MEXICAN HUNTING<br />
(Continued from page 28)<br />
the law amended. Romero has great influence<br />
in Mexican hunting circles. He is a<br />
big game hunter and author of a book in<br />
Spanish on African hunting. Together, they<br />
persuaded the authorities that hunter-tourists<br />
from the north might become as important<br />
to Mexico as foreign hunters are in Africa,<br />
and the government changed the law to permit<br />
a hunter to bring in rifles, shotguns, ammunition.<br />
I spent two hunting seasons with Tex Purvis,<br />
going with him to hunting areas nobody<br />
ever thought of before. He was then starting<br />
to organize his hunting and guide cornpany,<br />
"Tex Purvis de Mexico, S.A."<br />
Seiior Bush, Tex and I hunted mountain<br />
lion in the sierras west of the City of Chihuahua,<br />
on the ranch of Sr. Urhano Zea, Jr.<br />
As guide we had a man who is undoubtedly<br />
the world's greatest cougar hunter, Jack<br />
Francis. He started hunting in 1914 as a<br />
friend and neighbor of Ben Lily's. His pack<br />
of hounds are descended purely, by inbreeding,<br />
from a female pup Ben gave him that<br />
year.<br />
URING the course of the hunt, Tex and<br />
D Jack set up a business arrangement such<br />
as Tex is developing in hunting areas all over<br />
Mexico. Tex planned to be the publicist of<br />
Mexican hunting, the outfitter; Jack would be<br />
he. guide for hunting in that area. Senor<br />
Zea agreed to build hunting cabins on his<br />
vast ranch.<br />
In the high mountains of Chihuahua and<br />
Sonora, Bush hoped to collect a Big Horn<br />
sheep trophy. Tex explored for the best hunting<br />
areas to set up a branch of his hunting<br />

guide company, the "sheep department."<br />
Texts idea was to transport sheep hunting<br />
customers high into the sheep country by<br />
helicopter.<br />
The hunter must choose in this mountain<br />
country between the convenience of a carbine<br />
as a saddle gun, or the longer range and<br />
flatter trajectory of rifles which are a little<br />
more trouble to carry on horseback. In Chihuahua.<br />
Bush carried a scope sighted .30-05<br />
