5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful, you won't put it down, enchanting, January 10, 2002

If you've ever dreamed of the Africa of old, the "classic" Safari days of endless game and gentlemen hunters, this is your book. Robert Ruark is genuis, from the opening page you are drawn into the book page after page, you will lose sleep until you are finished with this gem because you simply won't want to put it down ! It is almost as is if you can smell & hear the Africa Ruark describes, and "feel" the charge of a Cape Buffalo , Lion or Leopard. You will want to read this book again & again & it just get's better each time. The only book Ruark wrote that might garner a higher rating is "Horn of the Hunter", on a personal suggestion by Harry Selby ( Ruarks friend & "White Hunter", a professional hunter without parallel ). You will NOT be dissapointed with "Use Enough Gun" or "Horn of the Hunter" ..

5.0 out of 5 stars A man's book for lovers of the old safari hunts, March 27, 1999

This review is from: Use Enough Gun: On Hunting Big Game (Hardcover)

Probably the best book I have ever read on hunting during the glory days of safari hunting in Africa. Ruark takes you hunting for the African "Big 5" through the eyes of a first timer. He writing is easy to read and keeps you interested at all times. If you're a hunter, you'll wish you where there! Not for members of PETA.

I found a first printing of this book in an obscure little shop and being an avid reader of african hunting books i picked it up.As I began to read it i could not put it down until it was finished,and i might add it took my breath.Ruark put his superb writing talent to good use in telling of his adventures hunting buffalo and africa's other exciting game.
