Dave Leath, famed area sportsmen,
will show motion pictures taken by
him of a big game hunt in the Cana
dian Rockies at the meeting of the
Bluffton Community Sportsmen’s
Club next Wed. night, April 9.
The pictures in 16 mm., show a
hunting trip in 1944 of Leath and his
anadian friend Herman Kroschel as
they treked high in the mountains of
Alberta, Canada, in quest of big horn
sheep, elk and deer.
Travelling by 9 horse pack train,
the two big game hunters and a guide
had good success on the trip, each
bagging a big horn sheep and Leath
bagged an elk. The head of the elk
can be seen at Perrys hardware in
Leipsic, home town of Leath. It is
considered a near perfect specimen
measuring 4 feet long with a 4 foot
horn spread. From base of neck to
top of horn the mounting measures
6 feet!
