WHERE ELEPHANTS WALK

Where Elephants Walk is a collection

of stories about modern big game

hunting in Africa. Wyoming resident

and lifelong hunter Albert Townsend

takes the reader with him as he relives

some of his most memorable African

adventures. In the pages of this book,

Albert bags dangerous game animals

including leopards, cape buffalo, and

crocodiles, as well as an array of plains

game. Most of the stories, however,

recount his success (and some failures)

hunting the great African elephant.

Along the way, he interacts with professional

hunters, encounters different

cultures, and learns to appreciate the

incredible toughness of African game.

Fellow hunters will appreciate Albert’s

insight into the strategy and discipline

required to successfully hunt some

of the most dangerous animals on the

planet. Non-hunters will enjoy the dramatic

adventures of Albert, his family,

and his friends as they gain an altogether

new form of respect for nature.

Albert Townsend is a semi-retired

building contractor specializing in

projects with a strong masonry bias.

He and his wife Sheri live in Buffalo,

Wyoming. A lifelong hunter, he spent

the winter months between 1975

and 1992 trapping and in predator

management. On occasions he has

guided hunters himself. His successful

hunting and fishing travels have taken

him around the world, including the

British Isles, Canada, Africa, and Belize

in addition to Alaska and other states

as well as his home state of Wyoming.
