He stood still and I fired again, he then 
took a few steps forward and stopped 
and again I shot, once more he took a 
few steps forward and turned his head 
back over his shoulder and I took an- 
other good aim and fired. He ran off 
in the timber, I got my horse and tried 
to run onto him in the scattered tim- 
ber, but never saw him any more. In 
looking at my gun that Billie and I 
had sighted up before leaving the 
Ranch I found the rear sight raised 
two notches, so had over shot him each 
time and could not see the bullet 
strike. Of course, most of us hunters 
have an alibi, so this is mine. 
HE next day Bruce and I went over 
the same way and towards even- 
ing while riding along up the creek on 
the opposite side we spotted a large 
brown bear, on the open hillside, who 
had just come out of the timber to feed. 
Being evening the wind was in our 
favor, and having a draw opposite 
where the bear was, we rode as fast as 
we could over the rough country and 
steep mountain and after getting op- 
posite the bear we tied up and stalked 
up hill. After reaching the ridge we 
saw the bear still feeding where we 
had first seen him, so getting within 
60 yards of him, Bruce shot him in the 
shoulder, he fell over, crawled towards 
us and it looked like Bruce got a little 
excited as he shot a few more times 
as the bear rolled down the hill. I 
went back to get the horses for skin- 
ning knives and Bruce went on down 
the hill. I circled around up the other 
draw to where the bear was, he was 
dragging and walking along, trying to 
get away. Bruce yelled at me what to 
do. I told him to shoot and after a 
few shots he stopped the bear. 
The next day Curt, Bruce and I took 
a pack horse and went after the hide. 
We packed up our outfit and the next 
day reached Billie’s place. It was a 
wonderful outdoor spring trip with 
something interesting all the time. We 
had fair luck on bear, with plenty of 
hard luck when it came to shooting. 
We had seen fourteen bear and had let 
five out of eight shot at get away. 
The actual time hunting was probably 
two weeks, the actual time from leaving 
Stilsons the first trip to the end of the 
last trip was 22 days, some of this 
time moving, much of the time in
