American Big Game In Its Haunts is a book written by George Bird Grinnell, an American anthropologist, historian, and naturalist. The book is a comprehensive guide to big game hunting in North America, covering the habits, habitats, and behavior of various species of big game animals found in the region. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a specific species of big game, such as the bison, elk, moose, and grizzly bear. The author provides detailed descriptions of the animals’ physical characteristics, distribution, and behavior, as well as tips on how to track and hunt them. In addition to the practical hunting advice, the book also contains interesting anecdotes and stories about the author’s own experiences hunting big game in North America. Grinnell also provides historical context, discussing the role of big game hunting in American culture and the impact of European settlement on the region’s wildlife. Overall, American Big Game In Its Haunts is a valuable resource for hunters, naturalists, and anyone interested in the wildlife of North America. The book is well-written, informative, and engaging, making it a must-read for anyone who loves the outdoors and the animals that inhabit it.It is little more than twenty years since the first efforts were made to prevent the killing of game within that National Reservation, and only about ten years since Congress provided an effective method for preventing such killing. He must be dull indeed who does not realize what that game refuge has done for a great territory, and of how much actual money value its protection has been to the adjoining States of Montana and Idaho, and especially of Wyoming. The visit of President Roosevelt to the National Park last spring made these conditions plain to the whole nation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
