A slightly used but solidly intact second-hand paperback. A collection of articles recounting stories gleaned from lore, legend and the sporting press. "Shooting's Strangest Days is a unique collection of stories about the mad, the bad and the truly dangerous to know, from more than two hundred years of sporting shooting. They include mad old colonels who took their trousers off before going elephant hunting, women poachers with terriers sewn into their underskirts, and duck shooters chasing their quarry in helicopters. Tom Quinn covers everything from delightfully dotty Royals, like George V, who always went shooting with a loader deliberately chosen because he looked exactly like the King - to obscure French chamois hunters, South American crocodile stranglers, Russian secret service beaters and suicidal Himalayan goat guides. Shooting's Strangest Days takes an entertaining look at these characters, gathered together here in their vast and until now, long forgotten eccentricity." .…
