About the Author

Born August 26^th, 1940. Trouble is I missed opening day of Stone’s sheep hunting by 25 days. Truth of the matter is I didn’t take up sheep hunting until my late twenties. Married when I was 19. By the way, still married — and to the same woman. Proves that some women can really understand a sheep hunter. Three offspring, none of which hunt but they all like fishing. Raised in Victoria, B.C., then went to Kamloops, B.C. Kamloops is where I really started to hunt. Got interested in mountain hunting and got addicted to sheep. It doesn’t matter what species, it doesn’t matter what kind of country. Sheep hunting is sheep hunting from the wide open alpine basins to the Jack Pine thickets of Spences Bridge. What does matter is that the game is played fairly. Stick by all the standards of fair chase and when the trophy is had you will know in your heart and your soul that you earned it.
