A book called mountain cowboys is about the Pyle family and talks alot about Floyd Pyle. I think High lonesome books had it.Jinx Pyle wrote the book

Excellent read by the way and Floyd was the real deal. He was doing predtor and govt. work abou the same time Giles Gowick was and they handled different sections of the state. The Pyles have a long history in the Rim Country and Floyd' son Gene was also and excellent lion hunter. Gene's son Jinx compiled the bookand he also did a good deal of lion huning in the Payson area.

Clay, for the life of me I cannot find the book you referenced. I checked Hi Lonesome, but they didn't have it.
