Not specific here in any way, I think fat unfit clients , should NOT (edited to add missing word!) fit into any special category of crippled, disabled or elderly clients getting special "methods".
Did somebody call me?
To a degree (a large degree) that's a good description of me, but I have never expected or received any "special methods". The only difference is I'm slower and need (or want) to have a break more regularly.
My Eland hunt in Namibia in 2005 was probably the hardest hunt that I have had to do. No concession from the PH. It was late November, so very hot. Hour after hour of squatting, crawling on hands and knees (bleeding knees by this point) with an occasional 5 minutes walking on hind legs as we were designed to do. That animal means more to me than any other because I worked BLOODY hard for it. It would have meant nought if I had shot it at a trough in the first hour.

and i am also against this shopping basked hunting where clients "order" the species according to size area and qty..
so i can assure you, we do everything in our power to keep hunting as real and ethical as we can, we want even the newbie to go back and say, hell Africa is a challenge, but it is great..
instead of them going back and saying we fulfilled the order on date as specified.
I think I have only taken 3 animals on each of my hunts in Africa. To me the quantity of animals is not so important. I'm not a collector.
The important part for me was time in bush, things to see/hear/smell, small bits of random trivial info from the PH as we see things in the bush.
It is a total experience, not the number of animals in the salt.
Anyway, that's just my 2 bobs worth.
