BIG GAME ^^ 



extra special care and precautions must be taken, 

 especially if they have to be followed into thick stuff, 

 which is distinctly risky and requires great coolness 

 and steadiness. Take natives of proved courage ; 

 panicky ones but make the risk the greater and 

 upset the hunter's own nerves. 



Dogs are sometimes of use in thick stuff, especially 

 if the animal be wounded, and one or more should be 

 taken along, but kept on the leash till required. 



The life of the big-game hunter, whether for a long 

 or a short period, is a life of great things, wandering 

 with Nature in her great solitudes and untouched 

 grandeur, pitting skill and cunning against the far 

 superior senses of great and oftentimes dangerous 

 beasts, coming into touch with native tribes having 

 a great and ancient history. 



It may be at times a life of hardship and short 

 commons, of great tests of endurance, coolness, and 

 courage, or the combating of deadly diseases, but 

 it is a life that holds and draws beyond all else 

 in the world. 



The long after-years that soften things down only 

 leave to the memory the best side of those glorious 

 days that can never be wholly forgotten.
