SOME LIONS I HAVE MET
|
|
This is an exciting, specialist book on lion hunting for the lion hunter by an expert lion hunter. It contains many thought provoking and valuable lessons, for example, on calibres, cartridges and why not to use an over-and-under double rifle.
These are also not carefully edited stories where the PH and the client never put a foot wrong. No, these are graphic, here, now and in your face stories where you can almost feel the rumbles of the lion's roar in your chest and smell his paint stripping breath at the end of a close encounter. A number of them have made a previous appearance in one or other of his earlier books but each one has been re-written with a particular, instructional aim in mind.
"These are not boring cat hunts spent watching smelly bits of meat become even smellier but are, for the most part, all action, walk and stalk hunts..... If you are one of the lucky few that can still afford to hunt a lion but have not done so, then this book is compulsory reading. If, like me, you have been lucky enough to have hunted lions but cats are no longer on the menu, you will thoroughly enjoy the armchair ride back to days gone by. And, if you have never and are not ever likely to hunt the King of Beasts, you will enjoy every adventurous page of these exciting tales with some leopard and elephant hunting thrown in for good measure when it complements the lion hunting action." (Peter Flack, Co-editor of African Hunter II, 2007)
