What a wasted opportunity. The family could have bagged a fresh deer and a fresh bear at the same time!

I used to live in the Springs and saw deer and bear in my back yard all the time. Would have to throw rocks at the dumpster to scare of the bears before they tipped it over and made a mess. Got chased a couple of times, but I did not go to far from the door.

Sooo ... I'm not the only one who, at first, didn't think the bear was 'mauling' the deer, right?

Not watching. Bears may be powerful predators, but it's well known to be a slow, agonizing way for anyone or anything to die.

I've heard that bears maul dears like that in prison. But, no, seriously, if you've hunted, the second you hear that scream, you know exactly what it is (and, most likely, that you've farked up and you're about to go on a 'I'm very sorry' run to kill the damned thing as quickly as you can, to end the suffering of your shiatty shot...)

There are only 2 kinds of people in life, Deers and Bears. Which one of the 2 do you want to be?

That didn't seem like a particularly large bear.  I mean, I guess it was big/strong enough to kill the deer; but I'd expect something larger to go after deer.  I don't know.  *shrug*

I had a chase a bear out of under my deck a few years back. I still have a pic somewhere. I see them constantly but am right next to garden of the gods where they live. We had a new neighbor move in and was upset that the city wouldn't "clean up" a mountain lion kill in a nearby field. They don't seem to get that nature is going to take care of that, as it should.

I've also had a bobcat wander directly behind me while doing yard work and

CSB: My parents decided our little house in the city sucked and bought a great big house in the woods, just as my brother and I were getting ready to go to college.

I woke up in the middle of the night to my dad pacing up and down the hall with the cordless phone.

"What's going on, dad?"

"Some drunken asshole is in our backyard saying, 'Who' and I'm thinking about calling the police."

Then I heard it too.

"Dad... that's an owl."

sucks because one would want to put the deer out of its misery quickly, but the shot would scare off the bear....and then you've just wasted a deer for no reason.

all the nature docs use a nice soothing voiceover instead of what nature actually sounds like.

My BIL bought a house next to the forest preserves in suburban Cook County, IL. They regularly saw deer walking through their backyard. One winter morning my SIL heard her 6 year old daughter say, "Mommy, those dogs are being mean to the deer." It was a pack of coyote chasing and attacking a doe. There was blood and guts all across the snow. My nieces were horrified. My 8 year old nephew, on the other hand...

We are pretty much just sprawl, but population wise COS (and El Paso County) is really no slouch. what are we up to, 600,000+ now?

In any case, I wonder when this happened because looking at the article, there hasn't been anywhere around here that damn green for a couple months.

We are detached and removed from nature. Most of humanity knows how to exploit nature and very few have any respect or know how to protect it.  It is a loss to nature and humanity.  Without nature thriving we are nothing.  Nature can be cruel.  For several years I had rabbits coming during winter to graze in the vegetable garden.  We loved seeing them and then a hawk showed up.  Now there are no bunnies.  Even in the summer a raptor would show up and land on my laundry line, looking around and few minutes later take off.  My cat unfortunately would bring birds to the door as a gift I presume.  Next cat I get will be indoor kitty.

Jesus, the sound that deer is making.  I know it is just the course of nature and all of that.  But if it was happening in my back yard, and I heard that deer making that noise, I would intervene.  I wouldn't just sit there filming it.
