It struck me too. These colonial frenchies were a funny lot but to this point?
I suspect that a hunter was so in love with his deceased dog that it seems normal for him to display it for a group picture with its former pals???????? The whole pack is reunited.

loonies.

I don't want to slander, but for sure most of the colonisers in Australia, US, Canada, India Africa were characters in every senses of the term.

It is a term used here as well... I don't think that it is a country saying... more based on the 'Old Age' of the person remembering the saying that's why we both know it

Leopard skins belong to the past. Then there was no CITES and it was the wild dream of any lady to get a leopard coat. Now impossible and politically taboo.
Formerly tom was a vermin, now he's valueless. Thanks to its cunning, tom is still very present and keeping an ultra-low profile under any radars.

AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY OF AFRICAN BIG GAME HUNTING BOOKS 1785 to 1999

by Dr. Kenneth Czech

Printed in an edition of 500 copies
311 pages 32 Colored illustrations

Price (USD): $85.00

Special postage applies: US $13.00; Foreign $33.00


Whether you are interested in the old classics or the modern ones (or both), whether you want to read about Tanganyika or Tanzania, hodesia or Zimbabwe, Northern Rhodesia or Zambia, there are literally hundreds of books described to whet your big game hunting reading appetite.

Eleven years ago, Ken Czech produced a much needed bibliography of African hunting books, but it only went up to 1950. It was a publishing success but a great number of our customers—big game hunters, big game hunting book collectors and casual readers of big game hunting books—wanted a work that included books from the great African hunting era of the 1950s and through the 1990s.

In this work, they have been granted their wish. In addition, a number of titles, especially the elusive privately printed ones, came to light. The result, a current, vastly expanded (almost double the number of entries) annotated bibliography that will be appreciated by all big game hunting aficionados and considered essential for collectors, dealers, historians, and armchair safari enthusiasts.

This bibliography gives a complete physical description of the books, notes illustrations and presence of maps, and mentions whether the books were issued with dust jackets. In addition, there is a description of the countries hunted, the locale where the hunting occurred and the game bagged. Often the name of the Professional Hunter is included as well.

And for those who like stories of exploration and hunting, or pioneer settlers and their adventures as they opened the African frontiers, Ken Czech has included books that contain both hunting and exploration, hunting and settling, and hunting and traveling. After all, the earliest rugged individuals who ventured into the African interior were explorers, soldiers or missionaries who hunted in order to survive. Their tales are every bit as exciting as those of the earliest big game hunters and men who hunted (mainly ivory) for a living.

In addition there is a section showing colored illustrations of 32 of the books.

All these things combine to make this a work that is not likely to be surpassed for its historical and literary aspects, and general appeal to a broad market segment. From the first stalwart individuals who ventured to Africa, to the more recent groups of intrepid sportsmen who trod the game paths across the Dark Continent, virtually all of those who have recounted their efforts in book form (prior to 2000), are represented
here.

As North America’s premier dealer in antiqarian big game hunting books (as well as a publisher of fine signed limited edition African hunting books), we are proud to have published this important work.

"Cecil the Lion: Shocking pictures reveal a history of big game hunting

15:00, 29 Jul 2015
Updated 15:30, 29 Jul 2015
By Kirstie McCrum

There's been outrage over a hunter's slaying of Cecil the lion but the tradition of hunting has been around for as long as man
Getty 1961, Royal Tour to Nepal, A general scene during a Tiger hunt which Queen Elizabeth II attended




Queen's role: In a 1961 Royal Tour to Nepal Queen Elizabeth II attended a tiger hunt

The killing of much-loved lion Cecil has brought international condemnation of the American dentist who fired the fatal arrow.

But there is a history of big game hunting which spreads further than American tourists to Africa.

King Edward VIII of England and Queen Elizabeth II are two British royals who have been involved in big game hunt expeditions on their travels.

Pictures have been released showing some of the 43 registered animal kills by Cecil's shooter, father-of-two Walter Palmer from Minnesota.

Getty Man with hunting 'trophies', a photograph of a man surrounded by hunting 'trophies', taken by Roper for the Daily Herald newspaper on 6 January, 1938. The 'trophies' include a red-fronted




gazelle and an African buffalo, both shot on safari by King George VI (1895-1952), an avid hunstsman
Royal touch: Man with hunting 'trophies' taken by Roper for the Daily Herald newspaper on January 6, 1938 - they include a red-fronted gazelle and an African buffalo, both shot on safari by King George VI, an avid hunstsman




Collector's burden: American big game hunter Henry A Snow holds a Winchester M1895 rifle and squats by the mouthparts of an African savannah elephant. Snow collected over 150 mammals and 1,500 birds




Big game hunter Alejandro Siemel of Brazil pictured beside his hut in the jungle diplaying a collection of skins of jaguars that he had killed with gun and bayonet during a ten week holiday
Hunting break: Alejandro Siemel of Brazil pictured beside his hut in the jungle displaying a collection of skins of jaguars that he had killed with gun and bayonet during a ten-week holiday

But these images which capture Queen Ratna Rajya Lakshmi Devi of Nepal, King Edward VIII of England and even remind us of Queen Elizabeth II's 1961 Nepal trip which included a tiger hunt show that the rich and powerful have long been part of the hunting world.

Although cave dwellers were know to go on hunts, they were generally thought to be seeking food rather than trophies.

From the 19th century, Europeans began to look on big game hunting as something to bring back a souvenir from, with antlers, pelts, horns and more being displayed as a sign of their prowess.




Big killers: Coloman Jonas in The Denver Post-Glenwood Springs Lion Hunt, which starts March 18, 1932, shown in his office with the heads and pelts of "killers of three continents" slain by him

Big game: WW Robinson, surrounded by trophies of his African safaris, is the new chairman of the acquistions committee for the City Park Zoo in 1969

North American people undertook hunting for food and sustenance around the same period, but now wealthy residents are more often involved as Walter Palmer in a sort of 'sport'.

Safaris are run in African countries which allow access to the animals for hunters who pay the highest prices.

Palmer is believed to have paid £35,000 to shoot and kill Cecil with a bow and arrow.



1940-1949, Wife of the sportsman and herself a big game hunter; Mrs. Helen Lerner; who went along in the search for specimens; poses with a lion she shot in the African jungle. The trip through the African wilds was arduous.

A woman's power: Queen Ratna Rajya Lakshmi Devi, wife of King Mahendra of Nepal, with a tiger she shot in 1960

He has claimed he relied on professional guides to find a lion and obtain the necessary permits.

And professional hunter Theo Bronkhorst and farm owner Honest Ndlovu have been charged with poaching offences over the death.

Here's a handy guide explaining the legalities of big game hunting.
