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."

To translate the last sentence into English: A bear that knows he's followed moves a lot faster than one that thinks the world is his own, to prowl and feed in." In other words, if the bear is not being followed, he is relaxed, and 'thinks the world is his own'. He therefore prowls (wanders around) and feeds (finds food to eat).
