General Information:

Tracks - Mike, like his father, had a boisterous sense of humour ........... imitating lion roars and grunts ...... Bud would make bogus lion prints outside the tents of the innocent visitors. Bud, like all professional hunters of the first class, held uninitiated innocents in mild contempt and quite shamelessly looked upon them mainly as money spinners. Like his father he also had a contempt for law and order.
