The Big Brown Bear

 

Sometime during the middle of summer while Natalia's dryfish was hanging in the smokehouse over by the slough a big Brown bear came for a visit. It came to her smokehouse early in the morning, and Natalia didn't know about it until Jackie and Theresa told her there was something down there making loud noises. Then, Joel Isaac and Jackie went down to check what it was. They came back and said it was a big brown bear. So Natalia's husband, Herman, went down with them. They saw the bear was caught in a snare Herman had set and had broken the side of Natalia's smokehouse and taken a couple of her fish.

While the bear was in the snare it strangled to death. Then he called Richard Ellis and asked him what they should do with the bear. Richard went down to the slough and told Herman that after skinning the bear he would have to take the claws and some of the parts and send them into Fish and Game.

Natalia said she was nervous and scared about the bear. But she was glad he hadn't come during the day when she would've been down there. The next day a lot of people went down to check the bear.
