Awhile back someone asked for a list of what gear and food went along on a safari of bygone days. I cant find the post now but ive found a book from around 1910 that lists everything they took along, what all the natives did that they hired and lots of other logistics that other authors omit. The book is “IN AFRICA Hunting Adventures In Big Game Country” by John T. McCutcheon. The book is probably available as an ebook through your local library.

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, 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?
