Description:Life in the open (1906) is Holder's account of hunting and fishing in the counties of Santa Barbara, San Buenaventura, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange, and San Diego. The topics include horseback hunts for lynx, fox, and wolves; fishing for trout in the Sierra Madres and for game fish off Catalina; pursuit of shore birds and water fowl; mountain lions and mountain goats; and photographic hunts for sea lions. Throughout, Holder argues for the sportsman's role in conservation.Excerpt:My conception of sport does not include a desper ate killing, a plethoric bag or creel the game is merely an incident in the day, and in the splendid canons of the Sierra Madre, I confess, has often been forgotten. A hunting, day, at least to my mind, should include a drawing for all the senses, not game alone, but the enjoyment of the ﬂora, the variety in mountain view, the vistas of different kinds, the charming changes of colour and tone that sweep over the range as the hours pass, and the thousand and one diversions which nature always affords.Southern California lends itself particularly to such a definition of sport; its hunting grounds are staged with unwonted effects - lofty mountains, pallid deserts, seas of turquoise abounding not only in countless game fishes, but in a marvellous variety of living forms which appeal to the sportsman and fill out his days with aes thetic as well as practical experiences.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
