Well, what the heck...
Bears have fur... :)
Follow-up question: What calls do people like?
I've never tried calling a bear before.
Read that some folks like the Primos Cow Girl.
I'm *GUESSING* that any decent cow call would be ok.
Did search for this and didn't find it, so here's a question for folks:
Does anyone have experience using an electronic predator call for bears?
I see plenty of utube vids with hand-held calls. Haven't found any with the electronic ones.
Are they worth the money?
Thanks.

Hi All,
Anyone ever hunt CO unit 22 for bear?
I drew a cow muzzy tag and it looks like the success rate is decent (for elk).
But what I really want is a bear, so I grabbed a bear tag as well.
I’ve never been there, but it looks interesting.
Anyone been there for bear?
Seems like a lot of...
Hey All,
Does anyone have any experience around Matheson reservoir in CO GMU 18?
I’m thinking about picking up a leftover cow tag for first rifle, and I have been looking at this area for a couple of years, just haven’t had the opportunity to get up there. There is private land around the res...
Well, didn’t get a bear. Turns out the area I had picked out in my escouting wasn’t exactly Bear Mecca. Found this out on the third day. I did talk to a guy the last day who hunts the area a lot and he gave me some great pointers, which was pretty cool. So, some good exercise, great pics...
Thanks for the responses.
I must have read wrong; I thought there wasn’t a lot of oak brush around the Steamboat area.
That was just based off of distribution maps I saw online. Now I know to expect to see some.
Nothing beats on-the-ground intel.
Flatlandhunter, I had a similar experience a few...
Well, it’s that time again: bear hunting. I’ve had a tag for the last three years and have not been able to go, mostly due to work. Not this year: I have my tag and I’m going. I’ve been doing my homework to narrow down my hunt area, but being a rookie bear hunter, I will take any tips I can...
Hi, and thanks for the offer.
The bear tag I have is for a really large area, so any pointers you can give would be much appreciated.
I have 4 days to hunt, so I want to do a lot of e-scouting, but I want to do it intelligently.
Thanks.

Thanks wllm1313.
Turns out I did not get the buck tag, so now I’m just looking for bear.
Any pointers on where to scout would be great.
Maytag encompasses several units, so I would like to narrow it down if I could.

Hey All,
I drew a bear tag for GMU 41/42/52 for the Sept season. I'm hoping to pick up a leftover muley buck tag for the same areas tomorrow when the tags become available.
The muley tag would be for the muzzleloader season, which happens during the bear season, so I would be able to hunt with...
Ahhhhh.... Fond memories. Took my first deer there when I was 14 or 15.
Can't help you now, as that was, well, more than a few years ago. Okay, a few decades ago.
At the time there were deer all over.
Wish you well!
