Pappy348,
Though Capstick did have a PH license, apparently he got most of the stories he published while working as a bartender in bars PH's frequented. I have hunted with several far more experienced PH's than Capstick, and none of them have had nearly as many close calls as PHC reported in just his first book.
None of them resent Capstick, since his books did more for the safari business as anything published during the same period. But the consensus is that he was more of a good semi-fiction writer than anything else.
