An account of hunting various game in the American Southwest and northern Mexico: deer, antelope, bighorn sheep, elk, desert pig, quail, bear, mountain lion, jaguar--and even wild turkey! John Woolf O'Connor (January 22, 1902-January 20, 1978) was a writer and outdoorsman, best known as a writer for Outdoor Life magazine, where he served as Shooting Editor for 31 years. O'Connor was well known among shooters and hunters as a proponent of the.270 Winchester and 7x57mm Mauser (.275 Rigby) cartridges, and for his extensive knowledge of hunting and shooting. O'Connor wrote over a dozen non-fiction books including Game in the Desert, The Rifle Book, The Complete Book of Rifles and Shotguns, The Big Game Animals of North America, The Art of Hunting Big Game in North America, and Sheep and Sheep Hunting. He also wrote two western novels, Conquest and Boom Town, and the autobiography of his formative years: Horse and Buggy West: A Boyhood on the Last Frontier. According to his son Bradford, in an introduction written for the 2004 book The Lost Classics of Jack O'Connor, O'Connor wrote more than 1200 articles for hunting and fishing magazines.
