This time in Colorado near Boulder camp counselor was grabbed by the head and dragged about 12 feet until he fought loose and other came to his aid and chased the bear off.

Sleeping under the stars is one of the common factors in some predatory black bear attacks.

This happened less than two miles from my home in an area I have often hunted Elk. I have both an Elk and a Bear tag this year. We need a few less bears locally.

You definitely need one less, anyway.

That one is now gone. Fresh paw prints on my truck this morning though......

We have a big male black bear that hangs around in Spring and Fall. I live in the Broadmoor Bluffs area part of Colorado Springs. He stood up and chuffed at my son a few years ago, must've surprised him, otherwise he just eats all the apples off of my tree every year. We have more lions than bears though. They are not a worry at least to me. The bear is a bit more so.
