Gone Huntin' By Pat Ferguson

Ferguson's entertaining stories present a lighthearted view of his experiences hunting and guiding in the BC north. Hunters will relate to stories that deal with the adventure of men in the outdoors - camping, cooking, braving the elements - the intimate, often humorous challenges faced by northern BC people and wildlife.

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"".
