The Monsters of the West

Spring 1805

We had to learn about the animals we hadn’t encountered before. One was the grizzly bear. At first, we thought we could bring down the large animals with our good rifles and ammunition. The first time, I thought it was easy. A couple shots and the bear was down. But the next time, we found a bigger, meaner bear. It took 10 rounds to bring down that monster. We now had a new respect for this beast. We learned to be careful and that they could not be easily killed.
