The thread on Kambaku got me thinking, who are the best writers that wrote/write books on hunting in Africa, India, etc. I am focused less on subject matter and more on the ability of the author to actually write an engaging book. To start I would offer up the start of a Top Ten list: Pondoro Taylor Jim Corbett Harry Manners Fred Everett Richard Harland Ron Thomson T.V. Bulpin Sten Cedergren Peter Capstick Kenneth Anderson Mike | ||

All good adds. Ian's first book was awesome, the most recent one (that his daughter helped finish) was disappointing. Mike | |||

Well,although not his main business,Ruark had his moments as well as Hemingway.Mike I guess this strikes me as a great idea. As to my two suggestions,if you are wanting truth + not just good stories;I would recommend in the former "Horn Of The Hunter" + in the latter "The Green Hills Of Africa". Lest we forget...W.D.M. Bell in "Karamojo Safari".Just my 3 cents. Never mistake motion for action. | |||

This is a fun thread. I haven't heard of half of these authors. I'm going to try most of them. Thanks for the posts. Brian IHMSA BC Provincial Champion and Perfect 40 Score, Unlimited Category, AAA Class. | |||

Mike, try ,Nikolai Bajkov Big game hunting in Manchuria Interesting as in one episode his partner gets eaten by tiger and in another, they encounter Black Plague Hitting logging and mining camps in Manchuria in 1908 " Until the day breaks and the nights shadows flee away " Big ivory for my pillow and 2.5% of Neanderthal DNA flowing thru my veins. When I'm ready to go, pack a bag of gunpowder up my ass and strike a fire to my pecker, until I squeal like a boar. Yours truly , Milan The Boarkiller - World according to Milan PS I have big boar on my floor...but it ain't dead, just scared to move... Man should be happy and in good humor until the day he dies... Only fools hope to live forever “ Hávamál” | |||
