The Ethiopian Wildlife Conservation Authority has just contacted all members of the Ethiopian Professional Hunter’s Association regarding some problem lions in the area around Bonga, Ethiopia. This is an area SW of Jimma. Several hundred head of cattle have been killed in the past months. A hunt needs to be urgently scheduled to try and resolve this problem in the next 30 days. Current information states that there are numerous lions involved, both male and female so the chances of having to shoot multiple animals of either sex is likely. A hunter will be required to purchase a minimum of one lion License ($4,000) prior to the hunt and will subsequently be allowed to export one of the culled lions. Which lion is exported will be the hunters’ choice. Additional lions can be exported with the additional purchase of more licenses.


Nice to see a Game Department using sport hunting as a conservation/control tool for a change.

Quite an opportunity..
Who with and for how much?

Found it. http://forums.accuratereloadin...2100588/m/4781078351

An incredibly rare opportunity.

Absolutely.

I may be wrong but I think the same thing happened last year. I seem to recall a show on TV where they were hunting the problem cats.

If I wasn't so damn busy, I would go tomorrow. I have never been to Ethiopia but would like to.

Can Mtn Nyala be added....for a reasonable fee....

Nope. It's a special problem lion hunt in an area not normally opne to hunting. It sold 2 hours after I got it.
