MERE INFO
This is the revised and updated edition of On the Trail of the African Elephant, the most thorough book ever written on the African elephant from a hunter's point of view. This latest book from prolific author Tony Sanchez-Ariño is full of historical and recent anecdotes, information, stories, and photos of the African elephant and its hunters. Sanchez covers the illustrious ivory hunters of yesteryear as well as the biggest tuskers shot in recent times. Some highlights from the book include: a country by country overview of elephant populations and trophy potential; diagrams for shot placement; maps of elephant populations and hunting areas; and locations where the best-quality tusks are found. Tony also discusses how elephant hunts are conducted and what rifles and calibers to take?all interspersed with Tony's own elephant hunting experiences. Illustrated with some of the most amazing historical photos of giant tusked bull elephants ever seen as well as rarities such as a four-tusked elephant. Sanchez has spent nearly fifty years hunting elephant in Africa and still is a professional hunter in Africa today. No other book on elephants, ivory, and hunters comes anywhere close to this magnificent tribute to one of the world's greatest game animals.
