Daly was a popular professional hunter operating mainly in SUDAN and over much of equatorial Africa - especially in Congo. He treats big game in general and the big five separately. A memorable big game hunting book that should be required reading of all hunters and by all collectors. Daly's work is often quoted by other authors.
