John Alexander Hunter "White Hunter"

All so interesting and wish I had a time machine! Colonial Africa at the turn of the century with such fine firearms too..Send me back with a Holland 500 Double or better yet 577 or 600...
I am not much of a reader now but which of his books would you Gents recommend to be the best ?[emoji208][emoji208]
Hunter (1952). A true classic.
 
Great read! my first choice in my book shelf to recomend Africana reading to friends
 
He is a very special person to me because he ignited my passion for Africa.
One day while in elementary school, I found "Hunter" in the bookmobile that used to visit our school....That started it all

I have an original copy of Hunter from 1952
I have just finished shunted by J. A. Hunter. What an incredible classic. @kevinpeacock should add it to our list given the excellent writing. I was very impressed with it and recommend it highly!!!

I agree and I can't believe that it isn't there already

To me that book and Death in the Long Grass are the best written and started it all for me

Most of my hunts are solo — just me, my rifle, and a good map. Sometimes I tag along with an old buddy for a week in Zimbabwe or South Africa, but more often than not, it’s just me.
Big fan of classic hunting — bolt-action rifles, old-school tracking, and taking the time to really be in the moment.
Just did a podcast, check it out if interested!
