What goes on in the mind of a trophy hunter? This book attempts to answer that question.
For the first time ever, the world's top trophy hunters are profiled.
The book reveals the many hundreds - sometimes thousands - of animals they've killed, and the contents of their mind-blowing trophy rooms.
For the first time ever, the world's top trophy hunters are profiled.
The book reveals the many hundreds - sometimes thousands - of animals they've killed, and the contents of their mind-blowing trophy rooms.
And it tells the stories of their most 'memorable' hunts - in their own words... In the foreword, Priscilla Presley says: Eduardo Gonçalves' tireless work over the years has exposed the rottenness at the heart of this cruel industry, and has inspired some nations to introduce restrictions. '20 Elephants in 75 Minutes' will surely help bring this barbaric practice to a crashing end, once and for all. '20 Elephants in 75 Minutes' is Gonçalves' 6th book on the trophy hunting industry - and his most shocking to date. It reveals the identities of over 300 members of Safari Club International (SCI) who have all killed more than 100 animals. It lists more than 800 hunters who have shot all of the African Big 5 - Lions, Elephants, Rhinoceroses, Leopards, and Buffaloes.
SCI's key donors, some of whom have given over $1 million, are revealed too. His work has won plaudits across the world.

12. Brain shot at 48 yards: the most emotional moment of my hunting life
13. I shot and reloaded, shot and reloaded, and the lion expired
14. My lungs were bellows fanning the fire of desire for this trophy
