 During a recent safari in Tanzania we came across a suspected poacher while we were hunting buffalo. We cautiously approached the subject and detained him. After further discussion, he revealed several items in his pack that most would agree are rather problematic.   While we often read about poachers I thought some of you might appreciate seeing the items that we seized. We transported the suspected poacher to the authorities without incident. Later during the same hunt we came upon the tracks of three additional people that were likely involved in commercial poaching activity. We located their camp and found their fires still warm. We provided the GPS coordinates to the authorities.   Whenever I come across the remains of a commercial poacher’s work it is a very sad moment for me. I am proud to say that as hunters we stand united against commercial poachers and their direct attack against our values as hunters and conservationists. Shawn Joyce Diizche Safari Adventures P.O.

Sad to read about this. While a lot of this article is against hunting, it covers a very interesting aspect of the commercial poaching element - the Asian connection: http://www.vanityfair.com/cult...nts-201108#gotopage1 Dave | |||

Interesting link A7Dave, I too found the commercial poaching component interesting. I do not recall ever before reading about Al-Shabaab, the Islamist youth militia, poaching elephants.

One of the saddest and most disgusting things we have ever seen in the bush was poacher's work just outside the Selous Game Reserve in Tanzania. It was the dessicated carcass of a magnificent, 6-8 year old, full maned lion lying dead in a heavy, steel cable snare. Of course, we also saw Tanzanian game scouts with poached hartebeest and buffalo in the same area. Foxes guarding the hen house. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

Unfortunately this seems to be a common theme in Africa. "...Africa. I love it, and there is no reason for me to explore why. She affects some people that way, and those who feel as I do need no explanation." from The Last Safari | |||
