Show Notes

In this solo episode of PH Journals, we dive deep into one of the most debated topics in the hunting world — the ethical line between high-fence and free-range hunting in South Africa.


With growing pressure from international clients, social media, and conservation purists, South African professional hunters often find themselves defending the integrity of their hunts — but is the presence of a fence really what defines an ethical hunt?


🎯 In this episode, I cover:


The true definitions of “free-range” and “high-fence” hunting


Why both exist — and thrive — in South Africa


The misconceptions and stigma around high-fence hunting


How client expectations are shaped by international media


Why the ethics of a hunt go far beyond the presence of a fence


Whether you're a first-time safari hunter, a seasoned PH, or someone passionate about conservation, this episode challenges you to think critically about how we define a “fair chase” and what it really means to hunt ethically in today’s world.
