Elmer Keith's Big Game Hunting (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781626545748)

Widely known for his exploits as a gunman, hunter, and ballistics expert, Elmer Keith's writings on hunting and guns have instructed and inspired countless devotees--and no one has ever been more qualified to do so.

Keith lived his entire life in the wilds. And after decades of ranching and dozens of hunting trips to remote corners of Alaska and northern Canada, he built a tremendous body of knowledge about guns, game, and life on the trail, which he has generously shared in the pages of this one-of-a-kind book.

Like all of Keith's writing, Elmer Keith's Big Game Hunting is pragmatic, factual, and immensely informative. Here is the only big game hunting book that will explain how to:

• Look for game
• Judge trophies before shooting
• Properly select and care for your rifle
• Track wounded game
• Properly outfit for a hunting trip

Furthermore, Keith includes detailed profiles of the appearance and behavior of a range of American game, including chapters on bear, caribou, deer, elk, antelope, bison, arctic game, and more. A crucial book for active and aspiring hunters as well as anyone who appreciates a good fireside hunting story, Elmer Keith's Big Game Hunting is the definitive work on hunting game from a bonafide American legend.
