    Hey SA, 'A Hunter's Wanderings in Africa - Frederick Courtenay Selous' did he create the Rhodesian Selous scouts?

    no offence to anyone related to him or that knows him but the worst out of my big collection of African and NZ hunting books would easily be
    "Hunter Climb High" by some NZ fella.

    Lol- he's my great uncle - Keith Severinsen. I didnt know him very well. He died in 2005. That book is a hard to read. It was his first I think.. 'Tracks of a hunter' and 'hunt the far mountain' are a lot easier to read. It was reading these when I was younger that got me interested in deer hunting.
    If my work annoys me, I cull them
