Maybe I will start a thread on un-ethical Weatherby award winners. I wonder if that would piss anyone off as much as the Capstick bullshit. Leave the poor bastard alone and admit he gave us some great reading on a sport that we all love. Paul C | |||

I understand that Peter wrote around 20 books, not bad for a so called fraud, and does anyone have a definitive FULL list of all his publications... Finally is there a PHC website to visit Cheers, Peter J | |||

I have the complete set including the capstick reprint library and videos. I don't know if he "really" was a PH, however he was a great wrtier and storyteller. | |||

This is the closest I have come to find a Peter Capstick dedicated website. Ken Wilson has it seems put a basic one line type (advert page) which promotes Ken's video's Just as an aside ... Ken apparantly is a good sort of a chap from our (own personal experience) when he visited (some years ago) and filmed at my brother Alan's Dendro Park private ranch in Zambia Peter Hathaway Capstick .com domain Keep his fond memories and wonderful stories alive | |||

SCI's record book is now available online, and I subscribed and did a search for entries with Peter Capstick listed as the professional hunter. In addition to the elephant mentioned above, Capstick also guided the same Italian doctor to a puku on the same safari. There were no other entries with Capstick as PH, however. I then checked the doctor's other entries and found Capstick was not his only PH. He has close to a hundred other trophies from all over the world, including elsewhere in Africa, in the SCI records.

The same PH who told me about Capstick also said that Ken Wilson is a douchebag. After watching the "Sportsmen on Film" Capstick series I think he is probably correct. Chipolopolo sent the complete Capstick collection to an AR member with the understanding that it would be passed on to the next member in line after he was done viewing it. Has that happened? | |||

I found another reference yesterday to Capstick’s professional hunting career while reading “Hunting, A Few Memorable Trips,” a book self-published in 1983 by Joseph C. Lawler and Oscar S. Bray. In the chapter “Mixed Bag In Zambia,” Lawler talks about his 1969 safari in the Luangwa Valley with PH Brian Smith of Luangwa Safaris, and says: “It was good to hear Peter Capstick, Brian’s fellow professional, tell of hunting jaguar in the Mato Grosso and of enormous strength and agility of the leopard, an animal he considered the most dangerous in Africa. Peter was a writer as well as hunter and his storytelling was a delight.” The other client in that camp was someone named Jack Buckley, and Capstick was Buckley’s PH. Trophy fees were ridiculously low then, and Lawler shot elephant, buffalo, lion, and black rhino on that safari. Although Lawler didn’t write about Buckley’s hunting, it probably can be safely assumed that Capstick also guided Buckley to one or more dangerous game species. Bill Quimby | |||

I always find these discussions interesting. It is a fact though, "That a man convinced against his will, is of the same opinion still." I have always enjoyed Capstick's writings. The only thing I can say is if you think he is a fraud, JUST DON'T READ HIS BOOKS. Many story tellers embellish and if you want to call it a lie you are free too. That's the beauty of life you can believe what you want to. | |||

Go ahead, and while you're at it ask him about trying to cop a free safari from the PH in question because "I'm Ken Wilson" and I make videos. Also ask him how much of the money from the series Fiona and Gordon Cundill saw. | |||

As was stated a couple of times earlier in the thread the PH doesn't want any part of this so we will keep him out of it. Both chipolopolo and myself have posted honestly and accurately what we were told. | |||

I realized I said I was done with this post...oops..pole sana!! But in defence of Mr. Ken Wilson: I've known him a few years (and also guided him once). Let me tell you (from my own personal experience.....not 2nd hand like yours): Ken is a tough hunter, very good shot, and one of the nicest guys I've ever hunted with! (BTW: he appeared to me as a modest gentleman; not a "Been there...done it all" type...that I see way too much of these days!). I've watched many of his videos, and found them well made & entertaining. Regards the PHC film series: I believe Ken simply allowed Capstick to be Capstick. your statement is not very clear. I'm sure Ken did not write a script for PHC to follow, so why blame him?? If PHC looked badly on film that was his own doing (or undoing). As PH's, we really don't have the luxury to "choose" our clients... Good, bad or otherwise....we pretty much take whatever bookings we can get. But Ken's an excellent client (who follows advice & shoots very well). it would be a pleasure to hunt with him anyday! | |||

But Bill, how can this be? Adrook tells us that after years of research and fact finding Peter was never a PH in Zambia. Of course he quotes an unnamed PH also. Sounds like he and his friend made up a bunch of stuff and now don't know how to get out from under their stories. Or the unnamed PH made it up.

No, no, you've got it wrong. adrook didn't "quote" the PH. He's keeping him out of it. Adrook made a huge point of mentioning that the anonymous Zambian PH we're not talking about is not involved at all in the discussion of his views on Capstick that we are studiously avoiding. Because that would violate a confidence! Get with the program! | |||

Oh, my bad. I didn't understand the subtleties of the situation. The risk of starting unsubstantiated rumours about a man and damaging his reputation would call for the utmost discretion. adrook's Deep Throat wouldn't want to have his name attached to a truthful expose of a Poseur because he has his sterling reputation as PH and over 40 years of experience to back him up. But like the mysterious Deep Throat, adrook and chipolopolo have also chosen to hide behind anonymity while choosing to degrade someone who didn't. Seems like a lot of fellows hiding out and throwing rocks from behind the outhouse. It must be a Character thing.

Now you're catching on. Good character also demands that we call you a douchebag if you point out who has demonstrated, for an absolute fact, that they have a collection of the photos from the 2008 gay pride parade. | |||
