Born in Nairobi in 1923, Fred Bartlett grew up in a remote, isolated farm, where the most frequent visitors were marauding elephant, buffalo, or lion. After serving in the second world war he became Game Control Officer for one of Kenya's largest districts, and one populated more by big-game animals than by humans. He later became a professional hunter with the legendary Kerr & Downey Safaris. His hunting career took him throughout Kenya and Tanzania with men such as Weatherby Award Winner Carlo Caldesi and a host of others. He also was one of the earliest professionals to operate in Botswana. For Fred, whose life truly was spent on the map of Africa's game lands, Shoot Straight and Stay Alive is an appropriate name for this autobiography.
