In 2020, I sent out questionnaires to some of the top, more established hunting outfitters and professional hunters in South Africa. I asked them for guidance and advice that they would pass on to new PHs. From that info, I wrote the book Take It From Us - A compilation of advice and guidance on becoming a quality Professional hunter.

Over the coming few weeks, I will read the book chapter by chapter and the responses to the questionnaires given by the outfitters.

If you would like a copy of the book in PDF format, send an email to [email protected], it's completely free and all I ask for in return is a positive review on either Spotify or Apple podcasts.

Enjoy the episode.

It's been over a year since I last published a podcast episode and there is good reason for it.

A lot has happened, and many things have changed but most importantly, Round The Fire is back and we have more episodes lined up.

If you enjoyed this episode please leave a review on Apple Podcast or Spotify.

Thanks

This is a re-launch of Episode 11, where I had the great opportunity to have Jim Shockey on my podcast and chat with him about hunting in Africa.

I decided to clean up the audio and rework the episode a little bit for anyone that was new to the podcast. Jim Shockey needs no introduction to fellow hunters and his wealth of knowledge and experiences on hunting was really enjoyable to listen to.

Every Man MUST Hunt, not because we need higher numbers of hunters or to create some kind of movement, but rather every man must hunt because the values that hunting teaches you can be used in everyday life.

As men, there is a lot expected of us and it seems the weight on our shoulders never stops growing, but just like packing out an elk or loading a kudu bull, you push through the tough times because you know in the end it will be worth it.

Hope you enjoy the episode.
