For me, I actually don't remember!

I remember enjoying the low grade Tarzan movies as a kid and actually when I was about 8 had a moment of clarity when I realised I enjoyed hunting, the Tarzan movies always showed hunting as bad, but hunting wasn't bad so the movies were indoctrinating.

My father did not hunt but did shoot animals and birds as pests to protect crops. My grandfather and his ancestors were great hunters but only locally.

I remember watching "Out of Africa" around about 1986 or 7 and that built up my resolve to go and live in Africa. But the spark was already there as I had already decided I wanted to live there after I finished University.

Did not read Capstick till years later and never saw an African hunting video to a decade later. Probably after hunting there in fact.

What probably sparked the desire was a series of articles in an Australian magazine by Col Allison about his Zimbabwean safari for buffalo, elephant, sable and assorted other game. Back when $250 to $350 a day was the daily rates for a big game hunt and Black rhino cost $4000. Dangerous to use prices quoted in a magazine as the hunt may have been ten years earlier.
