His biography "A Man called Lion" explores his life in full
He shot prodigious numbers of game. For example over 1000 elephants
He was believed to be homosexual, and was persecuted in Africa in his latter years there. Local authorities forced him to leave Africa due to his continued poaching offences. His experience as a hunter, as well as his expertise with rifles, should have enabled him to find a well paying job as a representative of one of the major gunmakers in London. However, rumours of his homosexual past in Africa followed him to England, and he found little work. Taylor's last years were spent in poverty
