Bush Lore : A Professional Hunter's Adventures in Central Africa
How does a 19-year-old bank teller from Kansas end up in the African bush working as a Professional Hunter ?
In 2008, with little more than the clothes on his back, Adam Parkison set off for a 7,000-mile journey to the heart of Africa. What was intended to be a short visit, turned into five years of adventure in a little-known country called the Central African Republic. In these short stories, the author takes readers on a journey deep in the tropical forest mosaics of the Chinko basin, following wounded buffalo, outwitting a menacing leopard, tracking down rumors of cryptid creatures, encountering venomous snakes, fleeing from bush fires, surviving deadly illnesses, and more. At times brutally honest and self-deprecating, these stories paint the picture of a rookie Professional Hunter as he navigates a challenging and dangerous career in the wilds of Africa.

great book
Great writing and very interesting insights on fairly modern African hunting and safari. Insights on the work preparations for clients and not just the hunting aspects.
