Texas bear hunt to feature Roosevelt visit says Capt McDonald
Capt Bill McDonald, famed Texas ranger and Roosevelt ally, claims the president will hunt bears in the San Bernard bottoms near the Gulf of Mexico this late fall or early December. The party will include McDonald, Cal Geeill Lion, and Sloan Simpson with a few Texas officials as guides. The San Bernard canebrakes offer dense terrain with tall bear populations, and trails will wind from a central camp where Roosevelt will base his bear hunt.
