I returned from South Africa about 3 weeks ago & hunted a number of concessions with my PH & trackers. On more than one occasion the truck(s) raced to get ahead of game being pushed by trackers & either myself or another hunter would hop out & stalk toward on coming game. Rifles were loaded so a quick shot could be had on the way to the next drop off point. I felt very uncomfortable with safety & expressed my concerns to the PH, who is a personal friend. I have hunted with him before & this tactic was not used. I shot my animals in a traditional manner mostly with an assistant PH. I always stalk with my rifle at the ready with out a round in the chamber. I have never had a problem chambering a round as the shooting sticks are set up.
