I ordered 2 hardback copies. One for myself and another one for a good friend that took me hunting on his ranch where I shot my last lion. He is having some medical challenges currently and being a Lion hunter for many years I hope this brings him some pleasurable reading.
I am really looking forward to reading this book.
I was fortunate to hunt with some great houndsmen and have took two lions.
I also had the good fortune to hunt with two great lion hunters one full day chasing a lion that gave the dogs the slip when it got into some very rugged cliffs.
These men are no longer with us. Ollie Barney passed after living a full life. Layne Brandt was lost in a tragic plane crash after radioing into his son and informing him he thought he had just spotted what he hoped to be is 100th lion.
If anyone is interested in watching an interview with Ollie I have attached a link.
As a side note my last lion was shot on Ollie Barney’s former ranch which my friend currently owns.
