Bear Hunt in West Texas Ends in Lost Gear and Escape
A West Texas bear hunt recounts Col Howard and the narrator pursuing two bears above the Pecos river. After a long trek through rugged canyons the hunter is knocked into the Rio Grande when his horse bucked, surviving a violent storm and near-capture in a cave where two bears fought nearby. Col lets his bear go as the terrain and storm force a retreat, and both parties end separated, with the narrator finally reuniting with their companion days later.
