Texas Lion Hunter

John R. Vosburgh

4.9/5 (30578 ratings)

Description:Here is a story which combines the rugged adventure of big game hunting in Texas and little-known facts of wildlife with the factual account of the work of one of Texas’ outstanding outdoorsmen.Texas Lion Hunter is not a biography in the usual sense — it is the exciting account of a man pitting his methodical sureness and knowledge of the Texas wilds against the cunning and deadliness of the predators which range the Texas cattle land.From the time John E. Hearn learns to use his first rifle till the time he tracks down his most elusive ‘‘headlighter.” that two-legged predator who so damages Texas deer, this outdoor drama of the ranchlands will hold attention. If a reader is unversed on the subject, a whole new experience is waiting; and for the veteran hunter there is the bag of John Hearn’s “tricks” acquired in his years as a trapper, and with the U. S. Biological Survey, and the Texas Game, Fish, and Oyster Commission.Hearn, a small, lean athlete “as tough and tireless as a rawhide whip," began his trapping with one lone trap when he was just 12, and by the time he was 20 he had 100 traps and was making a good living off fur-bearing animals in South Texas. When the coyotes began taking their terrible toll of Texas cattle, Hearn was summoned into Government work to use the vast knowledge he had gained living and working outdoors.Abandoning the orthodox method of hunting with hounds, Hearn went to work with his own tested trapping system and gained the respect of even the most skeptical of the cowboys, who at first scoffed at his methods.When the call became more urgent for help against the vicious and dangerous mountain or Mexican lion. Hearn again responded as he tracked and trapped and hunted down the most ruthless of all game and cattle predators. Without a compass, and sometimes without even a horse, Texas’ leading adversary of predators accomplished his word. Thrown in for still more excitement are the stories of the bobcat, beaver, gar, javelina and the diamondback rattler, the total effect of these experiences is as thrilling as a Wild West movie, and the facts brought out would make Hollywood writers envious of their fascination.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
