Nitro i did have a good read of it also and it all seems to come to easy for the mag writers no matter the continent or whichever place on earth they hunt on and i reckon its a case of reading between the lines and coming up with my original post.
And my original post is or was simply an observation/analysis of some hunting pics pertaining to the story with them....

Well some replies so far said it sounded as if it was a ranch job and only one so far has said the colonel did it all fair and square and they walked from the bottom (?) but that it was done with another company (meaning outfitter) so i can imagine myself that he would say something in that vein. Birds Of a Feather..........

I'm guessing this hunt took place on a "reserve" on one of the high country stations. I haven't seen many women dressed like that wandering around where I normally chase Thar!! "

"Looks like another game ranch scenario.
Just isnt the same as the real thing but for alot of people they dont know any different."

"Well,
I can tell you that that was all free range, Craig Boddington is without doubt the straightest shooting and well know American hunting author in the world today. The hunt was conducted by another company, not us. But it was free range and they walked from the bottom. Private land"
