Big bull is on my bucket list, think I’m going to have to get archery tackle or get real lucky in the tag draw to make that happen on public land. Best I’ve gotten is a 180 gross mule deer on public land. Lot of big elk here in the Bighorns and very few grizzlies.

Drove by this place in early October as he was repainting it.

Who said I was hunting bear. A few years back I was hunting elk in the flat tops by Eagle, Co. Bear follows the 3 S rule if they bug me....Shoot, Shovel and Shut Up.

Years ago some of the local hunters in Utah were blaming the low deer numbers on the cougars. One local told me if you see a cougar shot it, walk away, don’t even go look at it.

I get a bear license every other year. The two times I would have had an excellent shot, it was either the day before the season started, or I didn't have a tag. Black bears around here are pretty shy. I've had one come in on my position during archery elk season. I watched him walk straight up to me, stop about 30 yards away where he finally got a sniff of me, and turned and sauntered away. I was on a tall-ish rock and didn't feel threatened enough to have my pistol in my hand yet. But it was ready to go in my thigh holster.
I've found a few very recent mountain lion tracks where I'm hunting. My preparedness/awareness level goes way up when that happens.
As far as actually firing at a mountain lion or bear, if I feel threatened, I will. CPW won't have a problem with it as long as I can justify it. I do carry bear spray, but I think I would likely pull my pistol before the spray. I'm more concerned about wolves than bear.

The geniuses in this state chose to reintroduce wolves... or more aptly, to introduce a non native species of wolf that is quite large and dangerous. Ranchers practicing the 3 S's... probably skipping the shovel part

It was such a dumb idea that it could only be passed using a state-wide vote. The folks in the front range thought it was a great idea. The folks in the western slope were the opposite. Of course, the introduction happens in the western slope and it doesn't affect all the namby pamby front range folks.
