    Antique Bear Trap

    A commonly mooted point among hunters of big game in the West is whether the early hunters and trappers after the grizzly bear did not exaggerate Old Ephraim’s ferocious ways, his terrifying aspect, and his extraordinary endurance, or whether the Grizzly Bear Mounts of to-day is a degenerate scion of a powerful sire. All hunters after western big game agree theer is a wide difference in temper, stature and ferocity between Old Ephraim as hunted to-day and the grizzled old fellow that used to appear in thrilling Western fiction, and of which Kit Carson, Jim Bridges, and other plainsmen told so thrillingly in other days. Some philosophic souls argue that early hunters had reason for magnifying the terrors of following after Old Ephraim. He was the biggest, fiercest, and ugliest beast they had ever tried conclusions with, and armed only with their crude weapons it was indeed a mortal risk to rouse his ire. The first palefaced hunters who encountered grizzly bears were in the Lewis and Clark expedition up the Missouri River and across the unexplored region to the Columbia River!
