Bear Hunting Story Is Related
(Editor’s note: Following is
tie last installment written by
lobart Wiseman, employee at
be base, of his bear hunting ex
ieriences during the time he for
merly taught school at Afognak.)
In the early Spring of the year
ollowing a trip I made Outside,
be cattle came bellowing and
oaring to the village, a sure sign
bat the bear were out and had
riven them home from their
seding grounds 15 miles up the
bxaits. The cattle go up the
traits and live comfortably all
winter on the tall grass without
ny extra food, but when attack
ed by the bear in the Spring they
urry home for protection.
My guns were in readiness,
oth the 348 and the 30-40, and
13' hunting knife was narrow
nd thin from the constant sharp
ning, whether dull or not. The
ist of April I secured Dennis
Soskoffsky with his dory and
icker (outboard motor) and we
lanned a bear hunt in Onion
80 named for the wild
nions that grow there in abun
ance.
We had no luck at Onion bay,
o we went from there to the
’ort Bailey cannery, where we
mund one of the cannery tenders
ras going to Viekoda bay to get
scow load of gravel. We decid
d to go along, so with the scow
nd our dory in tow we started
ut. We arrived about noon at
tie bay, and a/ter lunch on t'fTe
ender we got in our dory and
made the run over to Baumann’s
gold mine. Baumann, a real
sourdough of 40 years residence
since coming from Minnesota
said we would be able to get a
bear at the head of Terror bay,
and offered to send .Bill, his 16
year-old son, with us. We three
started out, and as the dory part
ed the placid waters evening
shadows were cast here and there
across the narrow bay. It was
the ideal time of day for the big,
brown, furry animal to arouse
himself, walk a short distance
and skeptically look in all direc
tions before entering his feeding
grounds, where his repast would
be new grass, fresh and green
from the melted snow, or a feed
of jumping jacks a small shrimp
looking beetle found under the
rocks along the beach.
We were scanning the glades
