dont know why but the jungle/rainforest fascinates me though i hate humidity with a passion....especially like bongo and forest elephant...i recently read "Buffalo, Elephant, & Bongo" by Reinald von Meurers and was wondering if anyone off hand knows of other books on hunting this part of Africa?

i just got "Big Game Hunting" by Sacha de Montbel for a birthday present and it has some as well as some in John Burger's "Horned Death" had some about the hunting in the Irutu Forest....Weiland's "Spiral Horn Dreams" has a chapter on bongo and of course my copy of James Mellon's "African Hunter" has chapters on jungle Africa....what am i missing?
Time to go yourself!

Spent 16 days hunting near the Sanga River in SE Cameroon. Unlike savannah hunts, there are days where you don't see multitudes of game. When you do, it can be magical.

Walking up on a sleeping male gorilla, watching [bleep] raid crops, seeing your pygmy trackers scatter when they stir up a black forest cobra will all get your blood pumping.

I went in March, and being so close to equator sunrise and sunset are abrupt. Walking in the triple canopy of trees causes you to lose all sense of direction because there is no sun to follow.

It's a great experience. Not many books on it because the action is slower than savannah hunts.
if i could find someone to buy one of my kidneys i would go......sucks being a po' white boy, no one will give you a handout that you get to waste crazy
