The Rules...
The Montana State Department of Fish and Wildlife advises golfers to
take extra precautions and be on the alert for bears while playing
on Gallatin, Helena, and Lewis and Clark National Forests Golf Courses.
They advise golfers to wear noise-producing devices such as little
bells on their clothing to alert, but not to startle the bears
unexpectedly. They also advise you to carry pepper spray in the case
of an encounter with a bear.
It is also a good idea to watch for signs of bear activity. Golfers
should be able to 'recognize the difference' between Black bear and
Grizzly bear droppings on the golf course. Black bear droppings are
smaller and contain berries and possibly squirrel fur. Grizzly bear
droppings have bells, golf-gloves and sunglasses in them, and smell
like pepper spray.
