Book Synopsis Big Game Shooting (Classic Reprint) by : Clive Phillipps-Wolley
Download or read book Big Game Shooting (Classic Reprint) written by Clive Phillipps-Wolley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Big Game Shooting is a book full of both fascinating tales and practical advice on a kind of hunting that has gone quite seriously out of fashion. This is both a collection of stories about hunting big game and an instructional on topics of interest to the avid marksman. The book is separated into chapters, of which Clive Phillipps-Wolley has authored four, with guest contributors responsible for the remaining sections. Chapters vary in terms of scope, with some examining a single breed of game and others more broadly discussing a topic of interest to the hunting community. Specific topics detailed including arctic hunting, the stag of the Alps, the Scandinavian elk, the large game of Spain and Portugal, and several others. The book transitions to a series of instructional chapters that focus on setting up camps and transportation, selecting rifles and ammunition, and hints on preservation and taxidermy. The title is concluded by a detailed appendix. Big Game Shooting is a work that will appeal to the hunting enthusiast. The first-hand accounts of hunting expeditions that form the largest section of the book are entertaining and educational. The instructional chapters can be read both practically and as a text illuminating the history of hunting practices. While Clive Phillipps-Wolley receives credit as the primary author, all of the included writers provide meaningful contributions to the work. While the practice of shooting big game is less than highly regarded among environmentally concious individuals much of this advice will also help those "hunting" with a camera. The tales of hunting expeditions are entertaining, and the advice provided practical. Big Game Shooting is a worthwhile read.

Book Synopsis Big Game Shooting in Alaska (Classic Reprint) by : C. R. E. Radclyffe

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Big Game Shooting in Alaska In submitting this small work to the criticisms of brother sportsmen, or others of the reading public into whose hands it may fall, it is the earnest desire of the author that the following facts may be borne in mind during its perusal: Firstly, that it is not the outcome of a wild desire on the part of the writer to rush into print and air his own views on certain matters, or to lay down, after spending only one season in Alaska, any hard and fast rules as to the habits of certain kinds of game, and the best mode of killing them. Such a mistake is only too common on the part of many young sportsmen, and even of others of more mature years in search of small notoriety. Men of far greater experience on the same subjects hesitate to express any opinion, or to place on record in print any of their own ideas, for fear of appearing ridiculous in the eyes of a very few who may know more about these matters than the writers themselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Big Game Shooting, Vol. 1 It rather seems as if we were coming just now to something like a parting of the ways in the history of the Big Game of the world. For many years, ever since the introduction of efficient firearms, man has been shooting beast to such an extent that it seemed likely that the future author who took up his pen to write about Big Game would be able to dispose of them as briefly as the scribe of the famous chapter on snakes in Iceland. Thanks, however, to an appreciation of the imminent risk of this extinction, and partly to some very striking object lessons, such as the extermination in the unprotected state of the American bison, more or less stringent game laws, more or less thoroughly enforced, are now the rule rather than the exception over the greater part of the globe.

These great forest reservations thus become the nurseries and breeding-grounds of game and of the large wild animals which are elsewhere inevitably exterminated by the march of settlement. Already several such reservations have been established in different States, both by Na tional and by State action - for instance, the Adirondack Reserve in New York, the Col orado Canon Reserve in Arizona, the big timber reserves in Colorado and Washing ton, the island set apart in Alaska as an undisturbed breeding-ground for salmon and sea-fowl, the Yosemite Valley and the Se.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Good Hunting: In Pursuit of Big Game in the West It is interesting, also, to remember that the influence of the author has been con stantly exerted in favor of the preserva tion of big game and the maintenance of national parks and forest reserves, which, in addition to other advantages, include the protection of these noble forms of animal life. This series of articles upon big-game hunting was written for H arper's Round Table, and published therein in 1897. The picture of ranch-life which forms the closing chapter appeared in H arper's Round Table in 1896. These articles are now presented together in book form for the first time after consultation with the author. For the title of the book and the proof-reading the publishers are te sponsible.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Big-Game Shooting in Upper Burma For the rest, I have only to say that I make no pretensions to the possession of literary talent, and beg my readers to excuse the lack of style which I fear the following pages will too surely portray. But I would ask them to believe that everything the book contains is the result of my own observations and experiences, and that I have in no way culled from others either descriptions or facts which I have been unable to corroborate. I am indebted to the American Baptist Mission Press, Rangoon, for the excellent map which accompanies this volume. It is hoped that the list of shooting localities at the end of the book, and the glossary of Burmese words likely to occur daily in the jungle, will be of use to those who are new to the country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Rifle Shooting In my first book on Revolver Shooting, (published in 1901), I drew attention to the dangerous consequences which a nation may incur when excessive devotion to such games as cricket, golf and football, leads its men to ignore the art of handling firearms. Many partisans of these games were indignant at my remarks, but two regrettable wars have had a salutary influence in this respect. Public opinion now endorses my doctrine of the absolute necessity that every able-bodied man should be able to bring at least as much skill to the handling of a rifle as he evinces with the cricket bat or golf club. A second desideratum mooted in my book - that advancing civilisation ought to subordinate the arbitrament of arms to the decisions of an international Court of Arbitration, has, unfortunately, not been fulfilled as yet, though matters are trending that way. Until it is so fulfilled, men must be taught the proper handling of a rifle. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Big Game Shooting on the Equator Sport in East Africa can hardly be said to be within the reach Of a poor man unless he is a resident, in which case opportunities will occur without much expense but the traveller must face a certain outlay in connection with the equipment Of his caravan, and is warned not to be too Spartan or to run risks Of exposure, for, excellent as the climate is, the dangers of both sunstroke and chill are very real and very terrible to the imprudent. Financially East African travelling has this advantage, that you know the expense beforehand. The cost of a caravan can be caleu lated, and once it is paid for, it is impossible to spend money when on the march.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rifles and Shotguns: The Art of Rifle and Shotgun Shooting for Big Game and Feathered Game, With Special Chapters on Military Rifle Shooting And for the hunter it must be realized that systems, designed to make target scorers out general average of humanity, will not fit one for the crucial moment of big game shooting, nor will trap shooting ever make a wingshot who can knock down his bird with a swift snap in the thick brush.

The free, self-reliant, adventurous life, with its rugged and stalwart democracy; the wild surroundings, the grand beauty of the scenery, the chance to study the ways and habits of the woodland creatures - all these unite to give to the career of the wilderness hunter its peculiar charm. The chase is among the best Of all national pastimes; it cultivates that vigorous manliness for the lack Of which in a nation, as in an individual, the possession of no other qualities can possibly atone.

This book was released on 2017-11-09 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Large Game Shooting in Thibet, the Himalayas, Northern and Central India Many years have now elapsed since I published the two volumes of Large Game Shooting in Thibet and the north-west, and six years have passed since the appearance of my book in its present one-volume form. During both intervals of time I have considerably extended my wanderings, and although I have not enjoyed such a large share of leave as formerly, I have had opportunities of enlarging my experience, and have added a good many animals to my collection. I had hoped at one time to bag every sort of Large Game to be found on the continent of India, and to make my book a complete guide for the sportsmen of all three Presidencies. As, however, I see no immediate prospect of my ambition being gratified, I have restricted the 800138 of my work, and confined myself to Northern and Central India, within the limits of which few Large Game animals exist that are not described in the present volume.
