"Now it is pleasant to hunt something that you want very much over a long period of time, being outwitted, out-maneuvered, and failing at the end of each day, but having the hunt and knowing every time you are out that, sooner or later, your luck will change and that you will get a chance that you are seeking. But it is not pleasant to have a time limit by which you must get your kudu or perhaps never get it, nor even see one." Ernest Hemingway 1935.

Professional Hunters privilege

"A professional hunter will, during the course of his career, be called upon to act in more parts than most other professions.

As cook, doctor, mechanic, planner, counselor, guide, arbitrator, skinner, manager, gunsmith, marksman, friend, barman, advisor and a host of other activities, apart from being part-zoologist, botanist, ornithologist, geologist and historian, he will be expected to have a general knowledge of the politics, geography and other aspects of many countries including his own. Above all, he will have to accept the work and worries of a 17 hour working day during which he and he alone, will be held responsible for all that goes wrong, or well.

Nevertheless, it is a good life, rewarding and exciting and should he exel and become truly a pro, he will join the ranks of a very exclusive and honorable group of internationally recognized gentleman.

Last but not least, is the fact that professional hunting is full of surprises. Every day spent in the bush adds a little more knowledge. No two hunts are the same and only after very many days, months and years spent hunting with fellow professional hunters, staff and clients, will a man gain the experience required."

(Stephen J. Smith - 1988)
