Best Lion Hunting Info?
All,

What are the best/most informative lion hunting books or DVDs? Has anyone made a definitive book or DVD on lion hunting like Boddington on buffalo or CMS on Hunting the African Elephant? I recently read Cundill's book Some Lions I Have Met and have ordered The Guide to aging lions. What else is there?

Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter
May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick.
And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too.
May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep.
May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip.

"In the Jaws of Simba" has a really good lion charge in it.

Thank you Kathi. Is there anything else out there that is informative on lions and lion hunting? Anyone?

Been a couple of good 'how to' lion hunting articles in the last couple editions of African Hunter.

I suspect the definative edition of "how to hunt lion" will be Wayne Grants new book. His "into the Thorns" is the best work I have ever read on leopard hunting and he is working (with Africn Hunter?) on a follow up in the ' Art of hunting..' series. But not ready till jan 2010

The Book of the Lion by Sir Alfred Pease is a treasure of information and experience.
