He was traveling back and forth between New Mexico and Mongolia at the time, and didn’t want to pack a rifle and a shotgun. From what he wrote, I think most, if not all, of the small game was taken with rather large eagles his hosts raised, after sight hounds that rode on the horses with them, pushed it out of cover. I don’t remember reading or talking to him about big game, but, his hosts did raise sheep, and he ate plenty of it while he was there.
That phase didn’t seem to last too many years, and he sold the gun when he wasn’t going back and forth any longer. I think he knows where it is, and has tried to buy it back a few times, to no avail.
