billinthewild"BIG GAME ARGENTINA" Craig Boddington
In this era of hunting, and hunting writing, Craig Boddington immediately comes to mind. He has done it all. Get ready for a change of scenery. I just received Craig’s newest work, “Big Game Argentina.” Many on this site know of my love for that country and the hunting available there. Written by a master writer the book and the beautiful photography brings to life the allure of hunting in Argentina. Not only does it convey all the excitement and beauty that hunting in Argentina can provide, it is probably Craig’s best designed book yet.
Craig hunted and wrote the narrative and Argentine photographer Guillermo Zorraquin is the man behind the admirable and outstanding photography. I wish I could say that “I have been there and done that,” but I can only say that I have visited many of the places depicted and I am looking forward, anxiously, to my return in April. It is a book I will treasure and one I will use over and over again to illustrate to my friends what hunting in Argentina is all about.
I recommend it highly; and it is now available at:
www.craigboddington.com If you attend the SCI Convention in Reno later this month, I am sure Craig will be there and available to personalize the book for you.

Idaho SharpshooterHmmmmm, I will be sure to get a copy at Reno. If Craig liked it I may have to go there in 2011. He's been a pretty solid tour guide so far.

DTalaI've watched the TV show several times.
The photography is excellent, well filmed.
The editing sucks, it jumps back and forth, showing the same footage several times and the show logo jumps out several times a show right in the middle of a segment. Makes me want to slap the editor/cutter.

ckulbethGuys this book is great! I have read and looked though it twice now and am still going back for more! Some good friends of mine, also who we book hunts for, Alejandro Trigo & Leandro Berrios owners of TGB Outfitters, are one of the hunts Craig wrote a story about in La Pampa. Both guys told me how great of a guy that Craig is and how much he enjoyed the country, which this book is a testimate of that. If you haven't had a chance to pick this book up it is a must is you have any passion for South America.

Idaho SharpshooterDtala,
it's called capitalism, and those are commercials.
It's how they pay for the program, since people like you and I won't support a pay per view channel.

DTalaRich, it's not just the commercial inserts, the show is "disjointed" and shows the same short footage several times per segment. I ain't so old I can't remember what they showed five minutes ago, so I don't need a reminder....
They have some great footage and don't need to do this to fill minutes...

Die Ou JagterBillingthewild, it is not some old TV show but a new series. I had taped episode 2 & 3 in the last while and got to views them last evening and I enjoyed them to no end, but that dais ther were some dijointed moments and I am sure it was in the editing. Sorry I didn't pick up the book in Dallas.

If editing offends anyone's delicate sensibilities; you can always watch NASCAR instead. Or show them how. All you'd need is about a quarter million dollars to outfit a film crew, go on Safari, make the quality video, come home, edit it and get some cable channel to run it.

AleAlonsoThanks!
I really like the way Craig writes and hunts. He tells the full story, wether it speaks "good or bad" about him.
I'm purchasing my copy of the book online right now.
Saludos desde Argentina, Alejandro.

billinthewildRio Cuarto...
I have visited your city many times and have enjoyed it. I like the main plaza at night. I have also had the opportunity thanks to a friend whose family lives there, to fly out of your airport in one of the aero club Cessna's.
. Maybe next time I am down we can meet and enjoy a cold Quilmes stout along the plaza....
