Yesterday I was driving from Gunnison to Powderhorn at daylight and looking down the road I saw what I thought was a black angus cow running along a snow fence next to the road about 100 yds further up the road was a doe and fawn between the road and snow fence I slowed down and to my surprise it turned out it was not a cow but about a 400 lbs black bear just hauling a$$ down the fence towards the deer when I got along side of him I slowed down and he didn't even slow down just just jumped on the snow fence and climbed over it the deer ran across the highway to the other side and jumped the fence on that side and ran off out in the field.
Wish I could of gotten a video of this of all my years living in Colorado I have never seen a black bear that close to a highway
I think he was out looking for a snack before hibernation , if they are trying to take down fawns that are several months old what does that say about the survival of new born elk calf?s and fawns and moose calf?s. And the CPW can't figure this out BS they are supposed to manage our wildlife.
The CPW knows this is going on but just sits on their a$$ their answer is $100.00 bear tags for nonresidents BS don't address the problem just make more money off the problem
It's time we the sportsman put pressure on them to go back to being able to bait bears in the spring and hunt them with dogs. Maybe also get the cities that are now having major bear problems onboard also. This bear hunting change started years ago by pressure from a anti hunting group in Boulder and the CPW caved to the pressure of the group even though sportsman were outraged over it.
