\\ ell, I have only seen one bear,
and I emptied my 101 at liiiu at a
half mile distance, with no effect.
Eakin however got closer to him. i
His 80:30 is in the trunk, so he has
been carrying my 38 Colt Automa-!
tic. The other day on the top of j
Baldy Mountain he laid his pack-
to one side and got down by a !
little pool to lap up "tundra juice" !
when he. raised up and there was a
big grizzley. It was about 100
yards off. so Ik.* looked for a place
to run. lie was in a small circle
however, and the bear in front of
of him. He then grabbed the 3S
out of the pack and cocked it.
When he went to aim he was sliak-
ing'so that be was afraid to shoot.
lb1 waited until the bear came up
in about twenty-five or thirty yards
. and then he began to talk to it.
The bear raised his head and stopp-
ed. Eakin says "Now take anoth-!
er step and I will blow your brains
all over the cabbage patch". The
bear stood for a few moments and
then walked leisurely away. Eakin
swears he was as big as a cow. He
almost prayed for my 401 he says,
