Hunting the Wild Goat.

The White Goat or Rocky Mountain
Goat as it Unfortunately called, is a
species Of big game rarely hunted by
sportsmen. This is not so much because
OF the difficulty of killing the
animal, nor because of It's actual
rarity. 1t is stupid animal, easily shot
when once found. 1t ia not, however,
found in TIE usual hunting grounds, as
are bear, deer, elk, etc. 1t is remote from
the common localities, but where found
is in goodly numbers. 1t ranges very
high up in the mountains, above timber
line usually, among rocks and cliffs.
This requires great labor to get to it, but
once there the hunter will get his, game
