RE: Grizzly bear? Elk hunt in CO.. Help keep me alive
In hunting, as in all things, common sense should prevail.
Is there any real reason to be concerned about a grizzly bear attack in Colorado? No
Should you be aware of black bears in Colorado and take appropriate precautions? Of course.
Several hundred thousand people hunted and fished in Colorado last year. If I recall correctly, there was only one human attack last year in Colorado, many years there are none. I believe that the attack was on a nonhunter. How many hundreds of thousands of nonhunters, hikers, etc roam the Colorado woods each year? Not sure, but it is more than the number of hunters.
So, to answer your original question: Yes, you should take prudent bear precautions (have some sort of protection such as pepper spray, sidearm, etc) if it makes you feel more secure. And yes, you should store food in a non-bear accessable place other than your tent.
However, I don't live my life in fear. Who here is going to cancel your hunting trip because you are scared of the drive to Colorado? I guarantee you that the drive there and back is more dangerous than a possible bear attack. That is a fact.
