Summary
Big game hunting is out. The new idea in Southern Rhodesia is big game spotting. How far does wild life travel? A difficult question to answer, unless you can identify a particular animal. So, they have devised a bow-and-arrow method for keeping taps on beasts. The arrow-head is fitted with a capsule filled with paint, that will leave a lasting mark on the quarry.
