Grizzly Guide Returns From North
After Successful Hunting Trip

Reporting a successful and enjoyable
trip into the north as big-game_ guide
foy lL. A. Robertson of New York, B.
Sykes returned to Abbotsford last week
with two more grizzlies to his credit.

The ty of three, which included
Mr. Sykes’ son, hunted ‘for twelve days
in a well-known game section lying be-
tween Fort George and Mt. Robson
reservation, ‘‘going in’’ from Penny,
a point on the old G.T.P. line. Two
fine specimens of the bear family fell
to Mr. Robertson’s gun, one of which
measured nine feet, three inches from
tip to tip, and the other 7 feet, six in-
ches. The Easterner also bagged a
large mule deer on the same trip, re-
turning to New York, where he is traf-
fic manager on the N.Y. Central R.R.,
well satisfied with his luck. This is
the eighth annual big-game hunt that
Sykes has conducted for the New
Yorker, and the tally so far averages
two grizzlies per trip, although on one
occasion the party was “*skunked,’’
Robertson returning home without his
bear. The Easterner’s jaunt out west
to the Rockies costs him not‘less than
$1,200 each season, but what is that to
a $25,000 yearly salary, with vacations
paid?

Sykes says he has yet to see a grizzley
show fight, and he has been in at the
death of many. At the same time he
does not yeuture in the vicinity of the
killing without his .45 Colt alitomatic
ready for action, This Abbotsford man
bythe way, says he can snip the head of
a bird at 20 paces with his big pistol,
having filed the trigger release so that
it ‘‘hairs’’? at a pull of under two
pounds, instead of the regulation five
pounds, thus increasing accurancy,
seemingly at the expenge of safety.
But as svolyer marksman of lifelong
practice, kes has a reason more prac-
tical than fastidious for so delicately
adjusting his firearm. Operating only
with a gnide’s license, he is not per-
mitted by Jaw to, carry a rifle, so at
any crucial moment, much might de-
pend upon the accuracy of his revolver
aim, He is held responsible for the
safety of any party he conducts, and,
although he has not yet seen a grizzley
turn upon a hunter, he is not so confi-
dent that he might not at some time
be called upon to step between um green-
horn hunter and a wounded bear,
