My grandfather tells a story of living in northern NM near CO. One evening as the family was gathered for supper in their little farm house they heard shrieking of some animal they couldn't identify. A bit later something came up on the porch and was hitting the front door hard enough to shake the house. My grandpa and his father jumped up and ran out the back around the house, both on the opposite side. As he came around and could see the porch and heard his dad holler and point a shotgun at it, he saw a huge black animal roll its shoulder up against the door, turn, and bound off the porch and spring off into the darkness on two legs. He told that story from that day forward until he was an old man. Scared me to death as a kid.
Had to be a big old bear!
