"Big Game Shooting, volume 1 (of 2)" by Clive Phillipps-Wolley is a comprehensive work on hunting practices written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the ethics, techniques, and experiences associated with big game hunting, particularly highlighting the context of British hunters abroad, especially in Africa and America. Through detailed accounts and expert contributions, the text addresses the adrenaline-fueled pursuit of various wild animals while emphasizing a respectful and conservative
approach to wildlife. The opening of the volume sets the stage by discussing the general principles of big game shooting and the motivations behind this pursuit. The author acknowledges the absence of large game in Britain while pointing out that many of the hunters are British, engrossed in the thrill of the hunt in remote territories. It explores the hunting spirit's connection to traditional masculine virtues and the sport's contributions to exploration and science. Phillipps-Wolley reflects upon the need for responsible hunting practices, emphasizing that sportsmanship should align with the principles of conservation and respect for the natural world, even cautioning against excessive slaughter of game for mere sport.
