Polar Bear Baggers
Find Arctic More
Thrilling Than Africa
Ned Payne and Vernon Wesby
of Chicago, with a background of
big game hunting in Africa,
passed through Nome from Kot
zebue, thrilled with the 11-foot
polar bear they caught at Cape
Thompson.
Also with them was Martin Mc
Gowan of Downes Grove, 111.,
who brought back a 10 Vis-foot
bear taught in the same locality.
Payne said, “There is some
thing about coming so far north
and getting a polar bear that far
surpasses all African game hunt
ing. Maybe it’s the weather; may
be it’s because you’re on your
own—just you and the bear.”
They were with Leon Shellon
barger of Anchorage and they
plan to come again. While in An
chorage they hope to arrange for
a brown bear hunt.
