Hi everyone

Which books do you consider to be must have reads for the average South African hunter, i.e. the hunter hunting in South Africa within a reasonable budget. Say a top 10 list?

Looking forward to hearing your lists.

Cheers

Jean

There was a book on tracking that a friend of mine has. Got it from s&o.
Brilliant book.
Can't remember the name now. I'll find it and post it

Thank you Theron, that must be up for the most informative post of the day.

Are you sure it was a book, at least?

Bought a book years ago called "Jag in Afrika" there is an english version available as well. Great buy IMO. Covers everything from animal tracks, habitat etc.

Ron Thomsons books are great for the hunter and conservationist. I also enjoyed Memories of a Game Ranger by Harry Wolhuter. The Comprehensive Guide to Tracking by Cleve Cheney is also very good.
