Ph Journals Podcast

https://phjournalsa.podbean.com/
PH Journals Podcast is a South African hunting and conservation show hosted by professional hunter Dylan Love. Love has worked as a professional hunter since 2009. Built around first-hand field experience, the program examines how regulated safari hunting intersects with wildlife management, rural economies, and ethics. Episodes mix solo dispatches and guest conversations with outfitters and industry figures, moving from practical preparation to policy and debates. Recent topics include the ethics of free‑range versus high‑fence hunting (July 10, 2025), trophy hunting’s evolution over the last decade (July 4, 2025), Botswana’s elephant overpopulation challenges (June 19, 2023), and an interview with John X Safaris’ Carl Van Zyl (June 21, 2024). The tone blends campfire storytelling with candid analysis of gear, travel logistics, taxidermy and import rules, and what first‑time clients should know before a safari. With more than 150 episodes and over 38,000 downloads across major platforms, the show serves an international audience of hunters, outfitters, and conservation‑minded listeners who want detail from someone who guides in the bush for a living. Apple Podcasts listeners rate it 4.8/5. The podcast’s stated aim is to explain the conservation role of professional hunting and to build understanding among hunters, landowners and non‑hunters alike through frank, experience‑driven conversations. Regular features cover kit reviews tailored to African terrain, safety and tracking, fair‑chase principles, and the realities of permits and airlines—detail that helps traveling sportsmen plan responsibly and supports transparent discussion of a contested industry.
