Is the PH legally required to be in hide in South Africa?

Jaco totally agree with you, it would then just be easier to get South African hunter to do the job. In my view this is a professional service we render the client's and it needs to be done in a professional manner. I can understand that there will be clients wanting to hunt alone " as i like to spend time alone in the field", but unfortunately it is not going to happen in South Africa.

All clients must have a PH on his side!!

Best regards
 
Jaco,

Correct! Do you know in what kind of trouble that outfit is going to be in if something goes wrong. It's very true, the Goverment probably doesn't have the manpower to regulate it, but ask around what happened to Outfitters and PH's who had hunts done without licensed personel working for them - BIG SHIT....


LEAVING A CLIENT IN A BLIND ALONE.......... A big no no in my book, apart from it being ilegal it is just silly no matter what the experience level is, leagality seems to be a tecnichality these days....

Large outfitting companies use it as a mass hunt selling tool, 300 x 1 client, 225x 2 clients 175x 3 clients, 100 x 4 clients with one PH between them..... Silly and wrong...

Honestly why dont we just open our lodges, give our vehicles and let everyone do what they like.. :) and then we can say that we had 200 clients a season.....

My best always.

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.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris
