Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Where should you keep your food when camping?

Answer: all of these are good ideas

Bears have an acute sense of smell, so there are no guaranteed ways of keeping food safe, but all of these should help.

2. Picking the ripe fruit on fruit trees in your yard is a good way to decrease the number of bears that wander into town.

Answer: True

Letting ripe fruit fall and rot on the ground is just an invitation to bears.

3. The best time of day to hike or walk in the woods in bear country in the US is when?

Answer: during the daylight hours

All the others are prime feeding times for bears.

4. Making lots of noise while hiking is a good way to warn bears you are nearby - true or false?

Answer: True

Usually a bell, whistle or shaker (or even talking loudly) is enough, but some bears are more tame and will not be frightened away by noise.

5. Bear spray (pepper spray) has been proven to deter an overly-curious or attacking bear - true or false?

Answer: True

Bear spray is useful, but hopefully you will never be close enough to a bear to have to use it.
