Thank you for the insightful conversation. It is always good to hear the things that some people are scared to talk about.

A very informative podcast that highlights the many factors that PH's and Outfitters have to deal with; to make sure the client who is paying large sums of money is satisfied with what he or she received.

[@DocHodson]

Very well said Carl; looking forward to being back in 2026 for the exact reasons and philosophy you give.

[@kihara4244]

Very informative, but I disagree that local hunters are growing. Maybe some valid reasons around pricing, but vast numbers of local hunters are being priced out of the market. Just referring to friends, most used to hunt 3-4 times per year - now it is maybe 1 hunt per year, or every 2nd year.

Incredible!!!!

[@phjournals]

Thanks bud appreciate it.

[@ediharnys7059]

Brilliant way of looking at it

[@3chunter307]

I am glad there are many good outfitters in east cape. Some have great pricing and good quality and some are very high cost with same quality and some maybe have great quality for high price. Do your homework folks. I am going to go to Africa as many times as I can and as soon as I can before pricing gets crazy. Shipping has already started to be borderline insane in my opinion.
I know many people that would not have hunted Africa if a kudu costs what an elk does on average. Thank goodness it doesn’t….yet.

[@alfredstoffels]

Thanks for the great interview.
Enjoyed listening to the chat and gave me some great insight in the industry.
I'm a videographer and found it hard to watch though.
Luckily I was listening to the video while I was editing videos.
Carl's lighting was good but your lighting was very bad and that gave the camera difficulty to focus.
A tip for the next interview type video, set the focus to manual if you don't have any one thats manning the camera.

[@phjournals]

Ye I agree I thought I had everything nailed but was focusing more on the audio rather than the video quality. We learn

[@jonathantimm7747]
