Synopsis
Excerpt from Hunting at High Altitudes: The Book of the Boone and Crockett Club
This is the fifth volume of the books of the Boone and Crockett Club, the last one having been published in 1904.
The Club is fortunate in having for the volume the chapters which treat of the hunting adventures of Colonel Wm. D. Pickett, from 1876 to 1883. For many years Colonel Pickett was one of the vice-presidents of the Club, representing Wyoming, and has had an experience in hunting the grizzly bear greater probably than that of any man who ever lived. A keen sportsman, a lover of outdoor life, and a Southern gentleman, Colonel Pickett represents the ideals of the Boone and Crockett Club. He hunted in the Rocky Mountains at a time when people there were few and game was abundant. The day of the trapper had passed, and that of the skin hunter was just beginning.
As indicated by its title, this volume deals chiefly with hunting in the high mountains. Yet this hunting does not all lie close to timber line.
