Aram Von Benedikt - '1895: The Last Lever-Action'
2019-11-05
[Guns America - Hunt 365] Dust mingled with the scent of distant rain in my nostrils, rousing a subconscious sense of excitement known only to those who dwell in the desert. Africa was thirsty, waiting for the rain like an alcoholic waits for his next drink. Kudu moved ahead of us through the thorn veldt like so many wraiths, an old bull’s long spiraling horns visible one moment, gone the next. Fingering the sun-heated Winchester ’95 in my hands, I glanced at my PH. Crouched and motionless, he waited. Towering black clouds covered the face of the sun as thunder rumbled in the distance. The bull stepped toward an opening in the bush, and the PH moved forward, cross-sticks in hand.

#7   Bravo, Zenobia F! And BritLit references, too — so utterly appropriate. :-)

#6  A gentleman's personal hunter,
His Jeeves, or, less whimsically, Bunter,
Is quick with the sticks
And knows plenty of tricks
For protecting the pride of the punter.
