Everett, Fred
Price
$84.95 HB
Everett was born and grew up in the northern territories of what was then
known as the Bechuanaland Protectorate, a place renowned even today for its
game. His backyard was the Chobe and the Okavango Swamps, where Everett was
free to roam and where he learned to hunt with an old 7x57mm Mauser.
As Everett says, "So I began my career as a hunter in November 1932. Unable
to adjust to the world among my own people or even a life at home, I shed
the trappings of civilization like a python sloughing its skin. I moved into
the bush among the animals that accepted me in my role of predator.
Elephants were the only lucrative animals to hunt. As I would be poaching, I
would have to be selective and take on the largest ivory, for I could not
afford to draw attention to my activities by leaving too many carcasses
strewn around."
Frederick William Everett is known as one of the last great professional
ivory hunters still alive today. In fact Peter Capstick once said of Fred
Everett, "He is truly one of the last grand characters of the African bush."
Not many people can get a ringing endorsement like that! During his long
hunting career, he hunted in Bechuanaland, Southern Rhodesia and the Wankie
Game Reserve, Mozambique, and the Sudan, shooting scores of elephants in the
process. This is the life story of a man who came to be known as Radephiri,
father of hyenas. An unusual life and a great story.
