PH Journals Podcast

This weeks episode, we discuss the term old Africa and discuss the benefits between "old & new" Africa. It was a topic bought to me from a few social media platforms and was a great topic to discuss.

After watching a video on Facebook about the importance of social media in our industry as-well as how easy our passion and love can be misinterpreted. The hunting industry has been played by chance takers and people that have no respect for there fellow hunters.

Making sure you do things ethically to protect our industry is of the extreme importance. I discuss some of the tips and tricks i have used to build my personal brand up through raw and genuine content.

In this weeks episode i thought it would be a good idea to touch base on where we stand as fare as covid19 is concerned and some of the tips i have on travel arrangements. Keep in mind this is based on opinion and not fact. This is a time to not postpone and come out and enjoy Africa like never before.

We kick off our 2021 season with one unforgettable hunt. I have been a PH for 12 years now and i know a hunt of this magnitude comes around only once every now and then.

I am joined by a very close friend of mine and this would of been our 4th Trip we have been on. We walk through some of the struggles he endured getting here and some unforgettable moments we shared.

 

Welcome back Patrick Dugan. "Lets go for a drive"

This weeks discussion touches on a group chat i was involved in which got me a little worked up. People like to paint our industry with the same brush over a few bad apples or bad experiences when they didn't do the correct home work.

We also announce the winner of the Merrell Boots give away and have some exciting competitions for 2021. 

Finally we say cheers to 2020 and hello 2021.

Second last pod cast for the year. In this episode i find myself looking back on shot placements that have taught me a-lot about how I approach a stalk and manage my hunt. We also have the awesome opportunity to give away a pair of Merrell hunting boots. the festive season is upon us and we cant wait for the 2021 season to kick off.

From humble beginnings in the pineapple fields to varmint control now as a teenager, Colin Fletcher has developed himself as a well respected hunter in the Port Alfred area. Colin currently schools at Kingswood College in Grahamstown in the Eastern Cape and does as much hunting as possible in the holidays and long weekends. Been the youngest member of the PH Toolbox pro staff team and hoping his good ethical habits will be passed down for generations to come.

 

 

This weeks episode i sat down with Bossie. He is a freelance PH out of Port Alfred in the Eastern Cape, he is also a member of the PH Toolbox Pro Staff team. He is extremely enthusiastic about the industry and passionate about the outdoors.

Bossie not only brings experience to the team but he adds a curtain character to the dynamics. We had a great chat about sections in the industry where us as PH's need to step up and make sure the policies of the past are not forgotten.

Have a great week.

This week's episode, back by popular demand, we discuss rifle choice and my opinion and the experiences I have had in the veld. Condolences to all the farmers who have lost loved ones and lost livestock and land from the devastating Free State fires.
