From the Author: Ever since I released what has become the most-watched hunting video ever made, "Africa's Black Death", sportsmen around the world have clamored for the real story about how and why this American filmmaker and self-taught professional hunter came to hunt dangerous game the way I do, on equal footing, allowing the animal to charge, testing my nerve and eye against Africa's most feared and deadly beasts. In this book I answer all those questions and more. It is a well known fact that I do not hunt the way other professional hunters do. And I don't want to. My manner and method of hunting dangerous game is unique and I dismiss the notion of dispatching wounded Cape buffalo from a safe distance or from the back of a vehicle, when, with a bit more care, my client and I can walk up and give the bull the choice of how he is to die. Such hunting methods are certainly controversial and not for everyone, but I know that deep down in the heart of every hunter who goes to Africa, that he secretly wants to test his mettle against wounded Cape buffalo and the deadliest of them all, rogue bull hippo on dry land. Uniquely written and with over 230 brilliant full color photographs, Death and Double Rifles gives you an in-depth look at what motivates me to risk my life, why I deliberately walk up to wounded Cape buffalo and rogue bull hippo, challenging them on their own turf, just so I can hunt "my way". From the moment you first open the book, you'll love it. The statements that I make are true and I have the pictures and experience to prove it. This is not the kind of book that you look at once and put away. But rather, the book contains a wealth of information just like the pictures themselves.
