Why was Sampie Potgieter selling this hunt also ? Just curiosity.

The guys that got to write those books were the survivors. Just coming to the end of J. A. Hunters book “White Hunter”. A recommended read for any of us. In the course of the book he mentions several hunters who never made it to retirement. I was on a training course the past week. For real life...
