What I was referring to in a round about way is -

sometimes on the internet some person is held out to be a great hunter, having been on umpteenth safaris, taken many dozens head of game.

But my question is what does this really add up to?

From my limited experience safari hunting in Africa really isn't that hard. If you can shoot straight and walk a bit most of it isn't really that challenging.

Not wanting to pick a fight (well actually I do as I want to get a red-blooded discussion going

).

Basically if you can wake up in the morning, climb into a cruiser, get out of the cruiser, maybe walk a few kilometres, shoot straight. The game scouts and PH will have scouted for you, worked out the game movements and likely locations. They will usually spot the game for you, judge and point out the best one or that none of them are shooters. If it is wounded they will track it for you. Load the carcarse into the vehicle after blazing a track to it. Gut it, skin it, cape it and even cook it for you!

Compare this to the typical self-guided Aussie or North American hunt where all of this is done by you - the hunter.

My best and most valued trophies are the ones where I did all the hard work myself.

Of course the luxury of an African camp is beyond compare. It's quite nice to have a hot shower after a hot day, eat a 4 course gourmet meal with individual waiter service, drink fine wines and then enjoy a cuban with a glass of cognac by the fire.

But would you compare an average self-guided elk trophy done entirely by yourself with a record class kudu shot 10 metres yards away from the bakkie in the first hour of the first day of your safari?

Comments anyone?
