Spotted Beer All
Set for HUnfinu
by Mrs. Rhoda c. Kennel


SPOTTED BEAR - This week
sees the start of the regular big
game season with increased activi-
ty on the part of outfitters operat-
ing in this area Comparatively
speaking, there were not very
many hunters went back into the
special open areas for the two
seasons which opened Sept. Is and
Oct. 1st, and of those who did go
we hear varying reports as to luck
Sam Wicker, of the Diamond R,
had one party of four which got
two elk, A. j. French of the Will
derness Pack Train had woman
bag a bear at Independence Park
and the 10 men packed back into
three different locations of the Bob
Marshall Wilderness Area by the
KNL outfit came out with IA head
of game. Individuals who packed
themselves in with privately own
ed stock had about 80 per cent kill.
But with the opening of the reg
ular season this week, and a nice
helping hand from old Mother Ma
ture with snow, we see many road
side camps between Martin City
and Spotted Bear and the outfitters
are booked solid for the first week.
In addition, many hunters trucked
their own stock up and have pack
ed themselves back to their fav-
orite locations. Woe be unto the
game that gets into range of the
peepsights for the next month.
At the Diamond R Gladys Kell-
er is cooking; Rex Merritt and AL
vim Montgomery are packing and
Dutch" Paisley is helping out this
week as guide and packer. Chuck
Dawson is packing at Wilderness
Pack Train and his wife is helping
with the cooking. At KNL, in ad-
dition to manager Walt Cook, we
have "Howdy" Saloway and Spence
Dupuis packing and Mr.. and Mrs.
Glen Burnside of Kalispell are
managing the KNL camp at Mea-
dow creek. Mrs. Gladys Coan, of
Eureka, who cooked here last year
has returned to KNL to cook
through hunting season.
Activities at the ranger station
are curtailed with end of fire sea-
son and closing of all lookouts in
the district. Packer Adam Funk
has finished bringing in the look
outs, and Ranger Charlie Shaw is
establishing five-man camp on
Sullivan creek to cruise timber
above Quintonkin cabin.
Commercial packer Norman
Hanson, of Marion, has brought in
his outfit and established hunt
ing camp at Pentagon. Sam Wick
er has pulled his Black Bear camp
and set up another at Dean creek.
One of our out-of-state guests
who got nice bear at Three Sis
ters, gave us part of the meat and
fat, so now we can get back into
the pie business. We have become
so accustomed to having bear
grease over the past number of
years that we feel we can't do a
good job with pies without it, but
it is a commodity that can't al
ways be readily obtained.
Once again, at this season of the
year, we reveiew the safety situa-
ton and stress the need for ex-
treme caution and care in the
handling of firearms. There has
not been a hunting accident in this
district since 1929 and we outfit
ters hope to keep the record clear
again this year. OF course, we
can't personally do much about it,
except caution our guests, but we
are asking the cooperation of all
hunters in the area. Let's not have
any more of these needless acci-
tents.
