BEAR ! ! !

[sellersm]

Honestly I'd rather have bears as neighbors than Democrats.

^For the win!! Bears are just misunderstood. C'mon, we just need open dialogue, some sensitivity training, some understanding and then we can all coexist!

was made out to be a hero by the press. Most people around here think she's an idiot. This happened just across the highway from me.

Bears will be Bears. But the CPW has no fuk'n idea how to handle them.

Make loud noises, bang on pots and pans: this makes a bear climb a tree right next to your house and stay there for 16+ hours.
Clean your BBQ grill, never ever in 30+ years had a bear care about wtf was ever on the grill.
Bears like birdseed, they like hummer food, they like other types of pet food etc.
I have had coffee on my deck with a bear that just seemed to like the view across the valley of Mt Evans, not interested in any thing else including me.
Critters are critters, we can'/don't know how to predict what they will do. So just enjoy them, hunt, fish and realize we are in their habit.

Short story I was fishing the Shoshone in May (spring run off), a big boar grizz came out on the opposite side about 20 yards, water was very fast too fast for wading. So he kept an eye on me and I the same. he knew water was too swift for him so he sat and watched. Of course I moved on.

black bears aren't that bad. I've seen one on the trail and sure i turned and went the other way but its rare a black bear attacks. usually only if completely surprised.

Davsel, I shared your story with my best friend and his wife who live about a mile (my guesstimation) north of Hwy 24 in Florissant. Here was her reply:

"Neighbor down the road just msg'd me that we have a bear. No news there, but she said it killed a PONY. Might be the same one he saw. DOW will be out looking for him tonight."

As cstone often reminds us: "Be safe"

You don't want to end up like poor yankee Darsh.

A pony? Sure it wasn't a big cat? I find it hard to believe a black bear would go out of its way to kill such a big animal, but it's possible I guess.

As far as a bear INSIDE my house.....it'll be a rug in short order.
