was in Patagonia and tried to poach a sheep, but just after catching it he was spotted by a gaucho who rode up to intercede.
The quick thinking climber made it appear as though his intentions were merely amorous rather than larcenous.

May have happened more than once, but Bridwell told that story about himself at a slide show back in the late 80's. Funny as hell...

i believe the burgess brothers 'version' of this story happened in the himalaya, NOT patagonia
patagonian sheep = the bird
himalayan sheep = aid and alan

I heard the gaucho fell off his horse laughing because the climber had grabbed a yearling ram,..
not that there is anything wrong with it.

Donini "poached one," slit its throat, and got away with it.
He will get to eat a lot of sheep in Iran too.

How do the welsh shepherds find sheep in tall grass?
Quite good, actually.
