I have also read his other book as well and am now working through this later work in which he is much braver in covering odd occurences.
It is clear that he did encounter a aquatic dinosaur. Certainly that is the only explanation he had at the time. It was a misty morning, but they saw a typical pleiosaur head and neck stick up several feet out of the water. They fired on it and it immediately dived and went down. They then proceeded over yhe spot. Looking down through the water they saw the large pleiosaur shape sitting still on the bottom. It then took off. No mistaking it. They saw what they saw.
This book also has a mass of grizzly bear observations that deserve to be preserved. Plenty of detail regarding what plants they eat that i have never seen before.
A delightful study in dog, grizzly and horse interaction is also described that is impossible. The dog charges into a bottom land, hten returns hotly pursued by a large grizzly. The dog then circles the man and horse attempting to shake the bear and does this several times before diving under the horse. The grizzly follows no less and the horse stay completely calm. That is almost impossible. When the dog then leads the bear off hte horse then gasllops up to its destination. Dog soon returns safely.
Because this is an age of marine power, we never ever encounter marine cryptids. ..This was not true in the day of dsail and i have also had another great sighting on this coast. We saw a vegetarian as well and we have giant kelp beds here.
Clayton Mack
Clayton Mack was born in 1910, at Nieumiamus Creek - "place of flies." He went to a residential school and worked as a logger, fisherman and a rancher before becoming a tracker and hunting guide. Descended from a long line of Bella Coola chiefs, he was a walking encyclopedia of tribal lore and wordsmanship. He spent 53 years on the BC central coast, guiding the rich and famous on trophy hunts that felled an estimated 300 grizzly bears. During this time, he also gained a reputation as one of the best storytellers in the province. He was flown to Hollywood in the sixties for a visit, where he mesmerized the California jet set with his hunting tales. In 1988, after suffering a stroke, he was moved into long-term care at the Bella Coola Hospital. He died in 1993.
