How big was the footprint? You guys have black bear or brown bear indiginous to the area?

don't believe there are any Grizzly left in Colorado.
-
black bear. footprint is a little larger than my outstretched hand.
-
Hopefully it doesn't decide your house is a fun hangout. I suppose up there you have all your trash bearproofed anyway, eh?
-
Don't get your face eaten. :eek:
-
Your girlfriend went barefoot? :D
Nice fishy's!
-
Wlfgng,
I hope this doesnt cause you any distress, but, according to statistics that I have seen you are more likely to be attacked by a black bear than a grizzly. I guess that is because they are more numerous.
Enjoy your fishing spot! :D
Regards, Shuckins

About 15 years ago a black bear pulled a local boy scout out of his tent and killed him. Was the most horrific bear attack ever in this area. There were 2 boys in the tent.

black bears are a way of life here.
MT.. I'd be willing to bet there was food in the tent of the kid smelled of food. How horrible though.
I have seen at least 10 in the 3 years I've lived here. In fact, I have a picture of a cub we rescued a year ago.. but can't find it.
While it's true that black bears are more aggressive than most, they don't really want anything to do with humans.
Of cousre, they do like our trash so we have strict laws governing trash bins, etc.
I've seen this guy around quite a bit since he's busy fattening up for winter.
We live on the river and see a lot of wildlife from bears, deer, racoons, etc to eagles and owls.
It's part of living here.
btw, my fishing spot is in my back yard so I don't have far to go to get home.
I did feel a little nervous the other night carrying a fish home after dark though... :eek:

I bet you bears eat food at camps because it smells of kid. :(

"When I was a kid my favorite relative was Uncle Caveman. After school we'd all go play in his cave, and every once in a while he would eat one of us. It wasn't until later that I found out that Uncle Caveman was a bear."
Gawddamn bears. :mad:
-
Agreed Wlfgng. Then again, I'm old enough to remember when the bears used to line up at the entrance to Yellowstone, or Glacier for the free handouts.
-
that sucks. too many people, including some of those around here, think they should be feeding the bears.
The roblem is that a fed bear (trash bear) is as good as a dead bear sooner or later.
Pisses me off to have our officers put one down because some amazinhunk didn't follow the trash rules. A sad thing.

My spot is in blue...the Atlantic Ocean.
Everybody just stay the hell out of it.;)

Studies have shown that if you are attacked by a bear at night, especially if you are in your tent, the bear sees you only as prey.
-
sigh...
All the bass yesterday were short striking bastards. In 4 hours I had about 20 strikes and NO hooksets. Lost 3 or 4 worm tails. They were biting right up to the hook. Still a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work, even when it's Sunday :)
-
totally agree !
as you can tell from the pic.. had a good night.
that was the last one I caught last evening.
was a good night for largeish troutskis

"He was a cowboy, mister, and he loved the land. He loved it so much he made a woman out of dirt and married her. But when he kissed her, she disintegrated. Later, at the funeral, when the preacher said, "Dust to dust," some people laughed, and the cowboy shot them. At his hanging, he told the others, "I'll be waiting for you in heaven--with a gun.""

What is that from Thrawn?

lately there have been more problems with bear and cougar around here. mostly due to the new law (couple years old) that outlaws hunting them with dogs. since they aren't use to being chased through the woods by us with dogs we (and the dogs) are no longer preditors and eventually get thought of as prey.
I cant recal what town it is right now but on the news yesterday I heard about a family that woke up to find an adult male cougar sleeping under their tomato plants in the back yard. I guess somebody has a nice new rug.
and before people get all upset about 'destroying that beautyfull animal':rolleyes: take a small child with you to the zoo and hang out in front of the cougar cage. that cat looks at the kid as nothing but lunch.

They are both "Deep Thoughts, By Jack Handy"
"Contrary to what most people say, the most dangerous animal in the world is not the lion or the tiger or even the elephant. It's a shark riding on an elephant's back, just trampling and eating everything they see."

I've been just about pissing myself laughing all day. It makes it really difficult answering the phone. :D

"If I lived back in the wild west days, instead of carrying a six-gun in my holster, I'd carry a soldering iron. That way, if some smart-aleck cowboy said something like "Hey, look. He's carrying a soldering iron!" and started laughing, and everybody else started laughing, I could just say, "That's right, it's a soldering iron. The soldering iron of justice." Then everybody would get real quiet and ashamed, because they had made fun of the soldering iron of justice, and I could probably hit them up for a free drink."
I really spit coffee on this one.

"I wouldn't be surprised if someday some fishermen caught a big shark and cut it open, and there inside was a whole person. Then they cut the person open, and in him is a little baby shark. And in the baby shark there isn't a person, because it would be too small. But there's a little doll or something, like a Johnny Combat little toy guy---something like that. "

LOL Curval, you lucky guy. Your own island. I bet if you pull out some string, you can run it across the beach and measure the entire place.
:D

If there's anything that Animal has learned from experience... its to do it in that order.
Bear: Animal, admit it... you're not here for the fishing.
Animal: Mmmph.

If animal says iz ok to eat the bear, then I think its ok to eat bears.
:D

only in america would a boy scout be so stupid as to keep some food by him while he slept outdoors. bears dont blatantly attack people they do it either because you pissed them off or your sleeping with food by you. black bears can be scared off tho.
