Last week the Limpopo Hunters Liaison Forum had our Annual Grand Meeting (AGM)

A big part of this meeting is our provincial government giving us feedback on what is happening in the province on their front, and a question & answer session between "us" and "them".

It is a real "ROAST" for some guys, but the info is priceless and I am very happy to be associated with this organization.

Some news:

1. There were NO DCA (damage causing Animal) Leopard permits issue in Limpopo in 2017. The status quo was also maintained as far as the status of DCA animals goes. They may not be sold to foreign hunters and no export permit will be issued for them. There were SOME exceptions this year on Hippo and Elephants where the individual applications warranted export.

2. LEDET did apply for 50 Leopard CITES tags to the central government, and we are still awaiting the answer from the Department of Environmental Affairs.

3. The small cat and Hyena hunting system for 2018 will be the same as 2017, with only two tags per species per outfitter, and only 1 animal per specie per property. The species protected by this new quota system in Limpopo are Serval, Civet, Caracal,African Wild Cat, Bat eared fox, Aardwolf, Honey Badger, Brown Hyena and Spotted Hyena.

I am sharing this information as there was some bullshit again with a hunting outfitter offering a DCA Leopard for sale to an American client this past season in Limpopo.

I trust this info will give you a bit more knowledge as we head into marketing season!

Good hunting!

Thanks for the update Charl - especially for us who couldn't attend the meeting.

You guys are doing good work there. Keep it up!
