Comments anyone?"

Well you can read my mind on this one John as i even hate paying my $40 game stamp,i do it all my self or with a mate or two ...we have hot showers, great tucker, and a warm comfortable camp except we do it all ourselves stuff such as find our own game,hunt,shoot,gut,carryout,skin,capeout,saltdown,cook,draw water,cut firewood,load/unload,pack in/packout etc and what a memorable experience it is to do so too.......doing the lot is a learning curve that is all experience and of course knowledge is no weight to carry.

I`m afraid i would probably break the rules and jump in and help the skinners in doing my trophy Kudu or anything that i took in a pro camp in Africa for instance,even get out and knock a bit of wood up with the Yanks as well on a lull day just to get the feel of the animal or the way the axe splits a diff wood...there is far more to hunting than just pulling a trigger on an animal and sitting back in camp later on drinking mint juleps mate,of course you know that anyway.
You asked mate and my thoughts on pro clients are that they often will wilt under pressure of having to do all of the above,hey wait a minute even if i was wealthy enough to be a pro client i still want to climb after argali`s and wild sheep etc i dont want the deluxe chopper trip either.
I have spoken to a few o/s visitors here and some of those rich boys would have to go on a starvation diet to get game where i hunt John.
