| When he passed away in March 2002, C.J. McElroy left a great legacy for the international big game hunting community. To it, we proudly add one final work?his last, largest, longest and one of his best books. Originally intended to be two or three works, it was decided to combine the coveted spiral-horned and other African antelopes and all antlered game into one great, final volume of campfire tales about hunting on six continents. Fewer than a dozen men have hunted as many types of game animals around the world in the twentieth century as C.J. McElroy. Readers are familiar with the hunts described in Dangerous Game and Mountain Game, the first two titles in his final trilogy. Although spiral-horned antelope have long held a mystical attraction for the big game hunter, there are, surprisingly,only a few books on that special subject. Other African antelope hunting has been described, but to this time, not really in a way that presents them in the same challenging environment as spiral-horned game.This work is a testimony to Mac?s enthusiasm as a big game hunter, his natural story telling ability, and to his dedicated quest to hunt throughout Africa for all her antelope. He presents exciting and informative stories about hunting the highly coveted bongo, mountain nyala, bushbuck, sitatunga,greater and lesser kudu, nyala, and eland. Then Mac lets the reader share in his equally rewarding hunts for sable, roan, oryx, waterbuck, and gnu.We cannot think of any other book in which hunts for seven major species of bushbuck are recounted, not to mention five species of roan, five of oryx, five of waterbuck and so on. In short, if you enjoy reading about hunting the African antelope, this book is a must. There are almost 200 pages of African antelope hunting.The following lists some of the professionals who guided Mac on hunts described herein: Glen Cottar, Tony Seth-Smith, Karl Luthy, Derek McLeod, Durival Simoes, Norman Deane, Ian Henderson, Peter Johnstone,Gary Kelly, Rohil Nana, Gary Powell, Chappie Scott, Ron Sparrow, Claude Vasselet, Jose Ruiz. Many more stories are told about other great professionals who helped Mac collect so many species of the world?s TOP trophy game animals. |
