since this is up my alley, another guy along with Bell and Hunter and Neumann all interested in Africa should read is John Burger, he was to buffalo what Bell was to elephants and Hunter was to black rhino....the story in his main book, "Horned Death" about him and his buddy scheming to get rich off an albino buffalo calf they spotted in a herd and the lengths they go to try and catch it to sell to a zoo or collector are hilarious...when people ask me who they should read after Capstick gets them hooked on Africa i point to Hunter and Burger

also if you are really interested in what all rifles the major big game hunters used "The Rifle: Its Development for Big-Game Hunting" by Truesdell is very good but if your a book worm like me it leads you to other books you have to have cause he scoured the books by guys like Bell and Hunter and dozens of others to see what they used and why...
