It seemed the bear had felt he won the prior days battles and was now emboldened to face them. Although none of the men carried a hunting rifle, they were confident their shotguns and pistols would be enough to bring the bear down for good. Alpheus Hammon and a hunting partner decided to hike to a point above a patch of timber and approach the bear from behind. They worked their way around the bear and began sneaking downhill toward the grizzly. Part way through the timber the grizzly got wise to their presence and doubled back toward them. The wounded bear chased them for a short distance before they contrived a way to flip the ambush. They decided to part ways and run in opposite directions. After splitting the bear's attention, they would turn back toward the bear as it ran past them and kill it. Well, the grizzly didn’t cooperate. As soon as it got the place they split it immediately followed Hammon and began attacking him. Hammon tried firing his shotgun to kill the bear but the dreadful click of a misfire was all he heard. Seeing the bear toss Hammon around, his hunting partner charged forward, put the barrel of his gun to the bear's ear and pulled the trigger. But there was no roar from the gun, as it, too, had misfired. Given desperate times call for desperate measures, both men turned to the only weapon they had remaining for defense. They began pummeling the grizzly with the buttstocks of their guns. Now Charles could see from his perch in the tree that the men were in danger and weren’t exactly winning their battle with the bear. He quickly dropped to the ground and trod over to the melee. Hoping to end the carnage, Charles pressed the double barrel of his shotgun against the grizzly’s head just as it jerked to bite Hammon. The resulting blast missed the bear’s skull but blew out several teeth as it tore through the bear's jaws. Charles repositioned the shotgun to use the other barrel of his firearm but before he could pull the trigger, the grizzly turned its massive head and clamped onto his abdomen, just above his left hip. The bear’s teeth clicked together as they punched through his flesh. Charles felt himself being lifted off his feet and violently thrown back and forth before his hide gave way and launched him flying several feet. Upon landing Charles felt the immense weight and power of the bear press him to the ground and it clawed and bit him all over his body. Charles used his shotgun as a barrier between himself and the bear. The grizzly ripped at the wound on his side, opening it up more. To fight off the bear's rapacious jaws, Charles stuck his hands down its throat. He fought to grasp the bear's muzzle but the muscles in the bear's neck easily overpowered Charles's arms. The jaws of the bear alternated from chewing the man’s face to chewing his feet and back again in a circuit of pain and damage. As the men watched Charles being mauled by the wounded grizzly they heard him cry out for a knife to kill the bear with. Each time one of the men approached the bear swatted at them, sending them retreating in fear. Using their pistols the men fired three point-blank shots into the angry bruin but each one went completely unnoticed by the bear. This is when William Dees joined the melee. He suffered a head wound at the hands of the bear the prior day and knew the pain of its bite. Dees jumped on the grizzly's back and shoved the barrel of his gun to the back of its head. Pulling the trigger sent a shudder through the bear’s body before it collapsed. Having dispatched the bear over the two-day struggle, the attention of the men now turned to Charles. Covered from head to toe in wounds, Charles was not long for this life. The men carefully pressed his intestines back into the wound in his side and examined his thumb, which had been ripped from the end to beyond his wrist. One of his feet had been punctured 16 times by the bear's canines, leaving it a bloody mass. Knowing that Charles would be most comfortable at home, the men brought him to his loving wife. Elizabeth cared for him for ten days, but his wounds were too much for him. Before dying he told her that she was wonderful and should take care of their children. On August, 30th, 1863, 35-year-old Charles Henry Gates died. For decades following Charle’s battle with the bear, his double-barrel shotgun was shown to members of his family as his story was told. The bear’s teeth marks on the stock and barrel reinforced the veracity of the story.
