Hey, ya know, people gonna talk shit, i knew that while writing the post. But if I saved someone from being mauled, (tho i will never know) then its worth the mindless bashing.

Thanks for correcting me tho that it was likely a black bear in brown fur.

It's all good. The bears often make their way up the water ways and open spaces. It's not unusual to see them in that area. They are all over the Broadmoor, OCC and Manitou as well.

Generally speaking they are very skittish and avoid confrontation. The exception would be a mom + cubs. But even then I don't think anyone's been actually hurt by a bear here in a long time.
