I will not comment on the use of "curls" at all. Here is how my PH mentor, the late Jan Marais, taught me:
If you draw a line from the start of the horn more or less in the direction of where the start points to, you will see that the line is pointing AWAY from the center-line of the kudu's...
Good idea to ask about this from the potential users! :bulb:
I would only include in a package those trophy species that are really available in good numbers - so that getting a good specimen by any hunter, even an inexperienced first timer, is just about a given.
The real motif of...
My starting statement was not as well worded as it should have been. I wish to do my bit to "prevent Put & Take shooting being cleverly disguised as hunting." Condemning Put & Take shooting will have absolutely no effect - people make money by doing it! I am not going to waste my time attempting...
In this second posting on an aspect of hunting that I make in response to Gerhard Damm plea to do something about Put & Take killing. I again start by defining the subject. I am using someone else definition so that if attacked about the definition I have a strong and powerful ally on my side...
Jaco, Thanks for the moral support!
spike.t, I really feel for those who own a far to small property to get rich from hunting only the excess trophies I知 one too! If a hunting outfitter's marketing is so successful that his trophy demand outstrips his ready trophy supply he has to...
Before any subject is discussed it is always a good idea to firstly define exactly what is being discussed. So let us attempt to define Put & Take shooting. Here a quote from an article by Gerhard Damm, an internationally well known and respected conservationist. Hunting & Related Issues |...
Congratulations!
Hi John and Cameron,
Congratulations on a well planned and executed adventure. Thanks for ridding your country of a few more introduced pests. Pity though to waste the meat, or use it as pig bait.
What does the meat of a well killed [DRT] younger camel taste like...
My view is one of those with no vote. Why? I'm a South African Hunting Outfitter and thought I should note vote on this one.
For the record, I am, by my choice, not a member of PHASA. Reason? The very poor record and stance they have against "Put & Take" shooting, as I refuse to call it...
Hunting in South Africa by South Africans - Regulations & Seasons
Hello masterlucas3,
Most of the questions that you have asked have been replied to, but briefly as is fitting for such a discussion forum.
Any more detailed reply will start with words like: South Africa has 9 provinces, and...
A "must read" for all hunters intending to visit SA.
This is surely a "must read" for anyone even considering booking a hunt in South Africa.
I do however wish to question PHASA's interpretation of the regulations in one respect; The timing for signing a Remuneration Agreement.
In the...
If it sounds to good to be true.........?
There is simply absolutely NO WAY that anyone can "hunt" in any South African National Park!
I echo the question by Neil: Inside or adjacent to KNP?
What is meant by ".....SANCTIONED HUNT......"?
In good hunting.

Second attempt at explaining my offer. Hope this works better!
Macs B,
Yes, my offer is poorly worded. :eek: Fortunately, as I hope you will find out personally when hunting as my client, I'm a much better PH than written communicator!:D
I need to get some bookings for next year - not so much...
Special Discounted Hunting Packages for the 2010 season.
A number of trophy plus cull animal hunting packages are offered for 2010 in a manner aimed at getting my booking calendar filled up as soon as possible. The ‘discount’ offered is therefore coupled by the timing of payment of the booking...
Ethics are in the eye of the beholder!
Someone once made the very accurate observation and said: "Ethics are in the eye of the beholder." On this forum we are discussing now only hunting ethics. Discuss business ethics and ethics about other matters elsewhere. I have often expressed my views on...

Thanks Ian for bringing up this issue.

The one very real, but seldom manifested, danger in oryx/gemsbuck trophy in-field evaluation is if you encounter a solitary young calf. The body / horns proportions of a very yound calf is very similar to that of an adult.
The following has happened to very a experienced gemsbuck hunter...
I'll be glad to keep in contact with you. I'm also new to this partucular forum, but have been a part-time PH for 26 or so years. In addition to haveing limited DG guiding experience I'm probably to old to instill confidence when guiding a client on DG! But I do get the occasional request for...
