Grizzly bears are a protected species and if you kill one you'd better claim self defense. There are two seasons for black bears, one in the spring and one in the fall. There is also a two week archery season just prior to the fall general season. Hunters with a bear tag have to take a species identification test. Many trailheads also have posters explaining the differences between the two species. I've encountered quite a few black bears and they either run away, tree, or ignore me. I try not to stumble over grizzlies. I may have seen one but he was standing up facing me which makes identification difficult. His fur was light brown but that's not reliable since some black bears have a cinnamon colored coat. Grizzly propagation is very controversial. Personally I'd prefer they stay out of areas I frequent.
