McElroy Hunts Mountain Game (ltd. edtn.)
by C.J. McElroy
- Used
Jagter på vildfår, gemser og ibex på seks kontinenter. Eksklusiv nummereret og signeret udgave. 2001McElroy, der bl.a. grundlagde SCI, var en inkarneret og ihærdig storvildtjæger livet igennem. I denne bog samler han ikke færre end 50 års erfaringer med jagt på vildfår, gemser og stenbukke verden over. 250 sider, storformat, indb.Nummereret (177 af 1.000) og signeret af forfatteren.MORE INFO: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, 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, McElroy continued to hunt these great animals (sheep, goats, ibex, chamois and more) on every continent until 1990. That represents a 50 years quest for the world’s mountain game — perhaps the longest hunting career of any non-professional.
