Fascinating!
Macdonald Hastings writes that the Marquis of Ripon's 500,000 critters were shot prior to his ceasing to keep records in 1913. When did he quit shooting, and when did he die?

Damn! A 'revised and enlarged edition'...!
Looks like I'm going to have to buy that one too!
(My current copy is dated August 1978, rather dog-eared these days!)

That's a great read! I brought that book with me to Argentina, and it went round and round between 12 of us. All of us enjoyed it.
