:13:00
And then I called back...
:13:03
back to the office,
:13:05
and told them what happened out here,
what I thought had happened.
:13:08
And that we would need some assistance
out here. That we had some problems.
:13:16
After the Park Service arrived,
then I'm leading them up through the alders.
:13:20
This is the same trail
that I'd come up the first time.
:13:23
We got to about right here,
and we just stopped.
:13:27
We stopped just to take
a look around.
:13:29
Right then, one guy with us
just yells, "Bear!"
:13:34
And they all spin around. These gun barrels
come over the top of my head.
:13:38
Boy, they just start
firing them off.
:13:40
I ducked down 'cause
they hadn't given me a gun.
:13:42
I'd look up, and they'd fire
over and over again.
:13:45
Then I look up when they're done firing
and there's just a cloud of smoke here.
:13:50
I look over, and the bear
is laying right there.
:13:53
They're yelling at me,
just don't go near the bear.
:13:56
I knew he was dead.
:13:58
He'd been shot in the head
and the neck and everywhere.
:14:02
He was just laying here
pretty much lifeless.
:14:06
And this is right where...
where the bear...
:14:10
I told them at the time, I said,
"This is the bear that killed Tim."
:14:13
I knew, 'cause that was the same bear
that I had seen down here
:14:16
looking at me right through
the alder bushes there.
:14:20
So I knew this was the bear.
I said, "Yep, that'll be the one."
:14:23
That wound up being the bear
:14:26
that they found Tim in.
:14:30
I'm here on camera with Olie, the big old bear.
The big old grumpy bear.
:14:35
He just took Cracker
out of the creek area.
:14:39
There's not a lot of fish here
:14:41
so you can understand him wanting
to have control of the creek.
:14:44
He's acting like
an alpha male here.
:14:47
Which, I guess, for the fact that he is
the only male here, he is the alpha male.
:14:51
At any rate, he's also...
He's a surly bear.
:14:54
I met him on the path
the other day,
:14:57
after feeling sorry for him, thinking
that he was a bit thin, a bit gaunt...
