Editor's note: The setting for these exciting and well-described adventures, the Matobo Hills, provides and extra dimension, a background of ancient mystery and drama. Many who read Wayne Grant's expert account of hunting in this unique environment will agree that the area engenders and powerful - some would day spiritual - feeling in those fortunate enough to spend time among the colossal, impossibly intricate and spell-binding, granite formations. This is true of newcomers and old hands alike,amonth the latter the arch empire builder, Cecil John Rhodes,  and Lord Baden Powell, the founder of what was to become the world-wide Boy Scouts movement.'
