Encountering a Cinnamon Bear in Colorado's Backcountry: A Thrilling Day 3 Adventure

I sure hope that bear makes another appearance in this saga! Awesome, man!

What an awesome account!!!

@Derek when you can hear their teeth popping, you’re close! Wyatt’s “uh oh” was hilariously calm. 🤣

@Wes thanks man, it was an awesome experience during an awesome day!

Dumb bears can't see very well and just needed to see up closer Lol

Pst...Mike, he's a beautiful bear and I love the photos. Without a doubt you would have been able to place a perfect shot, had he charged you.

@Lisa true story, haha. He literally looked like Mr. Magoo when he stood there looking our way trying to figure out what and where we were. I told Wyatt it’s a good thing they can’t see squat or it might have got more interesting quickly. He was bluffing because he had no idea🤣

They are so stupid....BUT, with that said, I would have been hiding behind you or anyone that held the gun!🤣

@Lisa haha. It was a great experience with the kid though. He’ll never forget the encounter.

That’s a little to close for me😬 did Wyatt sleep with one eye open that night😁

What an intense encounter! Haven’t even heard the entire story but I suspect this trip will be one you two never forget! 👊👍

@Robert both, haha. One from excitement and one watching our backs🤣

@Mason I’ll wrap up the rest today hopefully. Every single day brought a lifelong memory, couldn’t have asked for a better trip.!

It's still a mind f for me seeing black bears that color.

@Adam I’ve actually seen more cinnamon than black out west. And most are even deeper than this guy is. A blonde was my favorite.

We have a ton of bears down here in Florida but no color phase ones. That’s a pretty bear. Be even prettier with the rug on my floor.

See, he realised as he got closer he was F'ing with the Thors.
Clever bear.
It was nearly hammer time

😆

That must have been an absolute blast man.
What a memory to have from trip

@Mike he would’ve been a great one to rug out

@Ferg 🤣🤣. It was definitely a great day

@Mike great stuff man

What an experience!! Thanks for sharing it with us.

@Eric thanks man. Many moments from this trip are burned into phenomenal memories!👊

That'll get your attention. Only bear we saw in CO was standing on its hind legs between out tents in the dark when we came back from eating supper a few hundred yards away 🤦

@Appalachian I really wish this area would’ve stayed quiet. Putting Wyatt in this bear would’ve been the highlight of my hunting career. I’ve seen bear every time I’ve hunted Colorado except for one.

@Mike I bet, I'm sure it's more rewarding to watch him hunt than it is yourself. Don't want my boy to grow up too fast but can't wait to get him in the woods.

@Appalachian absolutely. He’s sitting on 12 deer points d 12 elk points so I can’t wait to go out with him when it’s his tag.

@Mike Good luck!
