This is the second volume in what is universally hailed as the best photographic collection on the world's top hunters and their trophy rooms. See Renato Luca's incredible castle in northern Italy with most of the game animals of the world life-size, as well as thousands of mounted birds; see the famous Kenneth Whitehead deer museum that is the only place in the world housing every single deer species under one roof, including a whole skeleton of a giant elk with antlers having an eleven-foot spread! Also included are photos of life-size argali sheep, the world-famous red stag collection of Hugo Vitullo, Bruno Scherrer's life-size giraffe, and half-a-dozen trophy rooms from the palaces of India's most famous hunting maharajas. Some of the most exquisitely detailed and designed rooms have been photographed, as well as many interesting artifacts that rival some trophy collections! Informative text on the owners of these rooms (O'Connor, Klein, Pocius, Thummler, Gates, and Yuren to name a few) written by the hunters themselves has been combined with these amazing photos to make this an outstanding photographic essay on the world's top hunters. A must-have companion to Great Hunters vol. I!
