[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3821380, member: 7900"] We used to camp in a national forest campground in Colorado that regularly had visits from bears, although not grizzly bears. We would go up in late August to take advantage of week's vacation in conjunction with the Labor Day weekend. When we would go up at that time, the only other "campers" in the campground would be hunters, and they would normally be further up in the mountains. When we arrived one year, we had been informed that the bear(s) had been visiting the campground. A couple of days later, we were visiting with one of the hunters, and he told us that he was leaving within the hour and the other hunter that was there was leaving that day as well. Since we didn't want to be the "designated hosts" for the bear(s), we went and found a cabin several miles away and just visited the campgrounds during the day. Cabins are much better than tents, and even in the cabin, we saw a bear making the rounds of the area checking trash receptacles. [/QUOTE]
