Here are the most exciting big game hunting yarns ever written
about Africa and Asia. Ten superb stories on hunting lions,
elephants, tigers, buffaloes, leopards and sheep, with chapters on
big game rifles, equipment and knives. The authors are Selous,
Baker, Kirby, Neumann, and Litledale-the most expert and fearless
hunters ever to track big game. Townsend Whelen-himself a famous
hunter-has been collecting these stories for years. His selections
are the best, and most exciting, accounts of absolutely true
adventures. These tales open a world almost entirely unknown to
sport: that of hunting man-killing big game alone, without the vast
equipment and caravans used by modern, organised hunters and
explorers. The authors tracked in unexplored countries, living,
surviving and earning a livelihood by the rifle alone. The comments
from the writers on the technical sides of their rifles, ammunition
and equipment are extremely valuable to all hunters. Townsend
Whelen's forewords to each chapter, and his comments on the
equipment and methods of the hunters, add immeasurably to the
quality of this unique collection. Whelen has dug deeply into the
literature of hunting and has selected what, in his expert opinion,
are the best big game hunting stories of all times. They have been
chosen with two points in mind: first, for extreme readability and
adventure; second, for the technical hunting information in them.
All the stories rank high on both sides.
A guide for all people wishing to handle a gun correctly. Chapters
include equipment, marksmanship, target shooting, practical
shooting, rifle ranges and joining a rifle club. Many of the
earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and
before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are
republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality,
modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
