I feel like I've just given birth to my first born!

My thanks to the mods for permission to post the news.

Congratulations - hope you have great success with it.

Thanks. It'll never be anywhere near a best seller because it's a niche market but I hope it'll be of help to all those aspiring young and not so young PHs out there. :)

And of course, to any hunter who just wants to know more about how things work in a hunting camp/area/company and how the PH manages to make it all work for him, often under difficult circumstances.

Well done

You've got a buyer right here! :)

Congratulations on your publication, and I wish you all the best with it.

Congratulations!
Would it be possible to get an autographed book? My brother in law is in Nelspruit. It would make a great present for my son, who is quite keen to combine a PH course with his studies in Ecology Management.

If he doesn't mind waiting for some to arrive with me, I'll be more than happy to do it that way.... alternatively, if you're in a hurry, you could order one and also email me at shakari3@mweb.co.za with your postal address and I'll write something appropriate on a piece of suitable paper, mail it down to you and you can then paste it in.

Just let me know what you'd prefer.

If you order it online and have it delivered to a large town address, it should get to you within about 10 days but the problem with the Lowveld here is that it takes a week to get to Jo'burg and then a month to Nelspruit and another month from Nelspruit to White River....... With the exception of one guy, the post office here is as much use as a one legged man at an arse kicking party.

No rush, his birthday is in December.
I will keep in touch via PM regarding availability.
Thanks!

OK buddy.
