Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Trapping "What's a fur bear?"

So I am at Sports Authority wanting to buy a $21 furbearer tag here in Colorado. The thoroughly tattoed gen x'er keeps asking me what a "Fur Bear" is and that all bear seasons are over. I said it really should be in the small game area versus big game and to please just ring it up. He kept muttering how he had never heard of a fur bear and after about 4 minutes of waiting I said, never mind I must be confused and left.

Cluelessness surrounds us. Actually have a deer tag and one of the state public area has signs posted saying trapping allowed. Thought I'd try to get a couple of coon skin donors for my reloading room.

The Sports Authority's hunting section here is in the same league as Walmart. I have not been in there for a couple of years.

While I probably would have been a little irritated, I would have explained what a fur bearer is.
