Aagaards Africa

I am fortunate to own a copy of this NRA publication written by the late Finn Aagaard. I have just read through it again for about the fifth time and still enjoyed every word. If you can obtain a copy I believe you would enjoy it as well. I was also priviledged to be in his company on many occasions. A finer man you would be hard pressed to meet.

If ever a man lived what he wrote, and excelled in writing what he had lived, it was Finn.

I've got about all of his magazine articles, but would love to have this book, too. I'll have a look and see if it's still in print. If not, well, I DO like a hunt!

Have it

It is a terrific book; I picked it up at the Dallas Safari club convention a couple of years ago. Mrs. Berit Aagaard was at the booth and she very kindly spoke to me and inscribed my copy with a note.

It's from Safari Press (big-game hunting and firearms books). The ISBN is 1-57157-284-8.

Cheers,

What I really liked about Finn was his disdain for those 'hunters' (word used very loosely), who have a pouch on their rifle butts to hold a tape measure. The actual hunt was far more important to him. Shooting captive animals was certainly not his scene. Turns my stomach as well
