I was surprised to read the following quote from Ben Carter w/ DSC, perhaps the LCTF or it's charter members would enlighten us with a response?

quote:
“The International Council for Game and Wildlife Conservation is joining us in encouraging lion hunters from around the world to be more selective. We’re gratified that the concepts within our policy have become a standard for conservationists worldwide,” said DSC Executive Director Ben Carter. “Hunting only non-pride and non-adolescent male lions should be the goal of every hunter and every organization with a vested interest in conserving lion populations.”

Brad,
Here is what I can tell you. Read the definition...it is the way forward. It was agreed upon by the vast majority of lion experts in the world.

The other thing I can tell you is that DSC had no official statement on the lion until LCTF had a meeting with them at DSC Convention this last year. They basically adopted the LCTF's definition.

The definition does NOT state the quote above.

The research shows age is the most important factor.

I do believe that a non-pride 6 or > male should be "the goal"...that makes perfect sense.
