When deer hunting in the western slopes of Colorado, I was aware there were bears there. In addition to my 30-30 M1894 SRC or M1892 44-40, I carried a 8 3/8″ M29 S&W loaded with full power loads. One cannot be too careful when bears are involved. All the years hunting there, I never saw one. Just tracks. Father in Law was too paranoid I guess.   Big Larry

  

That there is an amazingly pleasant sentence to read.

Carrying a Winchester ’94 or ’92… hunting deer on the western slopes of Colorado… with bear sign about…   

That is living plenty large!  I envy the memories.

  

Family friends that lived in Montrose, owned 2500 acres up on the mountain top. The land was homesteaded many years back. Prime hunting land until oil shale was found on the land and it was sold. We never were able to hunt there again.  Big Larry
