 | | King Of The Mountain | | Walk uphill. Walk downhill. Shoot. Miss. Repeat. Every hunt has its ups and downs, but Jim Baichtal’s mountain goat hunt pushed his physical and mental limitations to extremes... |  |
|
| |  | | Seventy-Year Dream | | The author fulfilled a lifelong dream when he harvested this Dall’s sheep in the rugged mountains of Alaska. | |
|
| | | | | |  | | The Whole Enchilada! | | "We watched him run about 500 yards on the right side of the ridge, then stop and begin feeding. Later, the two other biggest rams joined him. We took a dead run down the right edge of the wide ridge. When we got near to where Charlie thought they might be, he peeked over a knob the size of a car, ducked down and whispered, 'On your bellies!'" | |
|
| |  | | West Texas Triple Play | | After more than a half-century pursuing big game, the author experienced 4 days of hunting heaven—Texas style. | |
|
| |  | | Taking the Plunge | | "With a bullet loaded into the chamber I poked my head back up over the ridge. The goat was still there, and it hadn't sensed our presence. I watched that goat for what seemed like hours-I still couldn't tell how big its horns were, but I knew it was a shooter." | |
|
| |  | | Sheep Insights | | In reality, it doesn't take a lot to fool sheep...but it takes a lot to get near one. | |
