Gone Huntin' Again! By Pat Ferguson

Pat Ferguson is an old time raconteur of the finest kind. He cut his teeth in the ranch country of British Columbia and has walked and climbed and ridden horses through the wildest places that the mountains have to offer. As a hunting guide, Ferguson has had extensive experience in remote game fields and packed out trophies like sheep, goats, moose and grizzly bears for paying clients. He has also mentored his sons in all the backwoods skills needed to pursue the hardest hunts at the timberline fringe. In this, his third book, ""Fergie"" takes the reader along the trail - and on fly-in hunts - as he leads others in search of mountain goats, stone sheep, caribou and moose. He is a master at finding the humour in a tough situation and never afraid to have the last laugh on himself. Through full coulour photographs and lively text, the author takes the reader into the backcountry at a breakneck pace with a full pack and a thirst for adventure. For those who love a good story, Ferguson shares the good times and the often hard life of a wilderness hunting guide.

Author
For the first 19 years of his life, Pat Ferguson called the wide open spaces of the Douglas Lake Ranch his home. He was a natural born hunter from the start, covering untold miles of river bottom, back-waters and rangeland poptholes in the search of ducks, geese and grouse.
The cowboy life was all he knew but he was anxious to see what was over the next horizon. At the age of 19 and desperate to make some ""real"" money, he began a 15 year stint of underground mining. Word of ""bigger money"" and wild outdoor adventure in the north country eventually drew him to Stewart, BC where he was hired as an underground miner at the Granduc Copper Mine.
After 15 years of hard work underground, Ferguson failed his yearly medical due to rock dust in his lungs. Banished from underground work, he worked as a driller/blaster on rock jobs all across the north. Most of these were part-time jobs, so he began guiding hunters for various outfitters in the area. Thirty years later and on the slippery side of 60 he's still guiding and ""Lovin' it"".
