“I THINK I see one now,” Roy Tumilson, one of our Idaho guides, said calmly as he pulled up his horse. “Let me see a glass, somebody.” I handed him mine. He steadied his mount with a tight rein and took a long, one-handed look. Then he gave me back my binoculars. “Cow,” he muttered. “Way up there. See the three green spruces together? Well, look to the right about 100 yards and then up. You’ll see a yellow spot right in the middle of a bush. That’s an old cow’s rump.” “I see it,” Erv Malnarich,

Learn More › The best seller among shotguns in the United States is the 12 gauge pump gun with a 30-in. full-choke barrel. It is what the customers demand and, naturally, what the manufacturers supply. Such a gun is all right for deliberate pass-shooting at ducks at from 45 to 60 yd.

Read excerpt
“I SEE ONE NOW!” John Kingsley-Heath, our white hunter, said. “It’s all alone, and I am quite sure it’s a bull. He’s way over there moving along the dune under the horizon and to the left of that palm grove.” Quickly I picked him up in the glass—my first gemsbok.
