BIG RUAHA CAMP, Tanganyika—The talking. drums tell me that a magazine piece has recently been published in the states with a title as follows: “They Hunt Big Game in Taxicabs.” The dateline was Nairobi—which might make the plece accurate, Outside the national parks, where hunting {s forbidden, there is nothing bigger than‘a | squirrel worth shooting within | a hard day's drive of the city. There seems to be an ‘idea that big game hunt'ng is a snap, and entirely devoid of danger. It is neither, It is damned hard work and every- ¥ thing you shoot can be dan- Hf gerous if you are careless, For “Sil an example, I saw a skilled \ hunter narrowly escape, serious wi injury from a wounded zebra. which came to life and pinned him against the shooting car, with hoofs flashing and mouth wide open. A big zebra can take your arm off with a bite. Our friend Tony Dyer, a white hunter, is currently in the hospital with twd tremendous wounds. A buffalo soaked up a dozen shots and still had enough energy left to toss Tony twice. Within the last year, four white hunters and one client were excessively rumped by rhino, buffalo and leopard.

ANOTHER FRIEND, Tommy Shevlin, hunting with the ‘dean of the professionals, Philip Percival, once was charged by three rhino simultaneously, and they had to shoot all three. The last of the trio fell across Percival’'s body as Shevlin shot it at about three feet, And a rhino weighs over two tons. Even the innocent can harm vou. It sounds incredible, but Fred Poliman, a white hunter, was stabbed through the hand by a dying tommy

who come on safari and brag that they can split a pencil at 400 yards. “Fine,” they say. “Double dandy. But how is he at shooting a buffalo at six feet?” “> db

MY BOY SELBY, by those standards, i adequate. His last buffalo took one over the right eve, under the left eye, and through the left eye When he slid to a halt he was something under five feet from Harry. I suppose there is a type of hunter who comes out here and then asks his professional to shoot the game for him, and I suppose there are others who send the hired hunter into bush after an animal they've wounded. My lad has fired twice on this trip, both times at buffalo, and both shots intended as finishers after I'd placed the first pellet. One was unnecessary and the other didn't stop the old m'hogo. We had to go into the bush after him, anyhow, As for the ease of the thing, we have devoted two full weeks to awful, arduous, dusty travel between shooting camps, and have averaged over 100 miles per day while hunting in the car, We have averaged about 10 miles a day of walking over mountains and through swamps, There has been no day when we were up after dawn or returned before black dark.

one thing it's against the law, and for another, it isn’t any fun, because the animal doesn’t recognize the car as hostile and holds still for its approach.# Also, there's no element of risk, and the risk element is what makes it fascinating. I have never encountered a more highly developed standard of ethics than that exhibited daily by a professional hunter who takes pride in his work or a client who is trying to extract the last drop of juicy sport from the chase.
