Handgun Hunting Book

[Buddy in AK]

Santa brought me a new Shooting Bag and a book, Handgun Hunting: How to Travel the World in Pursuit of Wild Game! by: Mark Hampton

So far it is a good book (first few chapters), mostly Revolver and Single Shot, touches on different types of guns and calibers....

Happy New Year ! !

Sounds interesting. Does it recomend different handguns? What is the biggest game you can shoot with a handgun in that book?

I have a copy of this book,
It is a good book to read I read it and now it is just sitting on my book shelf

I will be willing to trade it for other hunting books.

I think it's a great book. I had my copy signed by Hampton and got to hunt on his place, Show Me Safaris, before he sold it.  

I have a few other handgun hunting books; I think a total of 4.  I found one that I've been looking for a while called Successful Handgun Hunting.  ItÂ’s a good book with lots of information.

jro45,

It has chapters from small game to Africa.  He has taken Elephant, Rhino and Cape Buffalo with the .375 JDJ.  I think he shot Lion with a .44 Mag.  Anyway, .17 for squirrels to .375 JDJ for Elephant just about covers it all.  I have an older book, Handgun Hunting by: Larry Kelly and J D Jones.  It is good also but this one in a little more up to date.  Saw a deer hunting TV show over the weekend "Smith and Wesson" where a guy shot deer with a scoped S&W 500.  Good to see someone using a revolver but wish they had better footage and more info on the handgun.


I see rickyp has a copy to trade, its a good read.

Successful Handgun Hunting by Phil Johnson?

That's the one.  Took me a while to find it.  
I also may have finally found a copy of the video Short Barreled Bucks.   Another video for the handgun hunting library
