993 CA 320 pp. Illustrated. 5x8 inch format. Puxley began his hunting career shortly after the turn of the century and for almost 30 years he followed in African game tracks. He was a contemporary of Neumann, Bell, Sutherland, Lyell, Kirby and Stigand. But his book was printed in a small edition and, until our reprint, was unavailable to the hunting public. Puxley hunted Africa from Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania to Nyasaland, Mozambique, Rhodesia and South Africa. His most exciting moments came when he was about to reach elephants he had been tracking for weeks. There are also adventures with buffalo, lion etc. If in the heart of every man who is half a boy and every boy who is half a man, there is a longing for adventure, then this book satisfies that thirst. Limited to 750 copies, numbered/signed by the publisher.
