To hunt dangerous game in Africa is one of the summits of
international big-game hunting. There are plenty of naturally occurring and self-imposed
risks involved. A hunter must accept that these hazards are simply part of the
process of hunting dangerous game under fair-chase conditions. The veteran
big-game hunter understands what they are up against while on the edge of
danger.
There
has not been a season in Africa in the last ten years during which there were
no hunter fatalities or serious injury. At least one person, and sometimes more,
during this period got killed while hunting dangerous game, and several more
were seriously wounded. The basic fact is that death is a possibility for the
hunter and his team.
