Description: HUNTING ON SAFARI IN EAST AND SOUTHERN AFRICA AUBREY WYNNE-JONES SOUTHERN BOOK PUBLISHERS: JOHANNESBURG 1987 The long overdue revision of this comprehensive and beautifully illustrated practical companion for the hunter will be welcomed by everyone in the field of hunting and conservation. Every aspect of hunting in East and Southern Africa is covered in the first part of the book, from the early planning stages to the hunt itself. Step-by-step advice is given on the arrangements to make in advance and the basic requirements and equipment for the trip, including medical precautions. Your choice of trophies and the selection of the appropriate hunting rifle are considered in detail, and you will learn how to site your camp to advantage and how to track the animals in the bush. The second part of the book provides information on all the trophy animals to be found in this region, with a detailed description of each animal, its habitat preferences and habits of relevance to the hunter. Distribution maps accompany the section on each species and magnificent pen-and-ink drawings bring the animals to life and include illustrations of the spoor. Hunting tips on the tactics to adopt for particular game or for a special situation, such as a charging buffalo or tracking a wounded animal, are an important feature. The two best-known systems of trophy measurement, those of Rowland Ward Ltd and Safari Club International, are included as well as a method of recording trophies in the field. Procedures for skinning, drying, storing and packing the trophy, are fully described -and there is a recipe for making biltong!
