African Safari Big Game Hunting; Mahohboh, Thomson: Elephants, Signed

Description: African Safari Big Game Hunting; Mahohboh, Thomson: Elephants, Signed This book has been acclaimed by many to be the most definitive work on elephant hunting ever written. It contains a background that explains elephant management in a manner that is, inter alia, supportive of elephant hunting. Shot placement is a major part of the book’s message; and explaining just how to get a bullet into an elephant’s brain is a major objective. The heart and lung shots are described; and the value of crippling shots into the spine and hip joints - when wounded elephants are running away - is also emphasized. Pictures of an elephant bull carcass - propped up on its brisket and cut in half longitudinally - photographically illustrate the positions of the vital organs. The latter half of the book contains some of the author’s most exciting elephant hunting stories - which are NOT repeated in the big game hunting memoir series. This makes MAHOHBOH an essential ‘companion book’ to the big game hunting memoir series. Many foreign hunters - new to elephant hunting - are said to read MAHOHBOH assiduously before coming to Africa; and that when they are out in the bush elephant hunting, they carry a copy of MAHOHBOH in one hand and their rifle in the other! This book, therefore, has made a great impression on many wannabe elephant hunters when they come to Africa on their first elephant hunting adventures. Hardbound 1st edition 310 pages, 1997.
