A while back i watched a behind the scenes video of a crew filming a hunting show,
while watching this behind the scenes i realized that hunters are the same no matter where they are from...
These guys rented a cabin not 5 Star all self help with the basic necessities and the had fun, BBQ sitting
around a camp fire having a ball of a time without waiters & staff trying to please them...
This got me thinking
Over the years specifically South Africa based hunting for international guests became in my opinion
more in the line of hunting hotels rather than lodges, or at least my perception what a hunting camp should
be like...
As a South African hunter i kinda believe when on a hunt i should tough it out a bit, prepare my own food and just
live like a Hunter.. not shave for the time out there and just be a man, not worry about the creature comforts in life..
Now this is my question to this forum, is hunting specifically South Africa becoming a bit to fancy
Don't you guys just want to get out there and tough it out, prepare your own food, live like you want and just tough
it out a bit, walk and stalk hunt, and be as close to nature as you can..
for me i believe added to the experience it also brings saving, if outfits did not need to maintain these camps with
all the comforts of home, staff running around making sure everything is in place it could make hunting more affordable as well..
What is your thoughts on this ?
