Sixteen big game trophies were
brought out of the fastness of the
Canadian Rockies by Thad Sweek
and James II. Estes when they left
there recently, according TO Mr.. Es-
tes who has arrived in Pendleton fol-
lowing his hunt for big game as q
guest of Sweek.
FOR SO days the men with their
guides and helpers We're back in the
mountains, and when they came
back to civilization they had shot
five grizzly bears, all silver tips, one
black bear and one cub brown bear
three caribou, two moose, three
goats and two mountain sheep.
OF this number of trophies, MI
Estes has made reservations on one
bear hide, one sheep, one goat and
one caribou. Bears got at the bun
moose he shot and ruined it ioI
mounting, and the bull Sweek shot
was damaged to Il certain extent.
He expects to have the trophies here
before long to show to friends. In
cidentally. it will help him TO re-
member the thrills of his hunt.

As for hunting, it is matter OF
Guality and not quantity, Jim says.
The guides are licensed and bonded,
and they take very dcep interest
in seeing that both hunters and gam"
get a square deal a man nllgh,

even if he did. and of course the
guides see that he does not, Jim
says. the hunter would have TO pUi'
mighty soon because his pack train
would soon be overloaded. on ac-
count of inability to get much eN-
cess weight out of the mountains,
very little meat was brought out.
