Summary

"Big Game Shooting, volume 1 (of 2)" by Clive Phillipps-Wolley is a detailed exploration of big game hunting in the late 1800s, concentrating on the principles, methods, and adventures encountered by British hunters in places like Africa and America. The book starts by laying out the reasons people hunt big game, especially since there isn't much big game to hunt in Britain, but many of the hunters are British and enjoy the challenge in other countries.. It emphasizes hunting as more than just a sport, connecting it to old-fashioned ideas about being a man and how it helps us learn about and explore new places. But the author also talks about the need to hunt responsibly, suggesting that hunters should respect wildlife and not kill too many animals just for fun, and also, they should aim to protect these animals for future generations.
