I am not a trophy hunter – I never have been. In more than fifty years of hunting I have never had one creature I shot mounted, nor have I kept any part of it for display. I have nothing against trophy hunting; in fact, I spent many years making a living taking out clients from all over the world to hunt the animals of their dreams. I even admit to feeling a certain glow of pride when an ecstatic client pumped my hands with joy after bagging a trophy animal we had spent hours, sometimes days, pursuing. But me, I am just a meat hunter – a fella who loves being out in the bush with the intention of obtaining a fresh supply of venison while enjoying the work of the greatest artist on earth – nature.
Oftentimes I am outwitted by the wild creature
