Pres. Masisi took over on the 1st of April. Hopefully he will bring about change wrt trophy hunting.

This is just the start of the decline in Botswana wildlife. Since the banning of legal trophy hunting the only value that these animals have is to the poachers out there. I sincerely hope that Mr Masisi will see the light and accept the true facts of what is happening...and finaly lift the ban...

Hi fellow AH members! I am the PH -actually the appie learning to become a real PH- with Mr Leach at TMS. During this past year I have learnt that hunting truly wild sable requires a special skill set. They are illusive, cunning and it seems as if the hunting gods always back them. Just when you...

As Bruce Springsteen once sang.." we take care of our own" Thank you Mr Leach

I was so looking forward to experience Theunis Botha's methods this year....but now that will never happen. I am saddened by the nasty comments that some people have made regarding this tragedy. I agree with Mr Leach...yellow belly scum. As far as I know Theunis was not only a passionate and...

Welcome Diana. This is a truly remarkable site and the members are very knowledgeable and helpful. I am starting my PH apprenticeship TMS Safaris ( under the guidance of Mr Simon Leach) in Mozambique shortly. Hope to see you there some day.

Just waiting for the paperwork to be settled...and then my journey starts...through the plains and bush of Mozambique...and under the guidance of one of the finest Professional Hunters around...Mr Simon Leach of TMS! I can't wait!!

This why you are blessed Mr Leach...what an amazing gesture.

Thanks to all for the advice and best wishes. Being a "Paper PH" at this stage of my life I will be the greatest fool not to listen and learn from the experienced hunters out there. To Mr Leach...thank you a million times for giving me this opportunity...for taking a chance on a raw...

About 8 weeks to go...my journey on becoming a real PH and an adventure of a life time is around the corner. I know that being a PH is not the glamorous job so many think it is, but this is my calling... thanks to Mr Simon Leach and TMS Safaris who has given me the chance to be trained by him...

Hunting is a way of life for most of us...it is a life filled and ruled by morals and unwritten rules. The rush of a fair chase is what makes us tick. I believe you only have the right to hunt and take a life if you can respect life. These idiots clearly do not...hopefully mother nature will...

32Bn, the forgotten and forsaken soldiers of the old SADF would swing this war in no time at all. Although they are not young anymore they would sure still pack a mean punch!! Go get them!!

The African bush has a funny way of deciding what she offers you....never pass any opportunity...she is not always that kind!

And that you will Josh!

Whatever combination you choose....make sure a Kudu is part of that. As TMS said : "It shouts Africa"! There are so many local South African hunters that have never had the opportunity to bag a great Kudu bull. So if the opportunity is there, take it.....you might never see one again!

My dad is one of the many men that was part of the Bush War when he was a youngster. He always said that dust, sweat, sun and adrenaline turns a boy into a man...Mr Leach has given me the opportunity to experience the same....and from what I have read my path has crossed with the right man.

Thank you Mr Leach....those words will become my motto! Thanks for all the good wishes from everyone on this forum.

Thank you Clayton. This is what I wanted to do since my first hunt with my dad at the ripe age of 2! Hunted my first antelope at 7....and now it is time to go all the way!

Dreams do come true!!! Thank you so much to Mr Simon Leach of TMS Safaris for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime!! I will be doing my PH apprenticeship under his guidance during the 2017 season!! I am looking forward to be trained by such an accomplished outfitter and PH!

I enjoyed all the comments above. Gemsbok are stunning animals and I enjoy hunting them. I thought it would be great to share my dream Gemsbok bull with you. It was hunted during June 2014 in the Okahandja district Namibia. It surely was a trophy of a lifetime. It measured a wopping 45" with 9"...

Hi. I am Christiaan and matriculated at the end of 2015 and although I obtained a university pass I would like to make my living as a PH. At the beginning of 2016 I went to Namibia for a few months and helped on a hunting farm in the south. There I spent most of my time guiding hunters...
