What's a PH?

Never hunted with one (except a mate who guides, then on his day off!), so there's no question. Many of my friends have hunted buffalo alone too many times to count, self included, so you learn very quickly to rely on no-one.

I would be very uncomfortable if the decisions were being made by a PH who is wondering whether I'm fit enough, whether I can shoot, whether I'll get 'buck fever', how close I need to get, etc. IMHO, when I am the only one making decisions, trouble is far less likely to occur.

I realise I am in the minority here, not trying to make a point, just offering another perspective.
