if "figger" mean "figure", then what does "one that figures the world's his own, to prowl"mean? "The trail'll not be too cold, Pa? Reckon he won't be gone too fur yon-der to ketch up with him?" "He'll be fur yonder, but we got a heap better chancet o' ketchin' up with him, do we let him take it easy and give him time to lay up. A bear that knows he's follered moves a sight faster'n one that figgers the world's his own, to prowl and feed in."
