Dom,
Great post. I'm glag you mentioned the German hunting tradition of paying respect to the animal taken and and of the guide saying waidmannsheil ! and the hunter replying waidmannsdank !
On my first three Namibian hunts my PH was very German. We employed their hunting ceremony after every trophy was taken. It adds a lot to the hunt.
Everybody that wants to hunt Africa can. What you paid is a perfect example of the bargain that most plains game hunts are in Namibia or the RSA.
John
