Who wants to attend a Professional Hunter course?

@Bos en Dal SAFARIS will be hosting a PH Course at its lodge/property from Sept 18-27th (10 days), 2025.

The course will be presented by Game Hunters/Gerhard Steenkamp https://www.huntingschool.co.za/private-schools.html

$1850 per person for an all inclusive course (housing/accomidation = 2x people per room rather than a typical "bunkhouse" arrangement that is common at most PH courses.. all meals (simpler fare than your typical meals on a safari, but plenty of it, and intentionally a bit "nicer" than what you'd experience at most PH courses), non alcoholic drinks (you can bring your own beer/booze if you'd like to have some by the fire at night), pick up and drop off at the airport, all training materials, all training, etc..etc.. )...

Certificates presented at the end of the course..

This course is set aside for AH members only, and is limited to 8x slots. 3 are already spoken for (myself, wife, and @roverandbrew ).

If youre not an SA citizen or living/working in SA currently you wouldnt be able to sit for the licensing exam, but the course material and training will be identical to what PH's experience, with a couple of minor twists (that I think are pretty awesome)..

Twist #1 - More focus on the "fun" skills like flora and fauna identification, trophy identification, hunt skills, shooting, etc.. and a little less focus on the legal issues (you'll still be trained on the laws.. but since you wont be sitting for the licensing exam, we'll spend more time on the practical exercises and less on the legal issues)..

Twist #2 - At the end of the course, there each new "PH" will guide another new PH on a hunt (hunt included in the price) for either an impala or a blesbok...

If you want to hunt something other than an impala or a blesbok, you are welcome to do so.. just pay the associated trophy fee for that animal..

If you want to come to camp early or stay a few days after the course and do some hunting, you are welcome to do so.. normal rates apply..

A $500 deposit is all that is needed to secure a spot.. as stated above there are only 5 spots left available.. first come is first served.. if interested, shoot me a PM and let me know you want a slot.. we'll need to secure with a deposit within a week or so, or we'll need to move on to the next person in line (I suspect the course will fill quickly.. Ive mentioned this idea to several people on AH previously who have all expressed interest, and this has been getting worked on for several months.. I think we're going to have much more interest than we're going to be able to have seats at the table... $1850 for 10x days in camp with a bunch of good people, some fun training, and a nice little hunt at the end is a pretty incredible value IMO)..
This PH course sounds like the real deal—solid training, great setup, and a hunt to wrap it all up. For anyone documenting the trip or needing help putting together a professional write-up for licensing prep, blog posts, or even a feature article, a writing service https://bestessayserviceonline.com/ can be a lifesaver. Especially if you're looking to share your PH journey in style.
Hope to spend some time with a few of you guys in South Africa in Sept of 2025!

Sounds epic! Gonna check my dates and maybe see you round that fire with a cold one!
