Ep 001: Fred Hammer ↣ South African Guide & Outfitter
In this episode Robin catches up with Fred Hammer — a bow-hunter & guide from South Africa.
Fred shares his story: Growing up in South Africa, shooting birds near the flight zone of Johannesburg's largest airport, being sent to school to teach manners, shooting giant warthogs, learning hard lessons from the local wildlife, making the most successful bow-hunter in Africa his mentor, and why Fred finds particular pleasure in walk-and-stalk bow-hunting through the thickets of the Eastern Cape.
You can follow Fred on Instagram through Bowhunting Africa and his personal account.
