Hunting Icons of Africa - Peter Flack

Live through his disappointments as he takes 33 days to find a mountain nyala in Ethiopia and travel the width of Africa from east to west - through Tanzania for lion and Roosevelt sable, Mozambique for leopard, Zimbabwe for kudu, Botswana for red lechwe and South Africa for grey rhebuck amongst others.

Craig Boddington had this to say: No one in modern times, perhaps not ever, has hunted in Africa as widely as Peter Flack, and few among us are as astute in our observations. This book is Peter's tribute to his own list of Africa's top twenty-five game animals, his "icons" of African hunting.

In his third book, Peter Flack narrates the stories of those animals that struck him for an iconic reason, either because of the magnificence of the animal or because of his specific experience while hunting it. This hardback details Flacks long record of hunting on the Dark Continent for animals as diverse as giant forest hog and wildebeest. The list, which is not all-inclusive of anything in particular, is comprised of twenty-five animals, from a Barbary sheep in Chad to a zebra in South Africa. In these pages you will find the story of a dwarf forest buffalo that almost killed him as well as Flacks struggles and victories with denizens of the rain forest giant forest hog, forest sitatunga, forest elephant, and the new world-record bongo. While in Chad in search of a huge Barbary sheep and northern kudu, he ducks bullets as they fly at him during an attack by four AK-47-toting nomads. Interesting historical and natural-history facts begin the section on each animal, followed by a personal hunting narrative. Some of the stories are new and some of the material is from such magazines as Sports Afield, but wherever they came from, for Peter Flack fans this will be a journey worth taking. Flacks book leaves no corner of Africas vast mountains, forests, and plains untouched.
