Dalton Carr, a black bear hunter for forty-one years, was a predator controller on the Yakima Indian Reservation in Washington State, a marshal of Red River in Colorado where he killed "bad" bears, and a sport bear hunter in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and Wyoming. He never used traps or dogs, but rather preferred to stalk his bears with a rifle. With an eye for detail, sharpened by his many years in law enforcement, Carr tells what to look for when tracking a bear. Carr has been charged several times by bears, and he explains why charges happen and what to do to avoid calamity. He tells of the best bullets and calibers to use on bear and the best places to shoot a bear to deliver that killing shot. His tales are not derring-do, but his factual accounts are both exciting and entertaining! Read about the time Carr crawled into a hollow log after a wounded bear, all the while knowing he could be torn to shreds at any moment! As a professional bear hunter, Carr has stories that run the spectrum from sad to funny and dangerous to comic. Recollected here are the true adventures of a professional bear hunter?a job almost extinct in modern?day America. Timeless stories such as the Huckleberry Bear, the Phantom Grizzly, and Keith and the Three Bears will forever be etched in your memory by this gifted storyteller and remarkable hunter. Carr has had an unusual life, and it is all right here in this terrific page-turner!
