CITES allowing ivory sales effect on sport hunting

Kathi's post on Botswana planning to lobby CITES for ivory sales got me thinking. What will be the impact to us as hunters if controlled ivory sales were allowed to most counties with excess eles?

Do you think that the proposed sales would be too little to put economic pressures on existing ele populations? At what point would it drive trophy fees higher?

I realize that most countries that allow ele hunting have more than a excess of jumbos and it would take a lot of ivory sales to have an effect. Just wondered about what the general effect would be and at what point it would affect the economics of sport hunting.

I don't think it'll have any effect at all because the application will for for Government held ivory to be sold off in job lots, not sport hunted ivory owned by individuals, which is allowed to be transported across international borders but not traded.
