KAMBAKU HARRY MANERS ( hunting )

KAMBAKU HARRY MANERS  ; Hardcover ; Ernest Stanton Publishers ; First published ;  1980 ; 209 pages

The story of Harry Manners, one of the greatest elephant hunters of all time.

"Harry shot his first elephant when still a teenager using an old 10.75mm Mauser rifle, and he was so successful - the elephant had tusks of over eighty pounds per side - this set him on his course for life. He began his career in 1937 and continued until 1953 when commercial ivory hunting was closed in Mozambique. During the years Harry was a professional elephant hunter, he shot approximately 1,000 specimens. Among his many magnificent trophies was an incredible pair of tusks that weighed 185 and 183 pounds, the fourth largest African tusks ever recorded. This revised and expanded edition with more chapters and more photos is one of the great elephant-hunting classics of the post-World War II era."
