Roger and his entire staff are first class. Who will be your PH?? | |||
|
| One of Us |
Don't know who the local PH will be. We booked the hunt through our regular guys in SA who will be hunting with us. We fly into Joburg, then on to Vic Falls the next day. Pulled out the .404 last night just to caress it  | |||

The area is good, can't speak to Roger's involvement in that area, but I can say I was Roger's second client on Humani (now part of the conservancy) in 1979, hunted with him in Mozambique in 1989, and on the then-new Save Valley Conservancy in 1995. The Whittalls remain friends. They are dead solid, great people, and you will have a good hunt. Cheers, Craig | |||

Should have plenty of PH's, what with your "regular guys" and your Zim PH's. Never tried that but with all those pros plus trackers it should be quite a party. Let us know how it works out. ...I say that hunters go into Paradise when they die, and live in this world more joyfully than any other men. -Edward, duke of York ". . . when a man has shot an elephant his life is full." ~John Alfred Jordan "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero - 55 BC "The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities." - Ayn Rand Cogito ergo venor- KPete “It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages.” ― Adam Smith - “Wealth of Nations” | |||

Expensive also, since you have to pay observer fees for for the SA PHs if they are carrying rifles. | |||

VFR1, It appears that you have been around AR for quite some time, and have hunted quite a bit in various countries around the area, as a newby myself, without any direct knowledge of the Whittall's it would be hard to add too much to this. I do think there is information here on AR that you can find if you search for it, I recall these names coming up not too long ago. IMHO you should know who your PH will be, and then asking here about him/them. Having missed that usual step by booking it through your SA contacts that useful piece of info is missing. See this excellent MAP showing all the areas. Good Hunting! Les | |||

Sorry Chaps Have I missed somthing ?? Does Roger Whitall NOT run a good Show ?? Does he NOT have good Pro Hunters working for Him.?? who the hell cares who set the hunt up, its with a good reputable Zim company, or are you chaps just smelling blood because of the mention of a SA operater.

Simply asking who the booking agent is so I can contact them to see what quota is still available. I'm also from SA. Stop being so paranoid! | |||

The fact that a Zim hunt is being booked by a SA operator is enough to get some of these guys panties all in a wad. Look, He clearly states that he will be hunting with Roger Whittall, a good guy. He will be handled expertly and the hunt will be above board if Roger is running the show. This is not going to be an illegal park hunt by a fly by night SA outlaw. I hunted Humani with Roger early on (95-97) like Craig, and I found him to be warm, intelligent, generous and ethical. I have never heard a bad report on him or his outfit. He has so far been able to negotiate the minefield that is Zim politics with the skill and wisdom of Job.I expect anyone hunting with him in the forseeable future to have a great hunt. We seldom get to choose But I've seen them go both ways And I would rather go out in a blaze of glory Than to slowly rot away! | |||

Taken from a 09 November 2010 post by VFR1 that revived a 2006 hunt report by Marty:
Andrew McLaren Professional Hunter and Hunting Outfitter since 1974. http://www.mclarensafaris.com The home page to go to for custom planning of ethical and affordable hunting of plains game in South Africa! Enquire about any South African hunting directly from andrew@mclarensafaris.com After a few years of participation on forums, I have learned that: One can cure: Lack of knowledge – by instruction. Lack of skills – by practice. Lack of experience – by time doing it. One cannot cure: Stupidity – nothing helps! Anti hunting sentiments – nothing helps! Put-‘n-Take Outfitters – money rules! My very long ago ancestors needed and loved to eat meat. Today I still hunt! | |||
