{"product_id":"big-game-shooting-classic-reprint","title":"Big Game Shooting (Classic Reprint)","description":"\"The digital edition of all books may be viewed on our website before purchase. \u003ci\u003eBig Game Shooting\u003c\/i\u003e is a book full of both fascinating tales and practical advice on a kind of hunting that has gone quite seriously out of fashion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBig Game Shooting\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile 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. \u003ci\u003eBig Game Shooting\u003c\/i\u003e is a worthwhile read.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Publisher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
