Happy New Year and hello from the highlands of Scotland!

A long-term lurker who drops by for the odd hunting reports etc. A bit of an unusual one from here on out but to sell myself:

I’m in my mid-20s and grew up stalking red deer in the North west coast of Scotland and have spent the last 5 years in the British army as a sniper and specialised in long-range reconnaissance. I’m about to head off on another Tour but the so what of all of this is I get 10 weeks paid leave at the end and would like to come work for room and board whilst living in the bush. Whether that’s helping with the training of anti-poaching teams in trauma medicine, contact drills, or ideally akin to an Appie for a few months.

Happy to discuss details of my CV with anyone to whom this might appeal to. As is typical with my work I don’t have hard dates yet but likely to be around October in 2024 when I’d be available from.

Thanks for your time.
 
Welcome to AH! Have you read any of Hunters African books?
My Africana books collection has only been going a couple years and I enviously eye up a few when people post them here. but I've got a couple that I think everyone on here would enjoy.
Sunshine and storm in Rhodesia (Selous), the end of the game (beard).

Good day! Welcome from our side too!
 
Welcome!

Here are some anti-poaching companies operating in SA/ROA (rest of Africa). I do not know anyone within them, only about them. They seem to accept volunteers. The Protrack company, from its website offers a 8 week volunteer program.

If you want to join the SA company (Protrack), I noted they operate from Hoedspruit, then you are welcome to contact me, we have a family farm close to Hoedspruit and I can tell you more about the area (or SA), how to travel there etc.

There are also a few private owned companies with private concensions whose details I can provide you, they might be interested (I do not want share these on public forum)

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
