SIERRA VISTA — Huachuca Canyon, a popular location for hikers, runners and cyclists on Fort Huachcua, has been closed until further notice due to increased bear activity.
On Thursday, a bear followed and charged hikers in the canyon and later approached cyclists. That same day, a mountain lion was spotted in the canyon.

I hope those wild animals encounter an animal rights activist face to face.
This bear scene is from British Colombia. Outdoor ping.
(I know that there is no comparison between black bears and California brown bears, but...)

Already DECLARED NONEDIBLE & TOXIC by the post VETENARY OFFICER.
Back in 1982 I lived on Mizner Road and would go running up Huachuca Canyon Road for a couple of miles and then back down to my quarters. I was there for 6 months attending the military intelligence officer’s advance course. I haven’t been back there since that, but might visit again some day.
When stationed there we had a bear raid our trashcan, went on for a week or so.
We were there for a couple years. One of the best assignments we had in our 27 years.
Bear activity in FL (esp. Ocala Nat. Forest), around Orlando (Mt. Dora, Kissimmee and east) has been so bad that FL FWS has opened a bear season.
Thread hijack!

I’m dying! FOTFLOL!
I think that’s why its a wilderness area. There are wildlife in the area. :-)
Here in Washington state our environazis are so crazed that they are planting some more grizzlies in the North Cascades. They did that a few years ago, too.
I always wonder how they would feel if a friend or family was killed by a grizzly.
Grizzly is at the top of the food chain here in North America. I wonder if the leftists get that, or even understand what it means.
Nope
It makes sense to me-since wildlife is usually found in wilderness areas, you’d think people would leave off hiking and biking in early Spring until the bears have been awake for awhile-and are not so hungry that even a noisy bicyclist looks good to eat...
People on bicycles and hikers who run always look good to mountain lions-yum-it triggers a predator response like a deer does-don’t ride, don’t run...
[[Bear activity closes Huachuca Canyon on fort.]]
Crap, now I can ‘t tie liver to myself and hike the canyons like I normally do- now what am I going to do?
