THE GRIZZLIES OF THE 
ATHABASKA 
. {^Continued from page 343) 
range. The brute saw me at the same 
time and before I could get a line on 
him he was out of sight in the thick 
brush. He was a beauty and I deter- 
mined to make a special effort to get 
him. There was no use in setting dead- 
falls, as the animals would simply go 
somewhere else. The third day I made 
a remarkable shot from the top of a high 
bare hill and knocked down what I 
thought was a black bear of good size. 
This one was struck in the hind leg and 
bled considerably ; I read the signs where 
he crossed a soft, muddy slope. After 
trailing him for about a mile I caught 
up with him as he was climbing a steep 
hill and put him out of misery. This 
one proved to be a very dark Silver-tip 
and even at a short range looked black. 
His belly was almost jet-black, and but 
for his claws and the shape of the hind 
parts I would harlly have known how to 
class him. 
But a short time ago, while reading 
an advertisement of one of our most 
popular makes of firearms, I came across 
the expression, “ten-inch hooked chisels 
of claws,” in connection with a raging, 
charging grizzly. Now, whoever that 
ad writer was, he certainly didn't know 
much about grizzlies or he would never 
have impeded the poor brutes by handing 
them out ten-inch claws ! The longest 
grizzly claw I ever measured was a little 
short of four inches ; perhaps there are 
others longer — maybe it was a prehis- 
toric grizzly he was speaking of. 
"^HE actions of these bears puzzled 
■t me not a little that spring; indeed, 
the more I have to do with them, from 
year to year, the less I really know in 
connection wdth their habits and envi- 
ronment. One thing I am certain about 
is that the bears gathered around those 
carcasses in far greater numbers than 
they would have normally. For several 
days after I shot this one Silver-tip 
there didn’t seem to be a bear left in the 
country; by this time the carcasses were 
largely a mass of bones, for the wolves 
and foxes had already torn them to 
pieces considerably. I decided to camp 
there one more night and then beat it 
back to the Baptiste, my headquarters 
being a number of miles down-stream. 
.\s it didn’t grow dark till nearly ten 
o’clock I was out rather late each eve- 
ning in the hope of getting a shot. 
I had selected a sort of high knob for 
my lookout, from whence I could see 
quite a bit of the surrounding country, 
although by this time the willow, alder, 
birch and poplar was so heavily leafed 
as to make a hea\w cover for anything 
to roam about in. As I sat there, rather 
more on the north side of the knob. I 
heard a distinct padding of feet directly 
below me. strong, steady breeze was 
blowing from the west directly toward 
me. and if I ever reach Heaven I’ll 
swear I smelt that grizzly before I saw 
him. Some hunters say that a rifle hall 
will not do much harm to a grizzly’s 
skull, but the one that connected with 
that particular bear did. Outwardly
