SmknbarrelThe Wanderings of an Elephant Hunter
I have been searching for the book, "The Wanderings of an Elephant Hunter" by Karamoja Bell for quite some time, at last check there was an old copy of it on amazon.com for $134. Way too much to pay... They now have a newly published version (Not out yet) for sale. Has anyone actually read the book? Is it all that it is cracked up to be?
safari press publishes it.

MinkmanBell's book, as well as Foran's Elephant hunters of the Lado Enclave & Stigand's Elephant hunting are great reads. They have helped me save money to help realize my African Dreams. Although, I can't afford a tusker right now, but I'll find a way, even if it's less than 40# a side.
