Any recommendations for books that are useful for hunting in Africa? I know there are many great adventure books and I have quite a few of those already but what about great info/reference books that you can go back to time and again when needed. What books should any self-respecting African hunter have on their shelf?
 
I like Safari Rifles II by Boddington and African Dangerous Game Cartridges by Pierre van der Walt. They both give a lot of good info on rifle calibers and ballistics. But what do I know, I a gun nut.....

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
