Having hunted CO since a 1974, I have seen three bears and a few tracks over several different Big Game Units. I know there are few more out there, but firmly believe this is a new tactic of CPW to convince hunters to buy more bear tags to get more revenue. We all know that in many areas, elk herd numbers are down, yet CPW still holds on to the280,00+ elk numbers. To say there are less,would mean hunters would look elsewhere and they would have a revenue shortfall.Same thing with bears


If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles
