| Product Description |
It has been said by many sportsmen that nothing compares to hunting truly free ranging mountain game animals in a rugged and natural terrain. Whether you want to read about the Grand Slam of North American wild sheep, the Super Slam of the World's Wild Sheep, markhor in Pakistan, ibex on several continents, or European and South American mountain game, it is all here in this one volume. Hunting mountain game is regarded as one of the physically most challenging, most demanding of all big game hunting endeavors. It is also accorded the "highly rewarding" status when that head of heads is finally resting by your feet on a mountainside.
Desert, Dall, stone and bighorn sheep in North America; argalis, tur, red sheep, markhor, mouflon, and many more throughout Asia; ibex, Barbary sheep and mountain nyala in Africa (yes, Africa has some great mountain game), and Alpine ibex, chamois, etc. of Europe and South America are all here. McElroy Hunts Mountain Game is filled with the variety of trophy hunting stories of which classics are made. Having started his quest for the world's mountain game in 1939, Mac continued to hunt these great animals (sheep, goats, ibex, chamois and more) on every continent until 1990. That represents a FIFTY-YEAR quest for the world's mountain game!-Perhaps the longest hunting career of any non-professional.
McElroy Hunts Mountain Game will take the reader to some of the most spectacular big game hunting country in the world and some of the most remote places on this planet. The intriguing thing about mountain game hunting is that no matter how much technology changes the way we do things in general, this particular sport will not change. The trophy hunter must still climb high, trek on foot and use spotting scopes to find his or her trophy and then make the final stalk on foot. Whether you are just starting a quest for the world's mountain game, or are already a dedicated hunter, McElroy Hunts Mountain Game will both thrill and enthrall, and will be enjoyed for years to come as one of the most recommended books on the subject. It is a must for all hunters who are interested in adventure and companionship. |
