I've an old book here that might be of interest to you it once belonged to our old master of hounds and was a book that was well used by him. A famous fox hunter by Thomas Smith?

I had a big ostrich egg until a few weeks ago when it fell off a shelf I'm looking at booking an African safari at the minute. I want to take my young lad so I'm just weighing up options. A financially once in a lifetime trip after something like a cape buffalo bull or something a bit cheaper and safer. Will probably go south Africa on a simple plains game hunt but keep seeing offers for other things but not sure if being responsible for a young un would take the enjoyment out of it.... plus he probably wouldn't appreciate how special hunting a Cameroon bongo would be 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
