Re: NNG Watch Out For Bears

Down here in Australia we don't have big furry animals that can kill you of any kind (swimming is totally different game), so I was intrigued by your bears on my first trip to the States, and disappointed I didn't get to see one in the wild! But also not wishing for a close encounter.
We stayed with some friends just out of Ridgway, with scrub land right next door, but alas, no bears, although they weren't uncommon by accounts. We had I got home when Greg emailed a message that his son in law had to shoot a bear, I asked 'where' out of curiosity, expecting a 'out in the country' type reply, I wasn't expecting it when he said 'thru the back door'.
You can keep your bears!
