"Hogs have overrun America: They are found in the middle of our biggest cities and they cause untold millions of damage to farmlands and manicured gardens alike. Where did all these swine come from and how did they land up on American shores where they do not belong? The history of the hog in America is a long one that dates all the way back to the period of Columbus. Since that time no large feral animal has more successfully established itself and none has endured more attempts by the hand of man in controlling its numbers than the hog." The author gives us a comprehensive history of the feral pig in America; where they occur, how and with what to hunt them, how to trap them if they cannot be shot, what to be careful of (lots, apparently), and what methods to use to help you get your hog. There is also a good section on the javelina, a very distant cousin of the feral pig. A thorough and all-inclusive appendix covers a remarkably broad array of hog and javelina facts, stats and terminology, and further reading in case swine fever has struck you. Chapters include: History of wild hogs in North America; The Texas invasion; Status and distribution of wild hogs in North America; The biology of a wild hog; The bad, the good, and the ugly; Boar stories; Wild hog management; Hog trapping; Javelina - an American original; Hunting the wild hog and javelina; The taste of wild pork; A state-by-state overview of laws and regulations; Final thoughts. Appendices include: Facts, fantasies, myths; Results of study into the food habits and seasonal food components in the diets of feral hogs; Hog terminology; References and selected reading. "This is an animal we will have to live with no matter what and will likely be around as long as rats and coyotes, which is forever. This book will help you hunt them . . . or to cope." .

He was with Julian Duguid on the "Green Hell" expedition, following the route of the Conquistadores from the Upper Paraguay River to the Andes. "Sasha Siemel was a figure of monumental importance on the American hunting-world stage of the 1930s, '40s, '50s, and '60s. He was unique not only as a hunter but also as a man. He is the only known white man to have fought the fierce jungle jaguars of Brazil with a spear, and as a man, he made a stand for decency in everything he did. This was a man who believed in the ideals of freedom, adventure, honor, family, home, and courage-ideals he upheld throughout his life." Born and brought up in Latvia, Siemel travelled to Chicago at the age of sixteen before moving to Argentina to be with family. "Once in South America he found a job as a mechanic, but he was soon drawn to the vast wilderness of the Mato Grosso. His dream was to become a jaguar hunter in the endless grasslands and marshes of the Pantanal, where big game flourished and where courteous Brazilian ranchers pursued rugged lives." .

That experience is why this book is such an important contribution to the literature of the hunting/shooting world. Starting with the barrel, Boddington steps us through every single element that makes an accurate (or not so accurate) rifle. These elements include the different actions; stocks, bedding, and vibrations; good-quality triggers and how to control them; the variables in cartridge design; factory ammo; handloading for serious accuracy (by Paul Massaro); the accuracy of the various bullet designs; breaking in a rifle in; how to clean a rifle; open sights; and scopes and mounts. Boddington delves into good shooting positions; rests; how to shoot long range, and a host of other serious topics that will improve your shooting with a rifle. Ultimately, he discusses the single biggest factor of all as far as accuracy is concerned - the human element." .

(Hardcover, 2017). (2016) 2017 2nd edition. Square 4to (272 x 261mm). Ppxviii,254. Colour photographs throughout, b/w photographs, decorative end-papers. Brown boards, spine titled in gilt. Fine copy in slightly used dust-wrapper. "Great African Trophies is a photographic showcase of some of the greatest game trophies ever taken on the Dark Continent, and it includes elephants, buffalo, the big cats, spiral-horned antelopes, and dozens of other magnificent animals. The focus is on animals that rank in the top five of each species in the Safari Club International and Rowland Ward record books, but also included are historic, unlisted, and little-known trophies, along with their stories." Nothing fascinates like ivory, and tuskers known to be in the top ten of Rowland Ward are huge, yet there are other giant tuskers that were never recorded but would fall in the top ten, and all of these have marvellous stories to tell. An extravagantly produced coffee-table book. .

Condición: new. (Hardcover, 2017). 2017 1st edition. 4to (198 x 262mm). Ppxxviii,308. B/w photographs, b/w illustrations by the author, maps. Tan and maroon cloth, gilt elephant motif and titles to upper board and spine. Maroon slipcase. Edition limited to 1000 copies. Mint unread copy in slipcase. Numbered copy from an edition limited to 1000 copies. A brand new compilation of Karamojo Bell's short stories, all previously unpublished. "Once again the legendary Karamojo Bell marches through the wilds of Africa-traversing a land virtually untouched by modern civilization in search of adventure and ivory. Join us as Bell takes us to a land with vast herds of wildlife living in rough equilibrium with the native human populations. Through his earlier books Bell gained the reputation for being an excellent marksman who shot small-caliber guns at giant elephants with deadly precision. Bell was best known for his exploits in Karamoja, in what is now largely Uganda, and in these newly unearthed short stories, we again find him in familiar terrain and with his faithful retinue of trackers and camp followers. We also find Bell in unfamiliar terrain. Travel with Bell to the French Congo where he encounters a man-eating leopard, and go along with him to West Africa when he ventures into the rain forest with the Pygmies to test his luck against elephants in dense vegetation. Then there are some wonderfully descriptive stories of an elephant camp and its social life, crocodiles that menace a village, several hunts for elephants on islands in the Ubangi River (not for the faint of heart!), and a trip from Kano to Khartoum via motor car. These are just a few of our cache of new stories - original adventures never before published." This first edition, the 85th volume in the publisher's Classics in African Hunting series, is limited to only 1,000 numbered copies. The format of the binding has been designed to mirror that of Bell's first book, the 1923 first edition of Wanderings of an Elephant Hunter. Introductory material by Ludo J. Wurfbain, J.H. Cleave and Frank Wallace. .
