Bear oh my!

[Ronin13]

My mom just sent me this from a few miles down the road up here in Evergreen... a bear wandering around outside her office. Thought it was pretty neat and I'd share with you guys. The FedEx guy came in and told us about right before I got the email from the mom and said he almost hit it with his truck (brazen animal) and that the fire fighters at the station across the street were all outside checking it out. Now granted, we get bears and mountain lions up here, but never in a crowded area like where the office park my mom works at is.

That's cool. My folks get em all the time in their yard in Conifer.

Hey, if you ever need paint, my family owns the paint store in Bergen Park (shameless plug chance, there)

Just an afternoon stroll - using the path, no less...

Very very nice.
I've climbed half the 14ers in the state, done alot of hiking, never have seen a bear in Colorado.
Wish I knew alot more about where they were and their habits, I'd love to do a bear hunt once.

That is cool, thanks for sharing. Closest I've ever been to a bear was about 50 yards away in Idaho, thing was huge. Wouldn't be the species I would pick to mess with.

We have a few that come by here. Little one was here last week.

Actually funk, this happened about an hour and a half ago.. so morning stroll...
Ghetto, I know exactly what paint store you're talking about. I have no painting projects coming up, but I'll go there if I need some anytime.

Yep...see a few at my place in Conifer, spotted one ~2 weeks ago at th end of the drive. I have my widlife cam out but no matter how much I press, all I get is fox, elk, mule's and the occasional wandering dog. Once I get a bear...and I will...I plan to post it here on COAR.

Which paint store? I used to hit the Benj Morre shop over there but...now they've opened in Aspen Park so I've been going there lately.

Had one in my back yard at 5:30 this morning. He ate the contents of the neighbors bird feeder for breakfast.

I enjoy seeing them and they don't really cause any problem other than losing a bird feeder or two.

That's us, man! That's the family business. My folks, Mike and Robin, are the owners
