I’ll be hunting them in Colorado in a few weeks.

How about some pics to get the blood flowing?

Ran into this bear in Colorado while archery hunting elk.

Here is another from Colorado when I had a bear archery tag.

Not Coloradoh butt

Not Colorado...butttt....

I googled bare girls in CO. Blood is flowing fine! Highly recommended.

No pics here, but good luck. My boys and I are headed up there 2 weeks from today. I got them both archery bear tags and will get them archery elk once we get up there. Great thing about them both being youth is the elk tag is still fairly cheap and they lowered the bear tag cost this year too. This will also be the first time in 16 years that I haven't hunted while up there. My dad and I will just be guiding them.

Good luck blue!

Colorado is trying to sell a lot of bear tags. Some units do have some bears, but in 40+ years of hunting in Colorado ,never missing an elk season , rifle and muzzle loader, I have seen a total of 3 bears. Can't hunt in the spring now, can't bait, can't run them with dogs. I think their idea is to sell them the same as the required small game license.The more license they sell, the more P&R funds they are eligible for. Just because CPW wants to sell a lot of bear tags, doesn't necessarily mean there are an abundance of bears unless maybe you hunt in Aspen, Vail, west side of Colorado Springs and a few other mountain towns that bears have found easy food pickings

I saw 3 bears last year in Co. There are a TON of bears around. Just have to know how to find them.

I killed this one last year in Utah on a mountain I've literally witnessed HUNDREDS of bears on.



They can be a tricky critter but don't get discouraged. Buy the 2nd tag they'll sell you and kill all you can.

Good luck,

Friendly bear, just wanted to eat the fresh green grass:


Ya, this fellow and I didn't trust each other. Came across the bear while hiking...


Mighty fine sausage from this one:


Fair sized Washington bear taken by my son:


Best of luck on your Colorado hunt!

Some nice bears. Thanks for the photos.

You want flowing juices? game cam from a guy i know.

Had my hands on a bear that went just a couple pounds shy of 600 in Colorado on Saturday. I always subtract 100 when any hunter mentions a weight guesstimate and refused to go over 450 myself when the guessing games began, even though I knew this thing was a beast, but I didn’t want to succumb to the excitement by resorting to hunter guesses. We did actually weigh him on real scales. Got himself in trouble in a farmers corn field after about 15 years of staying out of sight of guns. Blind in one eye and some busted teeth.
Like a beached whale with extra fuzz, 3 inches of back fat above the straps.

That is a rare sized bear in Colorado for sure.Of course it isn't true without photos.

Oh I have photos including pics of him on the scale

Be sure and hold out for a big one .......

Is this your bare girls?

I got it. I didn't add the CO to the bare girls.

Sorry, I put up the wrong link.

Too many bears here. Lions too. I live a mile from the recent attacks in Colorado. Back when we had spring bear with baiting allowed, there was not anywhere near the numbers we have now. The joke is people are getting Liophobia and Bearanoia.

We have a few bears in Louisiana, but not many. I've seen most every critter that walks in the woods down here, but I've never seen a bear. I don't want to shoot one, just to see one and maybe get a pic would be great.

Bluedreaux, be careful and good luck on the hunt.

We are getting a few here, too. Used to only see a couple a year, last deer season I saw three in one week. More coyotes, also, shot 5 of them.

That was a pure waste of my time. LOL

Darned good spot and stalk bear hunt here in Washington. All three were taken within 24 hours, two within 5 minutes of each other and all within a half mile radius. Black one was a sow, and a bit smaller. The two brown ones were close to the same, their skulls measured the same, one was a tad under 6' the other a couple inches over 6'. It was one heck of a hunt!

Well done!

I had the desire to get a bear for over 20 years from when I first started bowhunting, until I finally got an opportunity 2 years ago, unexpectedly. When I got my rug back I was very happy and did a quick video of the rug and describing the hunt.

Update, Blue?
