But not in the numbers that are today.
Well....Are there more bowhunters, and people in Colorado, today? Hell, if I could afford it, I’d be there. Cover your scent with elk urine, move stealthily through the woods in proximity to elk, and blow a cow call, and you WILL see bears. Some you get close to, some come looking for you, with a meal in mind. Would fewer bears be better? Probably. Not sure about COs bear hunting regs.
