OF lHuiahs III STl4LiAtb-tT"s hhu
Best Method of Tack
ling a Grizzly.
Come, my son, it is time you were get
ting ready for a campaign against the In
dams and grizzlies. You have been read
ing "Daring Dam IKE, the Indian
Slayer" Gus, the Grizzly Killer, " and
other exciting and truthful stories in
tended to make n boy dissatisfied with
humdrum life, and your mind is made up
to 20 west.
You must nave I'm outfit. One reason
why so many boy hunters make a failure
IS because they economic too much in
the outfit. Don't be stingy in buying guns.
1t will be all the better II you have q
Spencer carbine and a double barreled
shotgun TO go with your Winchester.
Suppose you came suddenly upon n band
Of eighteen Apache warriors. You could
only kill sixteen OF them with your Win
chester, and two would be left to ride Off
and alarm the tribe. By having some
extra guns along you are sure of the
whole crowd, aud the tribe won't get on
to yUu.
And don't scrimp on bowie knives. 1t
would be an almost fatal mistake to start
out with only two. Buy four, at least.
They are for use at close quarters witch
grizzlies of course one bowie is enough
TO kill one bear with, but you may be at
tucked by four bears at once, and four
knives would then be in demand. II you
don't get but three bowies make up the
deficiency with a Spanish stiletto or n
Moorish dagger. 1t will come handy, not
only in n close fight, but to pick your
teeth with mt the camp fire.
AND EGULA MoccAsINs.
AS for dress, get the fringed buckskin,
n coonskin cap and regular moccasins.
Such things as shirts, collars, cuffs or
handkerchief would be only waste lug
gage If you should appear in Miles City
with n collar on it would give you away
at once. Nobody would suspect that you
were the young terror from the east who
was aching for n chance 70 tie a knot in a
grizzly bears tail.
You should take Mt least 200 pounds OF
ammunition. You may be corraled some
where in the Rocky mountains by 400
fierce and determined Indians, and you
don't want to lose your scalp for the want
Of n few extra cartridges. All the pro
visions needed is II sack Of jerked buffalo
meat. 1t doesn't make the least bit of
difference whether the buffalo was jerked
of his feet, over n prcCipice, or head over
heels, II the meat is n little fly blown it
viii add to yuur dignity as II hunter. You
can chew plug tobacco OF not, just ms you
feel about it, but it would he wiscst to do
50 All the champion terrors chew large
quantities, ard the juice comes handy to
SPIT into a rattlesunke's eyes.
wouldn't take u horse il | we're you.
He would be II great deal Of trouble to
take care Of. and most Of your hunting
will be in n rough country. The true
terror Inns aIways zone afGot and ALWAYS
will. Anybody on horseback can make
M frces AT Il grizzly and gallon of out OF
reach
one great mistake which the average
boy make, is planning 10 accomplish too
much the first season. Most Of them fig
ure on wiping ont about Geo Indians and
twice that number Of bears Keep your
estimates down to n reasonable figure.
You feel ambitious and enthusiastic, OF
course, but there is IL limit to what n boy
can do. SET YOUR figures at ubout 400 In
dams and 800 grizzlies This will be al
most two per dny the wear around, and
Will keep you from spelling.
SCALP EVERY ONE.
