SIGNED!! "HUNTING THE SPIRAL HORN: KUDU - THE TOP AFRICAN ANTELOPE" BY PETER FLACK. 2012 FIRST EDITION, 292 PAGES, HARDCOVER, EXCELLENT CONDITION, SIGNED WITH INSCRIPTION. Peter Flack is a well-known African hunter and a man who has collected all the spiral-horned antelopes in Africa. In this book on the greater and lesser kudu, he gives us his own hunting experiences for all varieties of greater kudu (Cape, southern, East African, Abyssinian, and western) as well as hunts for lesser kudu in Tanzania and Ethiopia. But more than that he has had outfitters, guides, and experienced sport hunters give us their stories on Africa's "gray ghost." Some of the contributors include James Mellon, Brian Herne, Tony Thomkinson, Robin Hurt, Alain Lefol, Anthony Dyer, and Peter Kennedy; in all sixteen people contributed to this book. The book is a mix of scientific data, how to hunt kudu, the best places to hunt kudu, and exciting stories about some of the largest kudus ever hunted-including absolute monsters with 60- and, yes, sometimes, 70-inch horns! Apart from in-depth research on the greater and lesser kudu, there are chapters on rifles, ammunition, clothing, and equipment.
