Bear Experience

One year my mom, James and my uncle John went moose hunting up river by Devil's Elbow. They all stayed in Pete William's cabin for three days. During those three days they heard bear noises. They knew for sure it was a big bear, and it was not scared. Even though they used the chain saw the bear wouldn't go away. This all happened for two days.

On the third day, while my mom was cooking and James and Johnny were taking a nap, my mom heard the bear walking around the cabin. My mom got scared and she woke up James and Johnny. While the bear was around the cabin, James was so tired of it coming around he decided to scare the bear away by loading his shotgun and firing it in the direction the bear went.

After lames shot, they all went outside to see where the bear went. But they couldn't tell They waited and waited until they heard the large bear coming toward them. When it charged James fired the shot gun from his hip because he had no time to fire from his shoulder. As he was firing the bear finally turned back! Hte was firing so fast he didn't notice his finger was scraped from the gun kicking back. Then they waited half an hour more. It got so quiet that they could hear a little stick break from a mile away. While they were waiting they started to get a little scared, James even started to get a little shakey.

Time passed and they began to feet a little better. They were so serious, and they all wanted to see where the bear stopped when James finished firing. They figured the bear had stopped about five or six feet away from them. After they checked the bear tracks, they were so worried they decided to pack up and go. They didn't want to deal with the big Brownie anymore because nobody could say what he might do next. Before they took off they waited a little white longer to see if the bear would come out. But the bear didn't come out, and they picked up stakes and left.

James said they were lucky to be alive today. If the bear didn't stop it probably would have torn them all apart. After their experience they wouldn't go through any thick brush or trees. He said he was glad they were still all alive now.
