Sorry for dragging it back to the original question. I think the point you are trying to make is that maybe some of the blokes who have written books on the subject and have hunted everything and everywhere, have only done it because they have the money. Not all of course but I think there would be a few cases of "professional clients "living in lurury Hemingway champagne safaris, having the guide drive them up to within strolling distance of a good buff/elephant/nyala/sable etc ,letting them take a shot ,then quickly stepping in to finish the animal off.Then its pink gin and champagne and off for a cruise to anotherwell setup shot.
What makes me think this is a freind of mine,who is realy a very nice bloke and keen hunter. He has hunted all over Africa and some places in India,Malaysia and U.S (as well as home in OZ). Thing is ,he is a terrible shot, even more so of hand, he is unfit,has no bush sense,noisy, poor eyesight, just generaly not suited to hunting, though he has a fair few good trophies and lots of good yarns. I like to go hunting with him still, just to listen to his stories(most of which are basicly true) by the campfire.
As for guides, when I lived where I grew up and then when I moved to N.T, I didnt think anyone would pay big money to take them hunting. Now I dont know property owners in my area, and most properties are shy of hunters, I have had to go through guides now. I would love to be able to just go out by myself and family, camping and hunting, but nowadays, the only places we can do this ,have been hunted out. So if I want a good ,hunt ,I have to go through a guide.
