The Colorado Division of Wildlife has interactive maps on their website that can help you determine the bear population in the areas that you want to hunt.
If you can afford the tag I would get one. Better to have it and not need it then vice versa.
Also you may want to check with the regional office for DOW. There are some fires up around Rifle right now. It has been my expierience that the folks at the regional offices go out of their way to help hunters locate what they are hunting.
Also if you have a side arm (.40 or larger) carry it while you bow hunt. If not get a large canister of bear spray. The incidents of bear/cougar and human encounters seems to be increasing the last couple of years.
I have had 2 encouters with bears where I didn't have any permit, side arm or bear spray. My spray travels with whenever I head out the door now. Since I strarted carrying it I have not had an encounter. The stuff seams to be a repelant haha.
Good luck and check your 6 frequently.
