Who to follow (or not)?

Hunting with a PH you trust is a great thing but do you really need a trusted PH on a cull hunt? For a cull hunt I would probably lean the Outfitters way because any PH he gives you will be able to point out culls for you to shoot.

I suppose that makes sense. The bar to become a PH is much higher than it is to become a guide in the Lower 48 in the US (just need a pickup truck and binoculars).
 
We all get attached to our Ph’s for the most part. I am no different.
It’s really tough because when traveling so far into a foreign land it’s great to be with a familiar face.
I will say that for me, being a true adventurous type, I really like meeting new people and going to new places. In hunting we are all friends, we’ve just not all met yet.

A single employee leaves for one reason or another. A group of employees leaving may signal something else. If I had a mechanic for my car, who did good work and treated me the way I wanted to be treated, I would not hesitate to follow him to another shop. Or, if after checking out the new shop I did not like the facilities, attitude or willingness to value me as a customer, I would expand my search. Bottom line, as said before, you are the client and customer. Do not be afraid to do your due diligence and open up the search for a good or better match.
 
All that glitters, is not always gold. Don't mean to be clich'e. There could be underlying factors, or not?
Years ago, I worked as a guide for a well respected outfitter in the Madison Valley of Montana. He had a quality outfit, and was good to his clients, but had a tendency to be an A-hole to employees. He treated his horses better then he did me.

Despite that, he had many repeat clients.

As a client, you never know what is going on behind the scenes.?

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike

I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
