    Book SynopsisMuch has been said in recent years about shooting only completely mature, solidly bossed Cape or southern buffalo bulls for trophy purposes. But what does such a bull really look like? Can you tell the difference between a trophy bull and a younger or medium-age bull with soft bosses that still has breeding potential? What are the characteristics of a true trophy bull? The questions most commonly asked on a buffalo safari are a) “What sex is that buffalo?” b) “How old is it?” c) “Where do I shoot it?” and d) “How big is the trophy?”. All the answers are here in this compact, pocket-size book that not only gives you instant comparisons but also shows you precisely where to shoot and what the trophy is like, age- and size-wise. There are probably more African buffaloes hunted today than at any time since WWII, for they are the most accessible and affordable member of the fabled Big Five. Make the most of your hunt and get to know beforehand what a good, mature buffalo looks like, where to shoot it, and how to judge its sex, age, and trophy potential before you follow their tracks and come face to face with a tangle of horns and a press of dark bodies in thick vegetation. That’s when you’ll need to make a quick decision, and this invaluable, fit-in-any-pocket guide will help! Don’t go on safari without one!

  • Elephant!: The Renaissance of Hunting the African

    Safari Press,U.S. Elephant!: The Renaissance of Hunting the African

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisElephant hunting literature is rich and varied and has brought forth some of the most memorable writings on Africa ever. However, very little is ever written on modern elephant hunting. And strange as it may seem, many of the largest elephants shot in the history of Africa have actually been shot in the last fifty years. And while shooting a hundred pounder is now a very rare occurrence, it may fairly be said that the average weight of ivory shot on safari has risen and risen over the last fifteen years, bringing with it a period that might well be called the renaissance of elephant hunting. Craig Boddington has been fortunate enough to have shot elephants in some of Africa’s modern hot spots, including Mozambique, southern Tanzania, Botswana, and Namibia. Here is a book on how elephants are hunted today and where the best places are to find them. Included are stories about hunts that any one of us could experience

    Book SynopsisThe Sports Afield Book of Hunting and Shooting Records and Facts 2015 is an entertaining and eclectic collection of remarkable feats, surprising facts, interesting trivia, and sensational coincidences from the world of big-game hunting, bird hunting and shooting. This is a collection of historical anecdotes, not a comprehensive book of records of trophies and game bags of the world; its goal is to present surprising and interesting facts about animals and hunters, as well as amazing and outstanding feats from the field. Gathered from a wide variety of sources, the stories come from Europe and Asia as well as North and South America, and anecdotes range from amazing and impressive to shocking and hilarious. In short, they are incredible, but true. * Did you know that a single German prince in the 1600s killed more than 31,000 wild boars over his lifetime? * Have you heard of Sasha Siemel, who dispatched some 300 jaguars using only a spear? * Did you know that the big-game animal that lives at the highest altitude is not a wild sheep or ibex, but a yak?

    Safari Press,U.S. Hell, I'm Still Here!: Fifty Years a Gunwriter

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisNobody has seen or done it all, but Jon Sundra has come as close as anyone. He wrote his first article in 1966, and by the early 1970s had risen to prominence at a time when the Golden Era of American outdoor writers was in full swing. The next thirty-plus years was a time he and his colleagues were routinely invited by Remington, Winchester, Weatherby, and Ruger—and by many foreign gun manufacturers as well—to all-expense-paid jaunts to hunt and visit factories all over the world. It was a time long before the Internet, cable TV, and blogging drastically diluted what had been a very exclusive world, a time when a select handful of men—characters, actually—gathered in venues where little business was accomplished but a helluva lot of good food was consumed and adult beverages quaffed. Sometimes even a few gun-related things were discussed! During this period Jon met all the greats of the shooting and hunting world, and this book gives us an unvarnished look at some of the characters of that regrettably gone era. Jon is still active today, after having undertaken over a hundred hunting trips on five continents, not counting those in the States. This book is primarily not a description of those hunts, but rather a funny, very descriptive picture of an era in which gunwriters were kings of their domain and had egos to match. Jon cavorted with Elmer Keith, Jack O'Connor, Warren Page, Slim Pickens, Charlie Askins, Bill Jordan, Skeeter Skelton, Bob Milek, John Wooters, George Nonte, Jack Lewis, and others, and he has amusing stories to tell of these giants of the gunwriting world. Many of these men got to see Europe, South America, or Africa for the first time because Jon invited them on behalf of his consulting clients. Some of Jon's exploits found him in South America where he discovered some long-forgotten bottles of priceless French wine in an out-of-the-way cantina. He even reveals his criminal past, and how, along with Bob Milek, was almost thrown off a train in Finland. Jon is surely the only gunwriter who owns and drives Lamborghinis, and there's even a chapter on his sporting cars and his sports car races. He travels to Europe two or three times a year on his own nickel on trips having nothing to do with guns or hunting. Today he still writes as field editor for Safari magazine, and is a regular contributor to Rifle Shooter, Gun Digest, and Ballistic magazines. If anyone has ever had a colorful life, surely it's Jon Sundra.

    Book SynopsisTrophies of the Heart is the culmination of the most moving, memorable, and heartfelt hunting stories from the career of one of North America's greatest big game hunters. Thornberry takes us on hunts for the whole range of game the North American continent; however, the focus is on the hunts that had the greatest emotional impact because the greatest trophies of all are the memories that one keeps forever. Trophies of the Heart covers everything from his son's first hunt, to zany and wild stories of taking hunters out to guide. In the tradition of Peter Capstick's stories of the hunting world of Africa, Thornberry has a unique ability to give the reader insights into the hows and whys of big game hunting, while relating all of this in short story fashion.Trade ReviewThis is Russ at his storytelling best, delivering anecdotes from a lifetime of rich adventure afield. -- Mike Handley * Buckmasters *In Thornberry's life there has never been an average day in the wilds. The bizarre and unexpected follow him on every outing. And in the end, he says, the ultimate trophies of the hunt are not the animals themselves, but the memories one keeps in his heart. This, also, is a book that belongs on the true hunter's bookshelf. -- Pat Robertson * State, (Columbia, Sc) *Russell Thornberry tells his trophy tales with relish, looking back on his days as a guide with a warm glow. The accounts, ranging in tone from humorous to spine-tingling, are arranged in five sections: The Antlered Giants, Bears and Scares, Hunting in Thin Air, The Life and Times of an Alberta Whitetail Guide, and One on One with Whitetails. -- Jesse Cryderman * Alloutdoors.Com *This is certainly the best book of its kind that I've ever read. It is an absolute must for anyone who enjoys sitting near a campfire or lounging in a hunting lodge and listening to the inevitable hunting stories. -- Royce Armstrong * Jazz History Online *These are campfire stories of the best kind, told honestly and with all the juicy details. This book is an excellent one to pick up from time to time, reading just a chapter here and there. But be prepared, after the first couple chapters, you may just have to polish the whole thing off in one, fireside-armchair sitting. * American Hunter *One thing that you should get from reading Russell Thornberry's Trophies of the Heart and that is, "when it comes to hunting, the ultimate trophies aren't the animals, but the memories one keeps in one's heart." -- Ed Noonan * The Daily Gazette *This book is from the gut.... The author focused on the hunts that had the greatest emotional impact on him and produced the ultimate trophies: lasting memories. * Tnn Outdoors *

    Book SynopsisJoel Vance, a widely published sports writer, is known for the tremendous sense of humor he brings to his writing. Tail I Lose: Coping With Bird Dogs entertainingly describes the unique love and bonding the working dog and trainer develop—and the crazy, demented lengths to which this bond will take them!Trade ReviewWhat bird dogs do right is astonishing, and what they do wrong is often very funny, especially in Vance's words. He even describes how a bird dog's nose works. The book is not dedicated to Vance's four-legged hunting partners - that honor goes to the humans in his life - but the rest of the book is theirs, with unconditional affection. -- Candus Thompson * Baltimore Sun *When is the last time you read any haiku, much less haiku about bird dogs. You'll get it here with: I lie belly up-In the sunshine, happier than-You ever will be; and, Sleeping here, my chin-On your foot-no greater bill-well-Maybe chasing cats. Then there's another ten or so stories, pure magical stories about gun dogs and their masters, or more correctly, their handlers, as Vance continually points out that it is difficult to determine who masters who. -- Dan Donarski * Sault Evening News- Marie, Mi *Tails I Lose is a fun little read, and at its best when being witty. Although Vance is a Brittany man, the soul of the stories is far from breed specific. In fact, one of the most memorable chapters of the ("Old Friends") is about two-legged hunting companions. -- Matt Crawford * Grouse Point Almanac *Joel Vance's books and articles have always been entertaining and informative. He has written for just about every sporting magazine in existence and has been a fixture at many. This new book chronicles his life around bird dogs, mostly his Brittanys. -- Tony Dolle * Tnn Outdoors *About his latest book, Vance said, "The title popped into my head. Brittainies don't have tails and so much of the book is about things that have happened with the tailless Brits that Tails I Lose seemed to fit - a fitting play on words. -- Barbara Baird * Outdoor Guide *

    Book SynopsisThe image that comes to mind when you think of big game hunters is of African safaris with men carrying enormous guns hunting exotic game. But there were women on those trips as well, and not just the trips to Africa, and they were often as successful at the hunt as the men. Women such as Lady Florence Dixie, Agnes Herbert, Osa Johnson, Grace Gallatin Seton, and Gladys Harriman hunted so well, they made names for themselves and wrote of their adventures. Divided into chapters detailing a specific time period, region hunted or individual woman, With Rifle and Petticoat explores the interesting women who hunted a variety of big game animals around the world.Trade ReviewAmazingly, this book by Ken Czech is the first to deal specifically with woman as big game hunters and authors of big game hunting books. As you will see, their accomplishments in the hunting field have been substantial. -- Ellen Enzler, Herring from the foreword * Guns and Gear *It's not unusual these days to see women hunting deer or other big or small game. But, of course, it hasn't always been so. Czech, a history professor and antiquarian booksller from St. Cloud, writes about the early women who hunted big game, usually with their husbands and often on safaris in Africa. As Czech writes, the story of women as big-game hunters is virtually unknown. Until now. * Star Tribune *With Rifle and Petticoat is a not-to-be-missed read as you share adventures, misadventures and emotions of these intrepid women huners. -- Linda Hoff * Women's Outlook *After closing the back cover of With Rifle and Petticoat, hunters of this century will take pride inthe moxie of the women before them who blazed now forgotten trails into the sport of hunting. -- Marilyn Stone * Women In The Outdoors *We had known from the very first that our men regarded the feminine part of our expedition very much in the light of an American dine show...

It akways seems to me that when anything you have done in the past looms very large and splendid in your eyes, it argues that you have not accomplished much today. -- Agnes Hebert, author of Two Dianas in Alaska * Guns and Gears *Many modern women rightly pride themselves on their savvy in the field. Yet this book, an enjoyable excursion down darkening roads into a past we have largely forgotten, reminds us that in some senses there is nothing new in the world. -- Cindy Ross * Women In The Outdoors *
