tjhunt2 Report post Posted February 4, 2011 It is a must read book for sure. I started reading it all over again and I'm enjoying it as much as the first time around. Peg and I had the pleasure of joining Bill for lunch, in Greer last year, while we were camping at Big Lake. We then got to hear more stories and got to see many pictures in books that he has written or co-written. It was the highlite of our annual trip to the area. It makes the book even more enjoyable the second time around by knowing Bill. I recommend "Sixty Years A Hunter" to anyone who loves to hunt and especially if you're going to make a trip to Africa.

It was my 22nd trip to that continent, and the magic still was there, even with the stress those long flights put on my aged body. Bill Quimby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill Quimby Bill, I just can't phantom that. 22 trips has got to be a record in itself. Is there another book in the makings? Probably should be! I hope the magic will always be there for you. Only in my dreams! TJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only in my dreams! TJ Sorry, TJ, but all my trips to Africa over nearly three decades are nothing compared to what guys like Craig Boddington, Terry Wieland, Jim Shockey and many Weatherby Award recipients and recipient wannabees have done or are doing. When you stop by the cabin this summer, let's talk about what it will take to get you and Peg to South Africa or Namibia. Even with today's obscene prices, a plains game safari still is doable for most hunters. Even with airfare, a multi-species safari can cost less than a single species sheep, bear or moose hunt in Alaska or Canada if you shop wisely and do only skull mounts. Sixty Years A Hunter was and is the only book I'll write about me. The one I'm working on now is like none of my other books and should have a much larger audience (I'm hoping) than all the memoirs I've written for international trophy hunters.
