Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

I had to drop some stuff off in Boulder today, and decided to take an early hike before my errands. I chose the Gregory Canyon Trailhead which is near the Chautauqua trail systems. Anyways pretty uneventful little hike. Near the end of the trail where it turns into Ranger trail, I smelled something terrible and obviously dead. I figured a deer because the smell was so strong. I turned back when the trail became Ranger trail because I had to leave soon. I look to my right and think I see the source of the smell about 50ft from the trail. Freya started pulling really hard when we went to investigate, I knew we were close. Then there it was... a bear cub, maybe about 75lbs. I took a picture to show the park rangers when I got back. I had a friend with me on this hike as well. We ruled out the possibility of a Mtn. Lion kill because it looked clean of wounds and relatively fresh, big cats don't just leave their kills out in the open like that to decompose, I'm guessing it must have been sickness. When we got back to the car luckily there were two Rangers already there about to head out on a different trail. I told them of the situation and they believe my assumptions of it being sick were probably correct. They said if it turns out to be a Mtn. Lion kill they will just move the body far from the trail, and if it was something else tests are going to be done to determine the cause.  I wish I could know how the poor animal died and hope it wasn't a new disease or something. If I didn't have Freya I would have gone back to help the rangers, but it was starting to break into the 70's by that time. I kind of want to call the station in a few days to see if they know the cause of death.
