Hello AH, as I mentioned last time, still got alot of issues i believe this family can help inform me

Personally I'm looking forward to one day achieve a professional hunting career, I seek to obtain some enlightenment from most of you international counterparts as possible.
For a startuper like me cause I'm not yet established in the market and got no formal experience, though I've been working hard to explore the industry and almost everything corresponding to this passion I realised I had 5-6 years ago.
How much does it really take to make it to the international market, what does really the market need and expect from me&others like me to reward a successful career?

(I'll be pleased to hear from each and everyone of you AHchers).
 
What have you hunted thus far in your life?
 
I would find and talk with as many presently working PHs in your desired country to get a feel for the path to working in the profession. They will also have more insight into the market and how it's changing. Good Luck!
 
What have you hunted thus far in your life?
Nope, not really. But I've taken Ballistics course and practicals plus I also have a certified national service experience, briefly I have little(relatively) sufficient knowledge and a massive interest in firearms and ammunitions.

So I'm currently working on connecting my academic profession with this interest I've developed over years. I know it's a hell of a work but struggles defines and maketh life purposeful.

Thanks all of you guys for your insights!
 
I do not say this rudely, but saying that you want become a professional hunter, is like saying I want to become a Dr. or Lawyer. You must answer where.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
