ON WRITES IN THE PREFACE: PULLING IMAGES
FOR THIS BOOK WAS NO EASY CHORE, AS THERE
ARE ONLY SO MANY PAGES—AND MY PUBLISHER
WASN'T REALLY INTERESTED IN PUBLISHING A 10-VOL-
UME SET! I tried my best to cover all four corners of our beautiful
state, and at times, crossed its borders to neighboring states for a
few images of Montana wildlife that don't observe state boundaries.
MOUNTAIN LION
I've seen a dozen mountain lions in the wild but this was the first and only
opportunity I ever had to get a photo. I was so excited to get that shot
that the first twenty-five images were out of focus. Thankfully, I had the
foresight to look at a shot and was able to refocus and shoot again before
the cat disappeared.
Order Wild Montana from Farcountry Press in Helena or your
favorite bookstore. It might very well be the best book of Montana
wildlife photography you'll see.
