BEAR HUNTERS BAG TEN HIDES IN TWO WEEKS Deer Rep(;rted to Have Come Through Winter in Fine Shape The hustling With a bag of six brown bear and four black bear to their credit, Walter Marter, E. Budd Marter, and Kirkland Marter, returned to Juneau yesterday afternoon aboard Tom Smith's Yakobi from two # weeks in the field. Guides accompanying the suc- cessful hunters were Oscar Waterud, V. P. Williams and Howard Mac- Kinney. All guides reported “an abundance of bear, a fine looking deer crop, and an unusual number of geese.” No unusually large bear were shot, but fine specimens were bag- ged. All three hunters got two brownies apiece. In Gambier Bay, where most of the game was seen, the party counted 47 deer in the two days they were there, and saw 22 brown bear. All told, at least 60 bear were seen on the trip, the guides reported. A few hours of trout fishing were enjoyed in the outlet of Lake Eva on Baranof Island, everybody getting a “beautiful mess of cut- throats.” The Marters will leave for their 'homes in the East on the Princess Louise.
