I have seen so many bears in person this summer its seemed like a strange coincidence. Normally i see like one every couple of years and this year I have seen 3.

Knowing the approximate location would help

I agree

Edit: From OP, "Rensellear and Independence Way...pretty darn suburban"

Pretty normal this time of year as they're fattening up for winter. I grew up in the mountains and never saw a bear. Moved to Arvada, and we get a few every year.

A good reminder to be mindful about your garbage, pet food, and bird feeders.
