Goeie dag During my hunt in Namibia last year, I had no issue communicating with the PH's, as they were perfectly bi-lingual, but the trackers and skinners were not, and I would have loved to have been able to chat with them, even a little, to learn a bit about them, and show some appreciation...

There is a very slim chance I may be in the US for a conference in early October next year. If i were to be in the states during that time, I would very likely tack on a hunt of some sort while I'm there, but i dont know what seasons are open, or what you can hunt around that time? Is there...
