Hunters Three: Sport And Adventure In South Africa (1895) - Softcover

For tlie last fifty years or moreS outli Africa has been an attractive field for the hunter in search of large game. A long in the middle of the century it was the paradise of the sportsman, as the readers of hunting-stories of that time can well understand; as time has gone on the game has steadily diminished, and the hunter of to-day makes but a poor record in comparison with Gumming, A ndersson, and other men of the early times. But even at presentS outh Africa is not without attractions for the hunter, though he can never hope for successes like those which have been mentioned. The customary methods of hunting inS outh Africa were, and stU lare, for the hunter to outfit in one of the principal towns along the coast or in the interior, equipping himself with wagons, oxen, and horses, and hiring the necessary number of people to accompany him in a journey up-country. The lading of the wagons consists of provisions and ammunition for the hunters use, together with various kinds of goods to be used as presents or for trading-purposes among the natives.
