Gordon, there's space for Female PH's hunting from luxury lodges in South Africa, where help is a phone call away. But I will have to agree with you, that in the remote areas, it's a different ball game. Last year myself and my Ph got caught in an ambush for over 20 minutes, we had gotten cut off from our military convoy, bullets flying all around us, thankfully Renamo/Frelimo have now made peace. Besides the ambush, I feel 10 times safer in Mozambique than I do on any day than being in Johannesburg.
Mechanics, males just grow up knowing vehicle stuff, keeping your vehicles up to scratch in remote areas takes experience and knowledge, would a women be able to change a landcruiser flat tire...I doubt it. yes
Can a women handle a chainsaw?yes,my daughter can even drop start the 66 magnum ( one day I will show her the decompression button )
Can a women stripe a rifle down?yes, and they are uaually smart enough to put it back together aswell.....
Can a women handle recoil on large calibers?yes, if she cant she wouldn't pull the trigger , just like us boys
Does she have the strength to remove big logs out the road( this we do daily on our roads).if theres a chainsaw, and a winch on the cruiser,yes, why bust her ass, we would use all means to make that task easier , if there aint a winch im sure a girl can tie a chain/rope around it after its cut ,with the chainsaw, and snigg it of the track
if she can use the rest of your team , the same way the blokes can ...yes
if is proficient I n the use of all the tools us boys can ......yes
if there is daily ambushes and warfare,gangs of BAMFs hiding behind every bush, her and all your clients will be sitting on the airplane out of there with all the boy ,P.Hs
There will be exceptions to the rules, but generally its a mans job.there is always exception,to the rules
if trained properly , and a girl knows what she needs to ,to get on with her calling
Doing the hunt is the easy part of being a PH, its all the hard work behind the scenes that count just as much.
