There are only two absolutes in life, death and thanks to democrats, taxes. Well for at least 50% of us anyway, but I digress. To further expand on what Allen said, I've hunted with John Sharp twice and I don't think you will find a more ethical PH. You WILL walk your ass off. However, just to demonstrate nothing is absolute, I proffer the following analogy: We were on the last day of a very successful buff & plains game hunt. So much so, that my wife and I were off with John's apprentice PH "Spanner" looking at aboriginal rock paintings. My friend Todd, was having a run of bad luck with kudu. Normally a fantastic shot, I guess he must have gotten buck fever as he missed an easy upper 50/low 60s class kudu in the thick jess at less than 30 yards. Others turned out to live up to their moniker of "grey ghost." Anyhow with just about 30 minutes of light left, a kudu offered a shot, stopping on top of a ridge at a later measured distance of 352 yards (lazered). He was pretty spooky, so John let my friend settle and get a good rest from the back of the truck, using the roll bar as a rest. It was a thing of beauty. One 300gr Swift A Frame right on the spine and the 55" kudu was his, a fitting end to a great hunt. Was that ethical? I absolutely think so. To think otherwise I think is rather altruistic. jorge
