"We do...ostensibly for bears and cougars, but we all know the predators come in both 2- and 4-legged varieties."

Bye the way.. one late afternoon I was in Carr canyon hiking the falls when I started following some couger tracks....as evening approached and I headed back it became apparent that the cougar had circled back and was following me! LOL!

Oh my gosh! A young family had a similar experience last year, except the Dad actually saw the cat keeping pace with him for about 30 yards.

The restraint you're talking about is in the Montezuma Pass National Memorial. No weapons allowed, it's been that way for the last 15 years I've been here. They busted a couple of the ABP members who tried to enter the Park armed.

But, that's a small portion of the mountain range, and the rest is National Forest...wide open, especially if you're carrying a hunting license and lion tag!

(Off to lunch, back later)

We had one that followed along seeming to enjoy pacing our dirtbikes. Never threatened but scared heck out of the first one to see him/her.
