Swan Rangers saw lots of bear tracks on their hikes during the week ending Saturday, October 31, 2020!
It is big game hunting season, so keep your bear spray handy and be extra careful not to stumble upon game or gut piles left behind by hunters. There may be a very defensive bear feeding on it! Ravens ganging up in one area can be a sign there is dead meat nearby - and they may not be the only ones at the party!
