you. There are grizzlies in this region and for the residents who live here they have some tools to avoid grizzly conflicts, one tool might be a little hairy. Special thanks to the Becker family with Stick Leg Ranch.
As part of Bear Aware Month, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is running a series of videos featuring bear aware content. These videos are available on YouTube (clock title to watch the video:
