From Publishers Weekly
Prior to his successful Death in the Tall Grass , Capstick contributed to sporting magazines such as Guns and Ammo , Outdoor Life and American Hunter. This volume, a collection of pieces written between 1969 and 1986, will be welcomed warmly by sportsmen and -women, safari buffs and vicarious adventurers. In addition to his tales of stalking and shooting dangerous game, Capstick holds forth on guns and ammunition; he says many safari clients carry more guns than they can handle. He discusses hunting the smaller African game (antelope) and recounts fishing experiences in Central and South America. In the final chapter, Capstick turns to whimsya mythical Open Day on dragons. Even a rabid anti-hunter would find this piece entertaining.

From Library Journal
This anthology of Capstick's articles range from 1969 into the 1980s and were selected from such popular general hunting and shooting magazines as Guns & Ammo , American Hunter , and Petersen's Hunting . Capstick lives in Africa; his first love is Africa; his forte is in his knowledge of and writings about Africa, rather than "on five continents." His fishing expertise is reflected only in a couple of articles among the total 24. Each selection in the book is prefaced by an informative introduction by Capstick, which adds immensely to the articles. Outdoor sports and adventure collections where the author's Death in the Long Grass (1978) and Death in the Dark Continent (1983) are popular will want to consider this.
