Hi Nitro X

Thank you for both replies and the AHI gen. If it's not too late I'll be trying to get a booth there also one at Coffs Harbour. If you make it either show please come and say hi. That also goes for any other forum members.

The courses will take place at the Goss Estates PH Academy in Kwa-Zulu Natal.... which has the reputation of being the hardest of the academies to qualify with. The owner (Ian Goss) was until recently president of PHASA (the Pro Hunters assoc of SA)

The first course (1-9 April) now has 2 vacancies left and the second (1-9 May) has (I believe 3 vacancies) There will be a maximum of 8 students per course. The 2 main instructors will be Ian Goss and myself. Then we bring in other people for "speciality subjects" like tropical medicine etc.

Whilst we do now have the syllabus completed, it is far too long to post here, but if anyone would like to see a copy I'll be glad to postone to them. All I need is their postal address. Yours is already on it's way to you!

The lodge is very comfortable and the course is a whole lot of fun. The whole area has great game herds and is especially well known for really great kudu, nyala and red duiker. If anyone wants to stay on afterwards for a plains game hunt the daily rate is US130 per hunter..... and boy, did I have to twist Ians arm to get it that cheap!!!

Cheers
