Money is certainly one of the prerequisites to DG hunting. Maybe an adventurous spirit is another, I don't know.

I did it and continue to do it because I am lucky enough to have the means and I have found that I love it.

At first, I wondered if I could do it. I wondered if I would feel fear, if my nerve would hold. I thought that I could and would manage well enough, but one never knows until one is tested. Self-confidence is definitely a prerequisite to DG hunting. But shooting straight can be a bit tougher when one's life might depend on it.

For me, hunting DG was and continues to be a personal test and an intensely personal experience altogether. And it is also an adventure that makes all others pale in comparison.

I have never hunted only plains game while on safari. I need the spice of pursuing DG to get and keep me interested. It makes my blood run fast and hot. So much so, that I doubt that I will ever hunt in Africa unless dangerous game is on license.
