You made a great point, pete.
I have always been a blue collar paper pusher and small farm farmer, and I was raised hunting...shot quail on the wing starting at 7. I was determined to hunt Africa all my life and just went and did it on a brand new credit card back in 2000. Like almost everyone who had gone there, I was planning my next safari as I got on the plane home.
Through guile and some good friends I made in Africa and at shows, I booked a few hunts for PHs and got back that way. I saw exactly what you surmised. Thanks to excellent PHs these new hunters had life changing experiences and remained safe.
