of a yellowish animal jumping nimbly
through the brush he thought that it must
be a deer. He had only taken a few cautious

his head up looking over a big album
only a few yards away. The bear had
evidently got wind of the hunter from
behind and had rushed on down past
the trail. A hasty shot went high
and hit the bear to far up in the
head to kill him. As the bear turned
Hasselborg got in a good shot in the

trail thru the brush but slowly and
was surprised when he came out in a
small opening to be charged upon by
a smaller bear which came straight for
him with intentions that could not be
well misunderstood. The first shot
struck her in the throat and must
have gone on down through her vitals
but it took 2 more shots to lay her
out. 4. Took the skull feet air.
