    Calling warthogs, dangerous but very exciting!

    I suppose I should set this up so that you will better understand the system. First the idea came to me by watching North Amreican Hunters perform a technique called Rattling. I found the idea of tempting Deer to come and investigate a fight amusing. There is a little known fact that female...

    White Rhino any real danger to hunters?

    White rhino are no bargan in the safety issue. We all accept that the black Rhino is a bugger with a short fuse but I have had my vehicle charged twice by White Rhino, one bull and one cow. The fisrt time was while out photographing game with clients. We were about 75 yards from the cow and a...

    Between the freakin eyes! I do this 3 days a week or more. I need some kind of councilling or therapy. It's a sickness with me. I love shooting carp!

    My shooting instructor

    I always wonder who his father is because he is a hella clever little bugger. My wife is 5'10" and blonde, also much younger then I am. The possibility exists I suppose! His hair is light brown, kinda dark blonde. It's not red but I can see in the photo how it looks like that. Anyhow he's a...

    My shooting instructor

    Well I have a new shooting instructor now. He is a bit younger at only 3 years old but don't let that young age fool you, he speaks up quick when I miss the target! Too bad he's holding a range finder and not binoculars not to mention he is holding it backward too! funny how little boys want...

    Motion camera takes some interesting pictures

    Yeah but your dealing with a "true professional" here! I cannot be in two places at one time so I decided I wanted to know what I was missing. When my hunters come I have the game sorted out long before the hunters show up! Here are a couple more that I just found Young waterbuck bull...

    Motion camera takes some interesting pictures

    I had a real exercise in frustration with this effort this past season. I have an old digital camera and a motion sensor that is battery operated. I wired them together kinda and got it to work OK when tested but in practice it was kind of a struggle. I made it work but it was a pain in the butt...

    Non-typical Safari adventures

    I like hunting each evening until its just too dark see anymore. Over my career I have found that the majority of my hunters and myself have taken most game in the last 30 minutes of daylight. Put another way If I was somehow confined to hunting 30 minutes a day it would be that last 30 minutes...

    Warthogs!

    Warthogs are a sickness with me. I love shooting pigs any species anyplace. But warthogs are especially fun for me. One of my hunters Roger and I had a lot of fun with them this past few weeks in Africa. Lots of great video and several nice trophies. With a little luck we will post this special...

    Back from RSA with pictures and stories

    This year may have been the best single season for client selection. Of all the hunters and photo tourists I did not have a single one that was a whiner or just miserable to be around. As many of you know and read last year I had the worst folks of my 15 year career in that group of guys that...

    backpacks/daypacks

    The great majortiy of my hunters bring a small daypack or fanny pack with them for a bottle of water, camera and misc things. It is never a problem and they are used quite frequently by my clients. One reason you may not see them in a video is that the excess gear is usually dropped when a...

    What's the PH's responsibility--

    The Professional hunter is sometimes a bit of a tour guide. However he is a Professional Hunter and not a professional shopper. It's one thing to head into a town for an afternoon or eventing to let the folks shop and browse, it's another to end the hunt 4 days early and then expect this as a...

    Where in Africa would you go to hunt

    Still a bit of a content issue regarding the way this is written, PH's don't organise hunts unless they are also Outfitters, The two jobs and licenses are completley different. I know I have a PH license but not an Outfitter license! The text is better but was really confusing the way you had it...

    Where in Africa would you go to hunt

    SJ, I'm not sure where your terminology comes from? Maybe English is not your first language? A PH is a "professional Hunter" not a hunting area. The east cape is in South Africa they are both "RSA" Not all game managed land in southern Africa is fenced. Certainly the Eastern Cape is fenced...

    I'm outta here in May, I'm fishing for Redfish the first few days Of May in Mosqueto lagoon Florida, then home to kiss the wife good by. She is not going this year, too bad I really like having her work there for me. Oh yeah there are other advantages too. Anyway it will be a busy trip as I am...

    Cape Buffalo

    I think its important to have a very experiecne PH where buffalo are concerned. Much like hunting big bears, the first one you see will look big enough. Also when you see a group of 50 or more you will struggle to sort them out for yourself. Remember too that Buffalo have a "look" and size that...

    Be careful when requesting minimum size Kudu

    Over the last 13 years of my work hunting in Africa regardless of the country. Kudu seem to be the most popular or most highly sought after trophy by the majority of hunters. Sure most want buffalo or leopard etc. However the Kudu seems to be the animal that is a must have by nearly all Hunters...

    Mine are made by Colmen the camping company but I think they are the same thing?

    Tuffpak or SKB

    This is a post from another site I put up on this. Not an exact answer but it sheds some light on the topic and I did not have to type it all over again! Your concerns are well founded and good to ask about. I travel very frequently with a rifle and or Archery equipment on the airlines. They...
