It seems that many deem a "serious" hunter to be one who travels the world killing all kinds of game.
That can often not mean much, except they just have the luxury of more time and money than most. Being driven around in a toyota
with game scouts and other staff who make life easy by doing forward tracking/footwork for you ,carry your pack, do your caping,
carry your trophy etc, ...a PH who will clean up any inept clients shooting mess , camp workers prepping meals, washing your clothes,
changing your sheets, cold beer waiting in the fridge on return, etc ..none of that automatically make one a serious learned hunter.
But all that doesn't stop relatively spoilt recreational shooters venturing to Africa from thinking they are something special.

that is what I consider
frivolous.Id rather just see the simple joy on a child's face rabbit hunting that listen to cashed up flogs bragging about their exotic trips
to Africa and Mongolia and their SCI trophy ranking.
