1906 BIG GAME HUNTING 1st/1st Central Africa & Its Spoor Stigand Lyell Hunter



Chauncey Hugh Stigands “Central African Game and its Spoor” is a rare early 20th-century account of big game hunting in Africa.



According to Czech,

“Stigand and Lyell continue their encyclopaedic knowledge of African big game to detail where wild game will be found, its habits and how to make vital shots onrent species. Also of great interest are the life size hoof and paw prints, as well as illustrations of droppings. There is also an excellent chapter on rifles based on their own experiments.”

Czech continues,

“A key book for both the novice and experienced hunter. It combines the knowledge of two experienced hunters where game can be found, habitat, vital shots etc. Also, a chapter on rifles, the paw prints illustrated are life size hence the large folding plate elephant fore foot”



This fine first edition contains numerous photographic views of animals as well as full-page engravings by artist, Denis D. Lyell!
