Overview
The Hunting Game is a follow on to the author's previous book Tracking the Memory and is primarily another collection of informative and personal stories about hunting and related issues, covering the author's lengthy career as a Professional Hunter in the Southern African safari industry. Aside from hunting stories, there are also chapters with a humorous touch, and stories on a more sombre note regarding the worrying situation much of Africa's wildlife now faces due to rampant poaching, poor governance, and corruption. The author also writes about certain of his favourite calibres and bullet brands. Anyone who is a hunter conservationist will find The Hunting Game an interesting campfire read, and a worthy addition to their hunting library. The latest edition has had an additional chapter added on the legendary Rhodesian hunter of a bygone era, Crawford Fletcher Jamieson, known to the Zambezi Valley tribal dwelling Africans as 'Chimpongani'. This is the first time anything has been published in such depth about this extraordinary individual. Kevin's book The Hunting Game has received excellent reviews in various hunting magazines.
