Guav Johnson, a legend among the top tier professional hunters in Africa, joins the podcast. Everything about him speaks to his quiet, unassuming nature, from his long hair, cutoff sleeves, the ten-year-old boonie hat that offers zero sun protection. And he loves wildlife, especially the wildlife of his home in Zimbabwe.
