Bear Fight Ends in Blood and Death on Frontier Hunt
William Varley recounts a brutal bear hunt on Little and Big Pas Creeks where two seasoned prospectors, James Wilson and Jake Shultz, are killed by a wounded grizzly. The men camped, set traps, and pursued the bear after night prowls, leading to a deadly ambush as the animal attacked during a camp supper and later pursued through chaparral to a fatal finish.
