2 campers near Aspen bitten in tents
A third attack at a Forest Service campground closer to town last week didn't injure anyone but prompted restrictions on tents and extra warnings,[url=http://www.article-web.co.uk/category/hermes-wallet/]Hermes Wallet[/url].
Mike Porras of Colorado Parks and Wildlife says the first camper was attacked just before dawn Friday,[url=http://www.article-web.co.uk/category/discount-hermes-bags/]Discount Hermes Bags[/url], when a bear jumped on a tent containing three men near Crater Lake. One of the men was bitten on his left side but was not seriously hurt.
Porras said those men saw the bear,[url=http://www.article-web.co.uk/category/hermes-birkin-bag/]Hermes Birkin Bag[/url], which they estimated at about 100 pounds, raise up on is hind legs,[url=http://www.masterclass-detailing.co.uk/category/ralph-lauren-polo/]Ralph Lauren Polo[/url], then stomp the tent. The man it landed on lay still, but when he moved the bear bit him, causing small puncture wounds. Those campers started shouting and the bear ran off,[url=http://www.masterclass-detailing.co.uk/category/cheap-polo-shirts/]Cheap Polo Shirts[/url], Porras said. Saturday a few miles away at the Minnehaha Gulch campsite area above Crater Lake.
In that that case,[url=http://www.masterclass-detailing.co.uk/category/ralph-lauren-polo-outlet/]Ralph Lauren Polo Outlet[/url], a man alone in his tent was bitten on his right leg through the tent and a sleeping bag. He was camping with two other men in separate tents,[url=http://www.article-web.co.uk/category/hermes-online-sale/]Hermes Online sale[/url], who shouted and threw rocks at the bear without managing to scare it off. Porras said the bear let go but stayed nearby and ran off only after the campers lit a fire to scare it.
After getting the bear to run away, the two companions bandaged the injured man's leg and helped him down a trail to meet rescuers they had called. Porras said the injured man was hospitalized and needed surgery Saturday. A wildlife officer interviewed him and described his leg wounds as "substantial but not life threatening," Porras said. The injured man wasn't identified.
It is not known whether the same bear attacked both men. Porras says wildlife investigators are looking for the bear or bears,[url=http://www.article-web.co.uk/category/hermes-handbags/]Hermes Handbags[/url].
"Our intent is to find the bear that did this and put it down," Porras said.
Porras said that the first campers attacked properly stored their food 75 feet away from the tent and had nothing edible inside. The man who was more seriously injured told wildlife investigators that he had an empty food wrapper in his tent but no food.
The attacks happened within the Forest Service's Maroon Bells Snowmass Wilderness Area. A spokesman for the Forest Service,[url=http://www.article-web.co.uk/category/hermes-belts/]Hermes Belts[/url], Pat Thrasher, said the attacks happened not at formal campgrounds but at popular backcountry camping sites.
On Monday,[url=http://www.masterclass-detailing.co.uk/category/polo-outlet/]Polo Outlet[/url], a third bear attack happened a few miles away at the Difficult campground close to Aspen. In that case, campers saw a black bear attack an unoccupied tent and scared it away. After the sighting, the Forest Service put an indefinite ban on tents and soft sided campers at the Difficult campground, but did not close it.
Thrasher said there's no way of knowing whether the bear at the Difficult campground later bit a camper, but he said the Difficult campground is several miles and a mountain pass away from the attacks.
Thrasher said at least six employees of the Forest Service were walking through the Moroon Bells Snowmass Wilderness Area Saturday to tell hikers and campers about the attacks.
"At this time we are not contemplating a formal closure" of the area, Thrasher said Saturday afternoon.
Thrasher said hikers and campers are being given information about alternate camping areas if they choose to leave. Thrasher said there is plentiful natural food for bear in the area, but Forest Service employees are being frank that bear attacks remain a danger.
"Right now bears are in the process of bulking up for winter. They are on the move, and they are looking for food," Thrasher said.
