Kevin Robertson is back on the show again today and gives us a glimpse behind the curtain when it comes to how to become a Professional Hunter (PH) in Zimbabwe, what the training is like to get that certification, and a look at the practical and business side of being a professional hunter and an outfitter in Africa.
