Hunting Mountain Sheep by Theodore Roosevelt
Theodore Roosevelt recounts a mountain sheep hunt amid Bad Lands terrain. He describes the big horn’s formidable climbing, wary behavior, and the demanding ascent through wind cold and cliffs. After tracking in gray dawn, bold moves up knifelike ridges lead to a clear shot at a ram, pursuit along a narrow gorge, and a tense chase in glacial ash and rock.
