Grizzly Bear Mauls Man in Colorado
Hunting and Outdoor adventure stories! This one is from "The greatest Hunting Stories Ever Told" edited by Vin T. Sparano
When was the last time a grizzly bear was seen in the state?
Grizzly bears are brown bears, and so we do not consider or believe that there are any real brown bears living in the state. ( Colorado )
We actually declared the grizzly to likely be extirpated, which means no longer living in the state, in the early 1950s.
But in 1979 there was actually an incident where an elk hunter was out on the trails out in the woods looking for his elk, and he was attacked by what was later proven to be a grizzly bear. So the last known grizzly bear in Colorado was 1979, and his remains are actually at the History Colorado museum.

I was a camp host at Big Meadows Reservoir in 2017, lots of Moose reports. Live in Blanca. I got some good story of a unrecognised discovery down this way.
Due to the Arctic wolves release in Yellowstone the wolves are spreading out like the cancer they are. Competing with the bears food supply so theyre spreading out too. New Mexico is having grizzly sightings. Had to go through Colorado to get to New Mexico. Add, theyre Montana/ Idaho grizzlies, noted for their ferocity. For the " so called" outfitter. No gun in bear country = 0 I.Q. Any fool knows you ALWAYS carry a backup handgun in bear country. Stupid hurts & complacency kills. Add, blackies have short, hook shaped claws & rounder prints. Grizzlies have long straighter claws & more squareish prints. Both are mankillers w blackies being the worst. Natural maneaters once big enough. Bears are always armed, people should be too. Just common sence.
Thanks for sharing your story 👍👍
Hey from Alaska and big respect. You’re very lucky. What a story of survival!
I was in Alamosa ER 3 days ago, what I thought was kidney pain low left back ribs turned out was spinal issue. I have a toe bone from a Colorado Grizzly reportedly killed by Jim Bridger near Blackhawk. I've been attack by a falcon when I stopped on Silver Creek trail switchback near Mt Yale to catch my breath. Pack and leather at protected me.
We are not supposed to have grizzle’s in Colorado.
Steven, wow! What a story! My nightmare.. bears are no joke. It's amazing that Ed survived. Sorry about some of the negativity in the comments earlier... people... SMH. P.S. had to call you Steven one final time before I call you Spencer for evermore. Have a good weekend buddy!
This real life story takes place in 1979 and supposedly was the last grizzly in Colorado. Another good read is Old Mose, a grizz from the Hartzel Colorado area who killed man and beast. Do grizz exist now? We’ve personally seen a beautiful wolf in the St. Elmo area about 10 years ago in the late fall. We all lived in Alaska so know for a fact it was one.
We haven't had a grizzly in Colorado for a hundred and 5 years.....

I here ya
Are these grizzly encounter stories real?
Thank you! This guy is full of shit
Yes, they are. Here on the Moose whisperer we only tell real stories. Slightly embellished? Maybe? But no BS always real. Thanks for watching.
Well told, Spence!
Thanks Nathan, that means a lot coming from you a master storyteller. One of my next stories involves me, you and a half blind mule deer. Stay tuned.
@@TheMooseWhisperer-lp5qh I remember that hunt very well my friend!
Oh by the way your video was grrrrrrreat!!!!!!!!!
I was living in Colorado when this happened. As an avid outdoor enthusiast at the age of 13, i was intrigued by the fact of having Grizzlies in Southern Colorado. I was also a fan of Jim Zumbos. While this flipped biologists heads in turmoil, forensics came out and proved that he sunk a long distant and then got charged. He had the strength to kill it by hand but ended up doing time over it. Thats what i heard.
Why do experts say there are no grizzlies in Colorado no more. Is it against bear laws for a grizzly to walk across the border from Wyoming. Heeheehee hahaha. There are grizzlies in Colorado!!!!!
sorry, I just cannot get beyond the absurdity of a man calling himself "The Moose Whisperer". I'll just move on, thanks anyway.
lol, it would help if you had listened to the story at least or watched one of my videos on how to call Moose. Oh, well, thanks for the comment. Hunting stories aren't for everyone.
@@TheMooseWhisperer-lp5qh, This wasn't a " Hunting story" it was a Stupid guide story. No backup handgun in bear country equals ZERO I.Q. Black bears are maneaters too, even more vicious & sneaky that a grizzly is. Add, Grizzlies have been sighted in Colorado for the last 10 years. Any real guide would know that. No pity for stupid. He had it coming. Add, its easy to tell black prints from grizzly prints. In todays information age theres no excuse for not knowing that. Mountain Lions too & now Arctic wolves have been released in Colorado. Guess the liberal bunnyhugger fools didnt learn anything from the Yellowstone disaster.
