Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Central African Game and Its Spoor This handbook is intended as a help or guide to the young or inexperienced sportsman who intends making a hunting trip to Central Africa. Spoor cannot be put on paper to exactly resemble the real thing. In drawing these spoor the outlines have been well defined, and it must be noted that they are taken from picked specimens (distinct impressions in the soil). As may be surmised the finding and sketching of these spoor and dung has cost not a little time and trouble, and in the case of the lesser known or scarcer animals much questioning of native hunters before the information has been deemed reliable enough to be put on paper. It will take months, and perhaps years, of hard experience to tell at a glance to what animal a footprint belongs, and the authors themselves have often felt the want of some fairly reliable handbook while in the field, especially on going to a new country and meeting with species they have not seen before. Before one can question a native a certain knowledge of the language is necessary, and this in itself takes much study. The authors, therefore, have given the native names of the different game. Many of the ideas and conclusions put forward by the authors may not meet with the approval of perhaps older and more experienced sportsmen, but at the same time they are the result of experience. And differences of Opinion concerning the habits of animals arise between most sportsmen, no two holding exactly the same views. It will be noticed that the words generally, often, or usually are of frequent occurrence in describing the habits of animals. We think it the greatest mistake to say that any animal will do this or that. As the behaviour of no two animals is any more alike than that of two human beings. Moreover the same animal may have totally different habits in different localities. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1906 edition. Excerpt: ... 51 is almost useless, for it is tempered too highly, and the blade is so thick that after it has got blunt it cannot be sharpened properly without the aid of a grindstone. Never buy a knife with a folding handle, for after a little wear the spring weakens, and it is apt to close on one's hand, and besides, if the knife was wanted in an emergency it would be useless, for it takes two hands to open it. A few common butcher's skinning knives should be included to give the natives for skinning game. These can be bought for about is. For skinning small birds nothing is better than a small penknife; it can be hung on the belt swivel, and should be provided with a shackle for this purpose. If a man is going in for collecting birds he should bring out a small 410 "collector's" gun, with cartridges loaded with No. 10 shot, and a few No. 6 for the larger specimens. If a rook rifle is taken a '220 or '250 bore is large enough, for it will mainly be used for killing birds for the pot, and small mammalia such as cats, &c The cartridges for the rook rifle should be loaded with smokeless powder in preference to black, as it makes less noise, and some of the bullets should have hollow points, which increase their killing power. When one is on a trip after big game it is not advisable to fire off shot-guns in the vicinity, for this would be likely to scare away the game, whereas the report of a small rook rifle would not be heard at a great distance. It is also useful for practice on off days and helps to keep one's eye in. A pair of good field glasses is a necessity, and doubtless the latest form of prism glasses will be chosen. A magnifying power of eight diameters is strong enough for all purposes. The native hunter could carry the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from After Big Game in Central Africa: Records of a Sportsman From August 1894 to November 1897, When Crossing the Dark Continent From the Mouth of the Zambesi to the French Congo The detailed narrative Of my journey through Central Africa, from the Zambesi to the French Congo, with its incidents, its vicissitudes, its dis coveries, and its results, will be found in another work. Here I propose only to relate matters Of sport as they occur to me, without Obliging myself to follow their chronological order. I shall guard myself against the desire to make the reader be present at the death Of my 500 victims, which would be very monotonous to him; for, after all, though circumstances may vary, the result Of a hunt after wild animals is always the same. There will be found in this volume, therefore, only the principal episodes Of my most recent years in hunting, with the addition Of some notes on the habits of African fauna.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Game of British East Africa Civilisation is advancing with such rapid strides in British East Africa that year by year it becomes more difficult to find and observe game still undisturbed by the sportsman and hunter. Another generation and perhaps there will be little or no opportunities of observing these animals as they existed before the net of civilisation had been drawn round them. It thus behoves anyone who has had the fortune to be thrown much with wild and unsophisticated animals to leave as careful a record as possible of their ways and manners of living while there is still opportunity, and to study them in their natural state. It is this consideration which has induced me to attempt the task of describing the wild life of the country to the best of my ability. I quite realise that I am not specially qualified for the work, and that there are many with greater experience of the country and game than I possess. However, I hope that perhaps in later years, when the lion no longer roars over the plain and the rhino has ceased to wander in the open, that this book, in conjunction with many others of a similar nature, may be of some little value in reconstructing what will then be past natural history.

Download or read book The Big Game of Africa (Classic Reprint) written by Richard Tjader and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Big Game of Africa This volume is not only a narrative of my own wanderings and experiences in that continent, but is also intended to be a guide book to those many who are interested in the life and habits of the African game animals as well as in the best way of stalking these with either camera or gun. For in the many good books on hunting in the Dark Continent, little or nothing has been said that may help the would-be African big game hunter in the selection of the proper outfit, guns, cameras, curing materials, etc., nor do they give him any definite information as to where, when and how to secure the game he wants, and none of them contains the most necessary introduction to the ki-swahili language, even a slight knowledge of which will prove of immense help to the sportsman when hunting in British East Africa, German East Africa and Uganda. This book is the result of my own experiences and observations during three different expeditions to British East Africa, and con tains the most reliable information I was able to obtain from other sportsmen and professional hunters, as well as from the wild sons of that wonderful game country who, themselves, spend most of their lives roaming around among the Big Game of Africa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mancala, the National Game of Africa The comparative study of games is one that promises an important contribution to the history of culture. The questions involved in' their w diffusion over the earth are among the vital ones that confound the ethnologist. Their origins are lost in the unwritten history of the child hood of man. Mancala is a game that is remarkable for its peculiar distribution, which seems to mark the limits of Arab culture, and which has just penetrated our own continent after having served for ages to divert the inhabitants of nearly half the inhabited area of the globe.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great and Small Game of Africa: An Account of the Distribution, Habits, and Natural History of the Sporting Mammals, With Personal Hunting Experiences It is not claimed for this work that it is complete and final. 'africa is not yet fully explored, and although during the last half - century that great continent has yielded up innumerable secrets of zoology, the discoveries of recent years suggest that forms of animal life, at present unknown to science, may still be awaiting the. Naturalist and the hunter in the remoter and still unknown regions of the interior. It may, however, be claimed that, concerning known species, as much information as it is possible to comprise within the limits of one stout volume is to be found within the following pages. This information has been conveyed in a reasonably popular form, and the non-scientific reader should have little difficulty in laying his finger quickly upon the facts of which he may be in search. It should add to the interest of readers to know that the great bulk of the book has been contributed by well - known African sportsmen, who have had intimate personal experience of the animals of which they treat. These experiences have often extended over a space of many years - Mr. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Wild Life in Central Africa (Classic Reprint) written by Denis D. Lyell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wild Life in Central Africa This book is a simple account of the ripe experience of ten years spent in Central Africa, which is the tract of country known as Nyasaland and north-eastern Rhodesia. The former protectorate used to be known as British Central Africa, and the latter territory is now amalgamated iwith north-western Rhodesia, known collectively as Northern Rhodesia, to distinguish it from Southern Rhodesia, which embraces the old-time territories of Matabeleland and Mashonaland. For the last ten years I have spent a wandering sort of life in Nyasaland and north-eastern Rhodesia, so, to get a short and descriptive title, I use the title Wild Life in Central Africa. I am afraid this is rather a disjointed kind of volume, digressions are frequent, and possibly there is a certain amount of repetition. For this I can only plead that I have suffered much from malarial fever, both in India and Central Africa, and my memory is such that I sometimes forget what I have written soon afterwards.
