Is 2006 the final year for these? Where do you expect prices to go next year if that is the case? I would think that female hunts may get cheap by the end of the year. ****************************************************************** R.

Roscoe Various press releases, along with the usual rumors and comments from people involved in the industry, have indicated that Lion hunting will probably be closed completely by June of 2006. This is said to include both the hunting of wild lion, as well as the shooting of canned or pen-raised lion. While no specific date has been set, June is said to be the month. It is said that between 200 & 350 lions are "killed" each year in South Africa. Botswana's quota was severely reduced in 2005, and prices went as high as $130 000. When there are suddenly 200 -350 less lions availible to the market as a whole, a black rhino at $135 000, may start looking very cheap. If you would like copies of the various press releases, send me a quick e-mail. Brad Brad Rolston African Hunting P.O.

It's a real shame for those of us who have hunted free ranging lion in South Africa. We now realize that with the end of even the free ranging lion hunts that those hunters who would like to shoot a very good lion at a very reasonable price will no longer be able to do so. Looks like there is some time left, but not much. Glad now that I shot mine in June of this year with Brad. Mine was free ranging out of Kruger and onto a reserve bordering Kruger where the fences are down to allow movement of Kruger's animals back and forth, including lion, cape buffalo, rhino, elephant, etc. My free ranging lion ended up being #5 SCI all time with a 27" skull measurement. | |||

I agree...it is not good to see any type of restrictions on hunting. Wonder where things will go from here? ****************************************************************** R.

Roscoe Probably way over $100 000, and way out of reach of the average hunter. Brad Brad Rolston African Hunting P.O. Box 506 Stella 8650 Kalahari South Africa Tel : + 27 82 574 9928 Fax : + 27 86 672 6854 E-Mail : rolston585ae@iafrica.com | |||
