Review # 1 was written on 2021-02-02 00:00:00 Ronald Walker While I disagree with the author with regards to some of his tactics and ammunition recommendations, this book is probably the most complete reference currently available on shotguns and accessories.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-11-17 00:00:00 Kenneth Pope Escapades of a great white hunter, some unusual, almost all self-inflicted, with no hint of insight to interrupt the action. The trick for authors in the early 20th century was relentless self-promotion via the art of the #humblebrag, and PJ's inflated sense of importance and limited language abilities make this a particularly joyless example. He paints himself w all the good humor of a biting fly, and none of the self-awareness. True story: a zebra kicked PJ off his horse while he was rustling animals for zoos; that was a highlight for me.
