Show I TTERVIEl-!: Romero Page 13 BR: very well. By building this pen, the bear will be forcNI to move towards the carca sand will tot accidentally fire Lhe weapon. I had the good luck that one of these bears was struck in the neck and the other one seemed to be walking sideways when he spied this carcass, and he pulled on it and the bullit struck him in the chest. These were grizzly bears. This occurred in Rock Springs, in the Teton Reserves, as it is called, in Yellowstone Park. One of them I killed without the use of trickery. We went out as sheepherder on a horse, and we went along a trail where there was a lot of grass. I went out with a companion and when we least expected, he said, ''Look, what is that?" And I said -- I saw this among the trees -- "I think it looks like a bear!" So he said, "Shoot at him!" It was early in the morning, so we got off the horses, and I took aim and fired, and I hit him. But he came directly at us. But the good luck was that the horses took off because we hadn't tied them after the firing. But it's a good thing we didn't tie them because they would have torn the reins. They took off to the camp. But when that grizzly bear was approaching us, I fired another shot and hit him in the shoulder and there was a big pine tree, and he climbed up the pine. And I did not have any more rounds of ammunition, but my friend took off on foot -- it was very close -- and brought more ammunition. And this way we were able to shoot the bear and kill him. It's a good thing that he climbed the tree, or else he would have probably killed us . END OF TAPE III, SIDE II |
