Personally I do not like Boddington. Just me, he seems to be the real deal.
My favorite is John Barsness, but he tends not to write Joe and me stories.0 -
i have to agree with i don't think anyone can take his place, think i have all his books, at least the ones i can find.
I don't think he wrote so much Joe and me stuff that got my attn.
as the way he explained what was going on, what had happened, and what was subject to happen.
I haven't heard of Boddington, have heard that Jeff Cooper is pretty good, haven't found any of his books .0 -
Craig Boddinton. Go to www.bookfinder.com and put in his name as author. He has written a pile of books as well as magazine articles. If you like African writers Robert Ruark, Horn of the Hunter and others. I have never much liked the hunting stories myself, but I have and have read a number of books by Jack O'Connor. In his day he was the law. 0 -

Agree 100% with that. O'Connor should be mandatory reading for all North American big game hunters.0 -
For some of us Jack O'Conner and Elmer Keith were "the experts" and they disagreed. As an O'Conner fan I had to have a M70 270. In addition, I went through my "high velocity" phase largely because of Jack and his opinions. Later in life I have come to respect much more the teachings of Elmer.
Both should be required reading.0 -
anyone who needs to kill those "dangerous big game" animals over in africa, india or anywhere else is a wuzzie to me including teddy r and i don't need to read their books to reconfirm it.just my take on those valuable old hunting books 0 -
well in light of that quote, i guess i need to ask what do you hunt, i think looking down the barrel at something that might put holes in you before you put holes in it might be more of a challenge than rabbits, deer or that very dangous paper target, just my opinion. quote:Originally posted by turtles11756

How very true. I never until now realized how much of a wuzzie Sahsa Siemel was for hunting Jaguars in South America using a thrusting spear. Or how much of a wus C. H. Stigand fighting lions at near point blank range.
Real men only hunt whitetail or bunnies. [xx(]0 -
that SASHSA was the real deal, wonder what he could have done with a butter knife and a jackrabbit,
what about those guys in the late1800s or early 1900s hunting cape buffalo with flint locks, or even the precussion rifles, man what a life.0 -
Please don't judge the men of former times by the pc standards of today. Animals were considered a renewable resource and were treated as such. Had you lived in an African village in those days, you might have been happy for a hunter armed with a rifle to kill some troublesome wildlife. For what it is worth, I'd rather go hunting with Teddy Roosevelt than out chasing women with Bill Clinton. 0 -
Too, you would have been happy to have had the fresh meat a close by safari provided to a village. The days are different, it has largly been poaching, not trophy hunting that has reduced so many of the African herds. Poaching and fences. Selous shot over 1000 elephants (with a 7x57), and that probably did not help, but it would have taken several wuzzies like him to have doomed the elephants in just one country. 0 -
it all comes down to population, even here when you have too many
people they have to live some where, guess who has to move first, and i for one hate the fact that animal habitat is going away fast, but i guess you have to ask what is more important, I hate to say this, because i don't like the idea, but probably in lots of African
countrys today if it were not for the game ranches and high fences
their may not be any game.
hu-o my box is colapsing.
I would loved to have lived in the time when their were only to white people west of the Mississippi river (me and ANN MARGRETT)0
