The First Ivory Hunter?
31/08/12 07:37 PM

Seeing a book titled "The Last Ivory Hunter" lead me to wonder when the first one was. Romans or somebody probably harvested Ivory with spears or traps, but what I wonder is: when did Ivory hunting with firearms begin, and do we know the names of any of the earliest men to do it? Every time I hear of an early British hunter I am surprised by how early his dates are and think he must have been the first, then I learn of an earlier one! Baldwin in the 1850s is the earliest I have found yet, but he reports that landing in South Africa he found the game fields all shot out and had to walk inland all the way to the upper Zambezi river to get his sport!
