Recommended Posts

a sporting chance (1967 seccond edition)

 

by Daniel.P.Mannix

 

hardback 248 pages with black and white photos.

 

covering unusual hunting methods as tried by the author.

 

the opening paragraph reads as follows:

 

the east whiteland hunt still recalls with deep emotion the day my CHEETAH not only caught the hunted fox but also three of their best hounds !!!!!!!!

 

so...as you can see unusual methods.

 

other topics are

 

blowgun

falconry

bow and arrow

crossbow

ferrets

boomerang

terriers

bolas

harpooning

fishing with trained cormorants and otters

 

and much more.

 

a very interesting read, and now becoming a rare book
