How to be Bear Aware in Montana?

One thing that's important to do is make a lot of noise in an attempt to scare bears away. People often clap their hands and shout "Hey Bear" to deter bears.

You don't just have to say "Hey Bear." There are other creative things you can say to keep bears at bay. For instance, people on social media and at public events are quick to express their political beliefs and share them with others. Remember when everyone was chanting "Let's Go, Brandon?" Bears may not care about your political affiliation, but that doesn't mean you don't have to tell them about it.
