Thanks Andrew. I think that is a very important point you bring up. I've seen the same thing here in the States with guys going out west for a wilderness Elk hunt. Many would be Elk hunters fail to communicate with their Guide that they are not in good physical shape, so after they experience their first horse ride, they encounter high altitude sickness, blisters on their feet and the inability to navigate rough terrain. Some are forced to stay in camp all week and they want to blame their Guide. Sometimes television makes hunting Dangerous Game look like a easy walk in the bush, but in reality it may take a week or more of ground pounding stalks to get onto a good Buff. Honest communication allows a PH to plan his clients forthcoming hunt, and to meet his physical ability and expectations. Excellent advice Andrew. If you think of any other points, please advise. Good hunting, grayghost
