Opening that crate full of your African trophies is like Christmas for hunters. A flood of memories of good times and happiness comes rushing in. But that could all be blown away instantly when you find your trophies bald, patchy, peeling, and cracked because they were not handled correctly after you hunted them.
Whose fault is it? Who is going to repay you for the trophies? Why are they like this? Unfortunately, these are the questions you never get the answers to.
In today's episode, I will give you a few tips and pieces of advice to ensure you never have to experience this type of heartache over your cherished trophies.
Remember to Rate & Review.... do it, or else your hunting buddies will never stop teasing you about having a 6.5 Creedmore.

It's not rocket science figuring out what most African hunting outfitters have on offer, you simply go on their website, maybe visit their social media pages, or even visit them at the shows and have a look at the hunting packages they have on offer. Simple.
You pick a package that has the animals you want to hunt, the number of days and a price that works within your budget, again simple! But don't start sending deposits just yet, because I have a few things to say about how to read a hunting package and ensure it's the best choice for you.
Enjoy the episode and if you did, then leave a review.

One of South Africa's biggest draw cards is its diversity in landscape, vegetation, and especially game species. What is interesting about each species is its adaptability to its surroundings, especially the areas where it naturally occurs.
By hunting animals in their natural environments, makes the hunt even more exciting and challenging.
Today's episode I go over which animals you should be focusing on and in which areas of South Africa they should be hunted.

I promised a few new features to the podcast for 2025, and here is the first one: an Africa Hunting Quiz to test the mental skills of the Round The Fire listeners.
Here is how it's going to work:
- Each week, 10 questions will be released (most likely on a Friday)
- Respond via email with your answers to the 10 questions
- There will be 10 rounds of questions, so 100 questions in total for the year
- At the end of the year, the listener with the most correct answers, Wins A Prize! (It's not a free Safari, so chill)
Send your answers to the following e-mail: Jonomchugh@gmail.com
Good luck!

Always a hot topic. Labor Unions, you're either a supporter or do everything you can to avoid them.
Currently, there are no registered Unions in South Africa that directly represent Professional Hunters. Should there be? And will they be beneficial to PHs and the industry? Or will they simply cause division amongst Outfitters and those they rely on to guide their clients.
In today's topic, I try to answer those questions. Enjoy!

Firstly, I apologize for the poor audio quality on my side. It seems I forgot to change some settings, but hey, this is what you get from a PH trying to be a Podcaster.
Last year, John Richardson emailed me for a hunting outfitter recommendation. I passed him on to my good friend in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. A few months later, John, along with his brother-in-law, was on a plane heading to South Africa.
I invited John onto the podcast to share his experience and now you get to hear it too. I hope you enjoy!

There is a dilemma facing the general hunting industry in South Africa. The first is the large number of young, experienced PHs being churned out by schools, and the industry is not able to accommodate them. The second is the dwindling farms and properties available to the everyday South African citizen hunter who is simply looking to fill their freezer for the year.
Well, I may have a solution to these two issues....and maybe others.
Enjoy the episode and remember to Rate & Review.
