I might as well have a little say here as it is something that has concerned me after watching a few of the videos floating around the web. Having spent a lifetime hunting here in New Zealand, top end of Australia on buffalo, and a year in Germany hunting on my "jagdschein" I have always dreamed of a trip to Africa and will do this one day. Am also a firearms safety instructor so of course always have this foremost in my mind when hunting.

My question to those in the know. Why so many involved in a hunt in Africa. From videos such as the leopold attack, lion charge, etc. it seems as though everyone is tripping over each other. So many on the scene many carrying rifles, some videoing, trackers, and some obviously just along for the ride. An accident waiting to happen when the hunted animal decides to do something about being shot or annoyed on his home ground. I half expect one day to see the chuck wagon tagging along at the rear to feed the hungry, thirsty mob!

I don't think I like what I see and certainly if this is representative of hunting in Africa, then it is not for me. I'm a hunter, not a shooter, and I don't need observers to tell me how good a shot I have made or to carry the tape measure and record book to instantly class my "trophy".

What's wrong with a good hard old fashion stalk with a guide (PH), culminating in a clean shot on a representative animal of the species. Does it have to be the biggest and the best and number one in the record book and of course inevitably charging.

God I wish we could have Taylor and Bell back on earth again. I would gladly trudge in their footsteps and carry their gun for them.
