Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Africa Peter Hathaway Capstick

I still have two or three of PHC’s books. “Death in the tall grass” and “death in silent places” are two that I remember. Seems there was “The lions of Tsaro (SP?)” - or maybe that was just a chapter.

I thought his books to be excellent! Made me want to go to Africa in the worst way.

Cape Buffalo, Leopard, Lion and maybe a crocodile.

I went to Africa on a mission trip in ‘98. Saw hippos, crocodiles, apes, baboons, different antelope. The natives told me that I couldn’t go into my hut as there was a black mamba in there one evening and in another part of the country they kept us from going to the hospital’s dump because of snakes. Would have liked to have seen elephants and giraffes.
