Ex-lib item with typical marks (library stamps present). Bound in plain blue buckram cloth boards with gilt titles present to the spine. Boards in have shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Numerous sporting adventures, including stalking Ovis ammon, tahr, markhor, ibex, barasingh and bear. Bairnsfather also includes a chapter of pig sticking memories in addition to some angling experiences . During the first decade of the twentieth century, the demand for hunting far outstripped the supply of the hunting areas, especially that of markhor. The drive to bag a record size trophy of the 'patriarch' resulted in the shooting of many not so magnificent heads. Bairnsfather, who hunted in Astor and Gilgit in the 1913, looked for a "really good head" of markhor and wrote the following: E-79; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 137 pages.
