This is reasonable. Most likely I would do the same.

What were the reasons stated for this advice?

I never had the luxury of having specific animal shape designed target. I stick to geometry shaped targets, I follow the MOA doctrine, and keep shooting. On occasion, I do have roe deer 1:1 size targets, that were proven OK. If I can keep roe deer vital zone accuracy at various distances, most...

This is the level, when if this happened to me, I would change my country of residence.

Shoot him poorly at 100 meters, and have real DG experience. I dont mind shooting at 100 meters. (which actually I did) Stalking in bush, 5 meters visibility, is something I really do not like.

General safety rules, applied in various type of hunts. Basics ones are explained by hunt master before the hunt. It covers 99% of situations. Till special people join the hunt. So, I had few bad experiences. I had my blind maintained by me including my feeder. Once we got new member, and I was...

Mine too! I said major defining factor, not the only one. Keep in mind after all, the package is for example "7 days buffalo hunt". Remove buffalo from description, and you have 7 days of sightseeing and bird watching. But not hunt. Yes, there are some other hunts with lower chance of success...

@yukonspirit @Tusker Major defining point of a hunt to be successful is actually having opportunity to shoot. In this case, the shot was taken. And opportunity was presented. This goes in favor of outfitter and PH, and brings more scrutiny to hunter. Critical part of dangerous game hunt is a...

Absolutely. Bufffalos passing 100 meters from camp, would apply, I suppose? Lion roar from the bush, in dark night would apply? In Europe, during a hunt, when taking a break, to light a fire to make sausages on stick, or to make cold cuts snack, break action guns are break open, or bolts on...

Yes, I got it now! Initially I missed asterix (*).

I wanted to be polite, and did not reply the way you describe. But yes, of course. You are spot on! Brits: they go hunting with rifle in a bag, rifle pulled out when game is spotted. Americans: carry pistols on CCW in condition 1. Different culture, plus laws

Firearms hunting etiquette, or safety depends on where you come from. And where you actually are. In my country, (EU), rifle is empty in car, transported in bag or case empty, unloaded in safe, loaded only in a hunt, or on the range. Besides, that is the local law. No choice But in Africa, if...
