In this episode of the Rigby Campfire Podcast, Marc Newton, managing director of John Rigby & Co., sits down with Dr. Kevin 'Doctari' Robertson, a distinguished authority in African wildlife management. With over four decades of expertise blending veterinary science and conservation, Dr. Robertson shares the genesis of his seminal work, "The Perfect Shot," and the journey to its second edition.
Delving into the Rigby Dagga Boy Award, of which Dr. Robertson serves as a judge, they explore its vital role in conservation, through hunting post-breeding age buffalo and its significance in advancing scientific understanding across Africa.
From the compilation of hunter narratives in the Rigby Dagga Boy Book vol.1 to Dr. Robertson's profound connection with buffalo and the complexities of hunting as a veterinarian, this episode offers a rich dialogue on conservation, hunting ethics, and the transformative power of initiatives like the Dagga Boy Award in reshaping perceptions within the hunting community.
