Raktažodžiai:

What would you do if you suddenly encountered the dreaded, and deadly poisonous, Gaboon viper while silently stalking through the thick Cameroon forest in search of a forest sitatunga? Find out what Ben Seegmiller did to avoid being bitten by this hideous snake with two-inch-long fangs. If dangerous snake encounters are not enough to raise your blood pressure several notches, wait until you read what Ben did when three large bull elephants charged him and his professional hunter in the tangled Zimbabwe bush while they were attempting to avoid exactly that situation. These and other exciting and entertaining hunting vignettes compose more than seventy stories of Ben’s adventures in the big-game hunting world beginning in the 1940s and continuing through the first two decades of the 2000s. Ben writes with wit and dry humor as he describes his adventurous experiences and their eventual outcomes over the course of his long and exciting life as a big-game hunter.
