A lot of bears
In the summertime my family Fred, Anna, Sophie Ann,
Andrea and I went for a boat ride to Kwig. We were in this
long slough on about the sixth bend when we saw two cubs on
a tree. While we were going to shore the momma bear came
straight at me. I got kind of scared when it was coming at
me. I was going to borrow Fred's .243 rifle but I used my
own gun instead. When it started charging towards me I aimed
towards mouth. Then I started shooting into its mouth. I
shot about seven times in the mouth and on the head. It
fellover struggled in the mud for a bit, then died.
Meanwhile the cubs were still on top of the tree. We left
them there, and after a few minutes, we left to our fish
camp. It just took us 45 minutes to go down. While we were
going out of Kwig we saw lots of ducks and geese.
A couple days later we went into Tukchak Slough. We also
went up the Cuelenguq River where we saw four Brown bears.
After we saw the second bear we went to shore and fished for
awhile. We caught pike, trout and Dolly Varden. After I
caught a couple of pike and one trout, we went back to camp,
cooked them up and ate them for supper.
