a lot of PH or Pro Guides Associations are self-regulating. But there may be a requirement to operate as a guide a person must be a qualified member.
It does not need to even have that, as it can be voluntary and then its members can advertise it as being ethical hunting.
ie no shooting deer in 10 acre pens, deer farms etc. No spotlighted "trophies", no shooting from helicopters for "trophies" (we even have a guy by the name of Mark Sullivan in the NT who advertises these sorts of hunts!). No spotting game from helos and getting out for a quick shot etc etc.
This sort of stuff is going more on than is ever published. Just look at some 'writers' deer heads and then fish for the true stories. It is a wonder why the good operators don't want to see it cleaned up?
Maybe an ethical qualified Zim PH could be a positive influence after all!!!
