About this listen
The exceptional true story of great dogs, grizzlies, horses, mules, outlaws, and an eccentric frontiersman.
Meet Mr. Grizzly is an exquisite look into the life and adventures of a rural New Mexico ranchman, and one of the best dog books ever written.
Montague Stevens, a brilliantly innovative sportsman set out to train a pack of the best and most well-trained dogs in the history of bear hunting. Humorous and tear-jerking at times, it is a must read for anyone interested in the sport or anyone who loves dogs, horses, and true stories of adventure.
A one-armed Englishman Montague Stevens had a singular approach to the everyday problems of the sportsman and rancher. His hound training and techniques were so far ahead of his time that they are still new and innovative today. And as on a chessboard, he believed that there was a simple solution to every problem encountered and often demonstrated it. For one minor example, upon hearing of several horse thieves in the area he had all of the tails cut off of his horses so that they would be easily identifiable-thus preventing what would have been surely the loss of livestock.
From the Indian-wars, to ranch life, and above all the grizzly hunts, Stevens tells us how it was, with tongue-in-cheek humor and truth that is often stranger than fiction. Meet Mr. Grizzly is a book for the modern sportsman as well as the historian and armchair adventurer. A book to enjoy and pass on to friends and family. For it is truly one of the all-time classics of the old west.

Glad to see this on audible as I absolutely love this book, the virtual voice is easy to listen to, but it makes a few mistakes here and there.
Would highly recommend to anyone interested in the true west, as well as anyone interested in hounds, horses and hunting. Includes many great stories of frontier life, not just bear hunting.
Maybe the best book I have ever read!
