Round The Fire With Kingsview Safaris

Oh boy is this a tough discussion to have around the fire, when your dream animal ends up with a few unwanted bullet holes in it!

No one enjoys going after wounded animals, its every hunter's nightmare and when on a paid hunting safari it can certainly increase the pressure levels.

But who actually gets the final shot on a wounded animal? The hunter or the PH?

This was an interview I really enjoyed recording. I was joined by Aaron Lassila, who recently picked up an African Hunting trip through an auction at a local Ducks Unlimited banquet.

Aaron and I discussed the process he is going through for planning the trip, his expectations and the preparations to ensure he has a great time.

I am sure many of you listening that have been to Africa can relate to what Aaron has to say and for those who are in his shoes may learn a thing or two. If you would like to contact Aaron to discuss his trip and get some advice you can contact me and I will pass on his email address.

Enjoy and please Rate & Review.

The growth of the Hunting Industry in South Africa is fantastic, it generates a good income, creates jobs, adds towards conservation and everyone benefits in the long run.....or do they?

I have a different take on the future of small outfitters within the hunting industry of South Africa and it does not look good!

A PH has a lot to consider when setting their client up for a shot. From the species they are targeting, setting the sticks up correctly, how will the animal react after the shot? Is the client looking at the right bull? How many animals are in the herd and what is unique about the animal to tell it apart from the herd?

For the client, the train of thought of simple is simple, focus on the animal that the PH points out, steady the scope and squeeze the trigger.

In this episode I talk about what went through my mind when setting the client up for a shot.

A Professional Hunter is the glue between you and a successful safari. No matter how fancy the lodge, how big your budget is, or how many quality animals are on display, if you have a sh**ty PH.....then you will have a sh**ty time.

Thankfully, in this episode I will highlight a few signs to look for that may help you determine whether or not you got paired with a sh**ty PH.

ANNOUNCEMENT: If you have any hunting stories, whether they are funny stories, horror stories, or amazing adventure stories to share but you don't want to record an episode on the podcast, then send me an email and I'll read out your story at the beginning of the latest episode.

I was recently a guest on the Saltlick Outdoors (Saltlick Worldwide) Podcast and had a great chat with the guys. We initially wanted to discuss the role that AI could play in the hunting industry, but the conversation flowed so nicely that we ended up covering all aspects of the industry.

Enjoy the episode and remember to rate and review. Thanks!!

Note: There are one or two places in the episode where the audio drops in quality, unfortunately that was out of our control. The quality does come back.

In this episode, I had a great chat with David from Canada who shared his experience of hunting in Namibia and his enjoyment of reading and sharing the literature of the legend that is Peter Hathaway Capstick.

Words like conservation, preservation and restoration have been popular marketing gimics and get thrown around without anyone truly understanding what they mean and what it entails to uphold them. This is especially true when it comes to the debate of hunting vs photographic safaris and which contributes more to conservation.

The real backbone to conservation however, is the economics and in this episode I breakdown why that is the case.
