hi welcome aboard as has been asked would be great to see some photos of his rifles and other artifacts. a list of the rifles with cal and type and make would be good as a starter to wet the appetites for the photos . i have read his book , but a while ago...might have to dig it out again ps where in the uk do you live?

Welcome to the forums.

Thanks every one for the friendly welcomes, nice to hear some of you have read his book and enjoyed it and others going to give it a try .( although I know I am biast it is a very good read).I am busy going through all his trophies and possesions at present but will gladly keep you informed off special finds etc sorting through the hundreds of photos we have most of which have never been seen before ( shall add some asap). its quiet over whelming the amount of items he actually brought home in the few journeys he made back over the years . this could take some time !!!! must admit I am captivated by the life he led on the spore. and I wonder what jim and his fellow hunters of that era would make of the sport as it is today with all the rules and regulations you now have to follow!? I look forward to hearing verdicts on his book from some of you and hearing your now a day hunting stories.
