I am definitely painting with a braid brush, and I in no means want to imply that all outfitters or package hunts in South Africa are bad. Im just trying to rattle the cage a bit and get people to think a but different than we have been accustomed to. Get some new life and fire into the industry...

I do not disagree with that. A cull hunt or damage control hunt can still be interesting and worthwhile in its own right. My point is not that every hunt has to fit some old romantic ideal to have value. It is that different kinds of hunts should be understood and presented for what they are...

L Love the analogy

Fair point, and I agree that this is not only a South African issue. Truly wild hunting is getting rarer almost everywhere, and where it still exists it usually comes at a high price. My point was less that all of Southern Africa used to be wild and now is not, and more that too much of modern...

One of the things that removes the romance from an African safari is too much certainty. Yes, there are species where a shot opportunity can be close to guaranteed simply because the animals are abundant. That is reality. In some areas, species like springbuck or impala are common enough that...

Where did we say that we would hunt him at full price? We didn’t mention anything about price anywhere. Price would definitely be discussed with any potential client before the hunt commenced and we would tell them “if we see that specific bull this is the price” then they can let us know...

Hi guys, A couple of days ago I had the privilege to lay eyes on this majestic bull. A true old warrior. Both horns broken off at the same point and an incredible body size and neck (the pictures don't do him justice). To me this is an incredible bull and the trophy of a lifetime. I have seen...

Would anyone be interested in seeing a wild game cooking show incorporated into the hunting shows, or as a separate episode just about different styles of cooking african game? Field to table kind of stuff.

Those are fair points.

Very interesting points. Something we will keep in mind in our future videos as well! I like the last sentence, its very true hahaha

Very true, but you get product reviews for specific products, for the people looking to perhaps buy that item and not sure if its right for them. Thats more of the product review I was thinking of, not embedded in a hunting video.

How do you prefer longer videos (45minutes +) or shorter videos (5 - 25 minutes)?

That is something we will look at when we film with clients next. I think it mainly is because the client is paying for the video and camera crew in many instances so they focus more on him, and the outfitter may just have the rights to use the video for marketing purposes.

What are some YouTube videos that you would enjoy watching from the point of view of an African Outfitter?

Doing some warthog culling with the 300PRC. The numbers of warthog has really exploded in our area over the past couple of years. A decade ago there weren't any.
