Yep, I've never hunted with an African PH either but I did have a subscription to "Outdoor Life" back in the day. I learned a lot from looking at the pictures of PH's. Most of 'em were wearing shorts and carrying their rifles on their shoulders, holding 'em by the barrel, and following a skinny black guy around.

I tired that but it just didn't work for me. The only Alaskan guide I hunted with in bear country carried a pistol, no scope. But in the pictures I've seen they all wore Sitka Gear, so I did get some of that.
Dumbest post award goes to this one for sure. Congratulations ?
