Testamonial

Hello Jacques
Please feel free to use the below testimonial.

To who it may concern:
I hunted in South Africa in June of 2007. During my time there Jacques Swart served as my Professional Hunter. During this week plus excursion I came to understand the importance of having the right person to guide you on your hunt.

The most important aspect of the PH is their ability to bond and form a relationship with the hunter. This starts with getting to know each other. Jacques understands that serving his client is enhanced by knowing such things as their hunting experience, style in the field and even their demeanor and personality. Jacques asks questions so as to understand how you feel about your time in the field and whether he needs to make changes in how he is planning your experience

Jacques displays many skills during the hunt. They include tracking and following targeted animals. He picks out the "trophy" animal in the pack; while helping you decide when to take the shot. Jacques also knows when to give you space to make your "hunting" decisions.

Besides in the field activities Jacques can create a video memory of your hunt by taping or taking still pictures. Being a competent photographer is one of many competent skills along with cooking as he cooked for us in the field as well as at our camp.

Having a guide who was experienced and could speak to past situations was informative as well as entertaining. I would recommend him to anyone planning a hunt
