[QUOTE="358norma, post: 1559696, member: 10178"] No griz in Colorado??? you have to go to Wyoming to get into griz country. I lived there for 5 years, traveled 250,000+ miles while there. Fished 2 or 3 days a week, spent I don't know how many days hunting and scouting, spent around 100 nights in the back country(mountians) in a tent, and I've seen 3 black bears in Colorado. There are more bears in the SW part of the state, and I spent most of my time in the northern half of the state. I would take a fly rod and an extra box of flies, not a gun. I worried a LOT more about mountain lions while I was there. You won't know they are around until he's hanging on your back. Just pay attention to what's going on around you. It is a good excuse to buy a new hand gun if you want to, buy something you can use here too. I was more inclined to carry a 22 to shoot grouse so we could eat mountain chicken while on a pack trip. My choice a S&W 2213, light weight "chicken" gun. [/QUOTE]
