I agree with Dangerous Game Rifles, though I'm anything but an expert. I found the book informative and entertaining, not an easy feat.

I've been sorely tempted to order Terry's "View From a Tall Hill" because I've really enjoyed a few other of his writings, especially "Spiral Horn Dreams", which I high recommend. Unfortunately, I've ordered several months worth of reading for recovering from back surgery, mainly focusing on sheep (argali) hunting in Asia. I'll see if I can bump into Terry at SCI or the ACGG show in January and pick up "View". With Terry's writing skills, I'm sure he's done Ruark proud and should be a fantastic read.

Terry is one of the writers I have a great deal of respect for. His early days were spent doing "guerrilla journalism" of the many African conflicts - free lance. Something that he was paid more in adventure and making bones than in income, I'm sure. Some might say the boy was "a might touched in the head" for doing what he did. For whatever the reason, we are all the richer for it.
