ONE MAN'S WILDERNESS

by Warren Page ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 24, 1973

A hunter and sportsman of five continents and shooting editor of Field and Stream for 24 years, Page has bagged every species the law allows -- the rare blue-pelted glacier bear of Alaska, African antelope and elephants, Indian tigers, Scandinavian elk, crocodiles and, well, you name it, he's probably got a trophy for the freest specimen. He can discuss the advantages and drawbacks of the .378 Weatherby magnum, the .416 Rigby and the .338 Winchester for stopping the big tough brutes and does so with enthusiasm and obvious expertise. These short pieces have appeared over the years in Field and Stream when Page was not in the field cocking his trusty .35 Mashburn as the sun set over the papyrus swamp and the unsuspecting sitatunga came out to play. He's not entirely without conservationist scruples but the book is mainly for those old boys who exchange tales of the moose that got away at the annual NRA convention.
