A collection of worldwide outdoors sporting action by a writer who "keeps the tradition of great safari adventure alive" ( African Expedition Gazette ).
Stockbroker-turned-outdoorsman Peter Hathaway Capstick recalls his days as an African pro hunter in "The Killer Baboons of Vlackfontein." "Four Fangs in a Treetop" records a foray into British Honduras for the jaguar, "a gold-dappled teardrop of motion." Capstick narrowly escapes the Yellow Beard, Central America's deadly tree-climbing snake, and cows "The Black Death" (Cape buffalo) in the kind of article that makes this author "the guru of American hunting fans" ( New York Newsday). On Brazil's forsaken Marajo Island, he bags the pugnacious red buffalo, which has the "temperament of a constipated Sumo wrestler and the tenacity of an IRS man."
The author discusses 12- and 20-gauge shotgun loads; recalls the pleasures of "biltong" (African beef jerky); describes the irresistible homemade lures of snook fishing expert John Gorbatch; and kills a genteel take of Atlantic salmon with the brilliantly simple tube fly.
Features more than thirty gorgeous drawings by famous wildlife artist Dino Paravano.
