He Goes Bear Hunting (1915)

"Dreamy Dud" is fingering his rifle and telling Wag what a great shot he is. He aims over his shoulder and shoots his initials in the board fence. He aims at a crow in a tree but cannot kill it because the crow ducks each time he shoots and then eats the bullets as they are shot. Finally Dud gives up and determines to kill a bear. He and Wag tramp off and discover a Teddy bear which Dud chases and is about to kill when the mother bear runs out and chases Dud. He is frightened and runs into a tree. Down below the mother bear is raging and shaking the tree. Dud drops the gun and the bear picks it up, squinting into the muzzle and, pulling the trigger, killing herself. Then the old father bear hurries out and, seeing the dead mother bear, becomes wrathful and questions Dud, who is terrified in the tree still. Dud won't say much and the bear shakes him out to the ground. Dud runs away and is caught in a fence when the bear catches up to him. The bear shakes him and then he wakes up to find his mother bending over his bed telling him to wake up.
