[QUOTE="Verdigris, post: 1533391, member: 12076"] My most humble apologies Yukon. I missed the part where a little levity and personality was disallowed from posting in the forums. Perhaps if I had prefaced my bit of wit with the information that I received that piece of sage advice from a man who, at the time, was worried about being handed his steaming entrails by polar bears it would have made my comment more acceptable? (True story. They came to that conclusion after watching a polar bear one-arm a full grown walrus up out of the water and down onto the ice.) Honestly, if there's no room for a single line of humor, there's a problem. So long as it's not violating the stated rules of the forums, I'll enjoy my 1A rights while discussing our 2A rights, TYVM. Now if it will vindicate you any, to the OP: I lived for several years in CO and spent quite a few summers up in the CO Rockies when I was younger. Never saw a bear. Food there is plentiful for them generally speaking (Wild food, not hikers. ;) ) and they're very likely to leave you alone. Make reasonable noise while hiking. If you're camping, keep the food outside of your camp, don't keep your trash in camp. Unless you decide to try and sneak up on one, you shouldn't have a problem. Oh yeah! Don't forget to file your front sight off... [/QUOTE]
