I just came back from a fishing trip in Montana - as you have seen in the news they are also having a number of bear issues. They are also strongly encouraging people to not wear bear bells. They are finding bears especially curious to the light ringing and may actually attract instead of warning a bear of your presence. Talked to a grizz researcher and she said the number 1 deterrent for a bear of any kind is the human voice - as it sounds like nothing in nature. Her suggestion when in bear country is to talk - either to yourself or someone you are with.
