Bosque de Oso down by Trinidad. They have a special hunt only on the SWA there. Highest bear density in the state. Takes a minimum of 9 points to pull the tag. I want to hunt that because I really want a cinnamon phase bear and most of them on that SWA are cinnamons. I already have a jet black bear and a chocolate phase on the wall and won't shoot another bear in CO unless it is blonde or cinnamon. Unfortunately blonde bear are pretty rare in CO. ID or AB, Canada are your best bets for the blonde phase.

My brother gas also been saving points for that hunt. He has 7 right now. As soon as he has the number of points to draw it, we'll do the hunt. I've been talking to the game warden that runs the SWA for several years and he has given me some very good advice and I contact him at least once a year for updates since there is some well drilling going on down there.
