    If this is lion hunting…. You can have it

    I've already seen this firsthand in Namibia in the 80's. Old lions, carried from elsewhere, were kept in cages, starving, and released only a few hours before the "hunter" arrived. Then he was told, he's lucky, they just tracked an old, big lion with much of a mane. Most likely, the animal just...

    If this is lion hunting…. You can have it

    No, it depends on the situation. When I have to go so close to a dangerous animal, just for the thrill of it, then I can not do this only because I know, there's always someone whose responsibility is, to save me. In such a case: do it right at the first moment - or face the consequences. You...

    If this is lion hunting…. You can have it

    For 25 years I was friend and business partner with PH all over the world. That came from my profession. I hunted not too much but had my share of it. So I'm quite familiar with their business and their responsibility towards their clients. I didn't criticize any of them in my post, I just...

    If one wants the thrill of bow hunting, well, it's up to him. But then, don't expect a PH-back up. You might have gotten your thrill - but then face the consequences, if something goes awry ! If you're a bow hunter, you know 2 things for sure: 1st you have to go close to your target 2nd even...

    Another Hello from New Brunswick

    I always loved to be at the Dortmund fair as an exhibitor. So many wonderful people from all over the world to be met and to do business with them. I was there from the first event on until I sold my business towards the end of 1999, and even still the next year to introduce my successor to all...

    Another Hello from New Brunswick

    Thanks to you all. Here is a summary reply to some of the comments: First of all: I haven't hunted since I hit Canadian soil, but I have planned to at least participate in a safety course any time soon and afterwards I might think about purchasing a rifle again. For I have my hands full with...

    Another Hello from New Brunswick

    Howdy everybody. I write from NB, where I live for almost 18 years now, originating from Germany. In my heydays (1980 - 2000), I founded and run for 20 years a forwarding company and customs brokerage at Frankfurt airport, specializing in shipping and clearing hunting trophies. I had a...
