doesn't Clint Eastwood carry a double rifle in "White Hunter, Black Heart" been a very long time since i watched it There's even a scene where he went and purchased it. It was a Holland & Holland "Elephant Magnum" (Wiki) supposedly similar to what John Huston took with him while filming the movie. Since Eastwood's character was based on John Huston and the shooting of the movie "The African Queen", I always remember John Huston's speech at as I recall the Oscars, I believe he may have been receiving a "Lifetime Achievement" award. He related the experience that while filming the movie, the local police came and arrested the hunter hired to provide meat for the camp. It seems that the hunter had been providing what was called "Long Pig" for everyone to eat.

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.

"keep the change!" someone a while back - myth busters maybe- did a test on that - turns out as we would expect - the ballistics of a load of dimes is crap, the effectiveness is feet not yards

Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid
from the 70's. Lot's of good music on that one's soundtrack. Bob Dylan at his best. Like during Slim Picken's death scene. Ya gotta like Peckinpah..Lot's of good pumpgun use during the last 15 minutes of the "Wild Bunch". As well as in the "Military Intervention" (actually, "Krag" use here) and the last scenes of "The Wind and the Lion"..

Not a hunting movie, but Tom Horn starring Steve McQueen is a favorite of mine. A REAL western.
Stan, thanks for the heads up; I admit to not having known the story nor about Ward and Christmas previous to your post. I really like Jim Caviezel (I'm a big Person of Interest fan), and Roger Pinckney's (who I also like a lot) review was more than enough to seal the deal; I just ordered up the book and the movie.

You're very welcome, F2F. My wife loved it so much she bought us a copy off Amazon. We NEVER buy movies, 'til now. Pinckney is fast becoming my favorite outdoor writer.
Let me know how you like it.

Has anyone seen Home From The Hill recently enough to remember if the hunting and gun scenes were done well? It's been so long since i've seen it that I can't recall much detail. Great book, deserved an accurate transition to the movie screen.
But since the time Hollywood cast a Labrador Retriever as Ol' Yeller I have not expected much accuracy from that bunch.
