2010 Long Beach, 1st edn, 242pp, color photos, ltd to 250 signed, numbered, & slipcased copies. To say that Gary Ingersoll is an accomplished hunter is like saying Mohammed Ali was a good boxer. Initially, Gary hunted only in North America during the time when most hunting clothes consisted of an old pair of jeans and a military surplus jacket. He was one of the very first hunters to obtain the North American 27. (The traditional 27 included the jaguar, polar bear, and walrus.) Then, as any international big-game hunter must, he went to Africa. His first stop was in Kenya in 1976 just before it closed to hunting. He had an incredible safari of thirty-five days, during which he took a black rhino. The Africa bug bit him, and in rapid succession Gary went to Sudan in the middle of a civil war, to the C.A.R. after a 100-pound elephant, and to all the other traditional hunting places of the great game continent that is Africa. Along the way he had a leopard that gave him quite a fright, to put it mildly, and he hunted in the ancient kingdom of Ethiopia in search of a mountain nyala. Africa is not the only world-class hunting destination, and Gary certainly went after other game as well. He loved hunting in the mountains and has a large sheep collection to prove it-all of which were gained by hard hunting and by setting one foot in front of the other in his endeavor to climb ever up and, seemingly, almost never down. He took a Grand Slam and Super Slam of sheep after having hunted in Mongolia, China, Russia, Kirghizstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Kamchatka, and Iran. He went no less than three times for a Marco Polo. Of course, to get a Grand Slam one has to go from Alaska to Mexico, and that was on his itinerary as well. This is one of the most limited Safari Press editions of the past decade, it sold out at about the time released to the public and has been impossible to find since. Fine in near fine slipcase, like new.
