I had several reactions to the statement.

1. How good of this fellow to come out and teach us idiot colonials how to run a safari and hunting camp!

But then he is also a colonial.

I think the pampered life of the Zim PH may be in for a shock when there is no one to cook meals for the client, no one to do the daily laundry, no one to drive the 'cruiser for him, no one to do his tracking for him, no one to skin and cape the buff for him.

The Aboriginals would laugh at him when he offers $300 a year for slave labour while charging clients US$800 a day!

No "management" here, hands on is what is required!

2. I also thought, oh great, prices will be going up!

Considering the professional hunting industries in Southern Africa have priced the local hunters completely out of the buff market and any sort of trophy hunting, we don't want these foreignors doing it here.

Even now a water buff hunt is the same price almost as a cape buff in Southern Africa, which to me is ridiculous.

3. I do sympathise however. Lots of Zim's in Aust now, most living on charity as they are not allowed to work. Many were prosperous and hard working farmers, so if he does setup here I hope his loyalties are also given and he understands how things work here.

4. Mmmm - the NT outfitters like their closed shop.

5. I wondered if he is one of the Zim PH's who were looking to bash Bob Penfold for saying it wasn't safe to hunt in Zim, better to hunt in a safe country like Aussie.

Mickey - I didn't know that individual has never hunted here. I guess the sudden interest is in how to make a quid down here.

It will be interesting to see if or how this turns out.

Again it is a pity we don't have outfitter support and government support for a professional hunters assoc in Aust. I like the rule of citizens only - ie as in Zim.
