What to know if you come close to a bear

Fall is in full swing, and so is bear activity. If you're seeing bears more frequently lately, don't be alarmed. You may see more bears during the fall months as they prepare to go into their winter hibernation. You definitely don't want to get too close to them. Luckily, there are ways to stay aware and be safe if you do find yourself near one.
