The man up the creek had the nerve to pretend that his favorite pastime was fighting Grizzlies with a butcher knife, and anybody acquainted with bears ought to size up that sort of a man easy enough, said Old Bill. The man up the creek, the original locator of the denful of Grizzlies, had his opinion of Old Bill as a slayer of bears.
There are numerous bears of three if not four varieties in the Rocky Mountains, and these are frequently termed grizzlies, as a misnomer; but the true grizzly is far superior in size, although similar in habits, and his weight varies from 1200 to 1400 lbs. Mr.
Here she looked uneasily at the other players. The man who stole the ace translated it at once, and said: "We'll git out ef yer say so, mum; but yer needn't be afraid to say ennything before us. We know a lady when we see her, an' mebbe some on us ken give yer a lift; if we can't, I've only got to say thet ef yer let out enny secrets, grizzlies couldn't tear 'em out uv enny man in this crowd.
The City of Denver sent a representative to see me, for they wanted some grizzlies to show eastern tourists. It was with the feeling that I was betraying the cubs, however, that I finally took them to Denver. They were so obedient and well-behaved that I hesitated to deliver them into unknown hands. They knew their names, Johnny and Jenny, as well as children knew theirs.
Being asked if he thought they could do it, he replied that he reckoned they could, but would be smashed if they did. Being interrogated on the subject of grizzly bears, he replied that there were grizzlies hereabouts, but that he never hunted them: he had no use for grizzlies. In a couple of hours Levell returned, having fished the stream for a mile or more: he had got about twenty small trout.
Then I remembered that grizzlies, despite their huge bulk and ferocious tempers, are curiously alarmed by noise. I had even heard that they had been driven off, with their tails between their legs, by the mere beating of a tin can.
Britch-loaders hadn't been in so durn long, and men didn't go huntin' grizzlies with the little old pea rifle just for fun. They was range bosses, and they knowed it. Now it's only once in a while you'll find one that wants all the trail." In the afternoon they came to an abandoned cabin, and dismounted to investigate. Casey shook his head at the filthy litter. "Nobody's been here," said he.
I hain't had a chance to chase lions an' tigers; but I've shot grizzlies over in Canada, and that's scarey work, you better b'lieve! and I tell you there's no sport that'll bring out the grit and ingenuity that's in a man like moose-hunting. Now, boys, ask me any questions you like, an' I'll try to answer 'em." "You said something to-day about moose 'crunching twigs," began Neal eagerly.
In those countries, the grizzly species will hold forth long after all killable grizzlies have vanished from the United States. I think that it is now time for California, Montana, Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Wyoming to give grizzly bears protection of some sort. Possibly the situation in those states calls for a five-year close season.
"Twenty-odd grizzlies I have killed or helped kill," said Alex. "We rarely hunt them alone. Of black bear I don't know how many we don't count them at all, there are so many of them in this country. But now I suppose pretty soon we will have to go over on the Hay River, or the Liard, farther north, to get good hunting.
