Congrats again,

Thanks woodsie, there are some awesome jaw dropping collections in Vol 5.

P.S. Did you hunt with Jim Schockey ? How did it go. PM me when you get a chance.

Sorry buddy,
I forgot about this post.
Wife needs the computer now, but I will pm you in the Morning.
The quick answer is, book with Shockey if you interested in that hunt. IT IS AMAZING. (Get in before the SCI show)
I'll PM you more info in the morning.
Thanks,
W.

Ordered to keep set full.

I'm expecting to receive mine soon.
It does amaze me the amount of thought put into organizing the trophy rooms and then the amount of hunting to accumulate them. Simply stunning and amazing.

Also, I'll say it once and I'll say it again about these trophy rooms, unless there are mountain game mixed in with the flatland African game, IMO it isn't a true 'hunters' trophy room.

With that said, I'm missing the 3rd issue. I've found the newly issued 2nd reprint but am needing 1st issue. Anyone?

bluefin,

One would imagine that cost of hunts, travel, taxidermy, trophy rooms, for these volumes would probably amount to couple of Billion dollars easily. Safari Press has done a great service to archive these private collections for generations to come.

Volume 3 was the hardest one to find as it got sold out very quickly. A used Vol 3 First Edition was being sold at amazon couple of months ago for over $350 and it did not last long as someone bought it right away. The Second Edition of Vol 3 you can buy from safari press for $60 I believe.

I have the entire set, all first editions. Volume 5 seems different than the previous ones, not as many collections featured but more detailed photography on each one. Wish some of the previous collections had been covered in more detail. Best set of hunting books I've seen.

Ouch. What is that - $280?
Wished I would have gotten that book when it first came out.

Agreed, it is the best set of hunting books from Safari Press. I am so glad I have all volumes.

Looks like someone bought Vol 3 already. Maybe bluefin They have volume 4 listed at a very high price 121 uk pounds....amazing.

Are you in the book, collector? Got any photos of your trophy room to share?

Found an original vol 3 for $150. Hated to do it but pulled the trigger to complete the series.

Anders,

Sorry I cannot post my Trophy Room pics here due to copyright reasons. But please feel free to get the book directly from Safari Press here is the link.

If you are interested in my pictures, there are two other books available. One was photographed entirely by me and one is a collaboration. Both books are available at www.EliteHuntingUSA.com then click on "Books".

I post my photos in the "Bird Shooting" forum here at AR. Please take a look when you get a chance. Look under topics that were started by collector.

Feel free to drop me a PM anytime.

I thought so, collector!
I guess I have to get some of those books..

Thanks!

Just received my copy and i'm impressed as usual. By the way collector, that's a ton of birds!

Thanks SilenT....glad you enjoyed the book. I have been at it for a long time, having a supporting wife who understands my passion for hunting really helped as well.
