A HUNTER'S CAMP-FIRES 



the bloody trail for three hours, lost it on account of the wounds 

 ceasing to bleed. 



In many parts of southern British Columbia there are local- 

 ities similar to the one described, where grizzlies are fairly 

 plentiful and will be so for many years, because it is almost 

 impossible to approach within rifle-range in the thick growth 

 that covers this kind of country. In this cafion I also saw 

 a large bull caribou and a few blacktail, among them two fine 

 bucks, but I was unable to find them in the brush. One of 

 my friends shot a two-year-old buck deer and a bull caribou 

 with a very fine head, carrying thirty- two points. They also 

 saw a number of grizzlies, but for reasons already indicated 

 only secured one female bear apiece. We had hoped for a 

 tracking-snow, but this did not come until we had exhausted 

 our provisions and were moving toward Shuswap Lake.
