"Big Game Shooting, Volume 2" by Clive Phillipps-Wolley is a detailed account of hunting practices focused on big game in diverse regions, written in the late 19th century. This volume explores various hunting environments, including the Arctic and the Caucasus, while providing insights into the characteristics of the animals pursued, the techniques employed, and the experiences of the huntsmen. The author combines firsthand experience with practical advice aimed at enthusiasts of big game hunting. The opening of this volume introduces readers to Arctic hunting, specifically the pursuit of walrus and polar bear. The author, Arnold Pike, shares his limited experiences in the Spitzbergen region, discussing the impact of excessive hunting on walrus populations and addressing the challenges hunters often face due to inadequate vessels and untrained crews. He offers recommendations for successful hunting expeditions, including selecting appropriate gear and understanding the behaviors of the walrus and polar bear. This introduction sets a tone of adventure and expertise, making it appealing for readers interested in the nuances of big game hunting. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
