Does anyone know where I can find a map of Cameroon showing the chasse libre hunting blocks? I know someone who is working there, who wants to make a plan for a self-hunt safari.

You'll still need to arrange for the permits and licenses, porters and trackers so you can hunt, and export of the trophies. Probably a hundred other things. Have you planned this thing out? I suppose, for instance, if your friend has a suitable vehicle you can get by without porters. But that also means you'll be stuck with hunting in the same area the loggers have shot out. So while you don't have to worry about feeding a bunch of guys, you'll also not have to worry about shooting anything. | |||

China, This guy is very knowledgeable and has hunted many third world countries because of his job with the oil companies. He has already been in touch with Cam Greig and some other people who facilitate chasse libre hunts. I didn't get into the details with him about hiring porters/trackers, permits/licenses, and export but I am sure he realizes that he is going to have to do all that. All one has to do is read one of Cam's stories and it will give you an education about the logistics involved. Cam told me that chasse libre is allowed in any area that is not already rented by a safari company. I found one map showing the hunting areas, but could use a better one if anyone knows a source.

So the answer would be, yes, you've planned this thing out. I'll shut up now. | |||

 Well, I haven't planned shit. But I hope he has!I only WISH I was in his situation, other than the oil well part that is. It would be great to in Cameroon and have this as your pet project. In retrospect, "great" might not be the word to apply to Yaounde. However, you are welcome to keep making any comments you think would help. I will certainly forward them on.

Talking with Cam Greig is what I was gonna suggest and since he has already done so I don't think there is much else he can do. Cam, who I've known personally for 15 years, is THE expert on the topic. Might be worth his while to pay Cam to set-up the hunt for him as Cam has the pygmy's, drop off and all else already worked out.

One of the things working with the Seabees sort of hammered home was when planning an invasion was to start working out the number of latrines you were going to need, then work backward from that. Obviously that particular formula doesn't apply to every situation, but I am forced to at least consider the nuts and bolts of any operation. | |||

@China: Like Omar Bradley famously re-quoted, "Amateurs study tactics; professionals study logistics".  @LionHunter: I told him that right off the bat, but he had already talked to Cam. He's got the idea he can sort it out himself, because he has done some sheep hunts somewhere in the "Stans", without any outside support. He wants to do it on the cheap, but I'm thinking it is going to cost him more money in the long run, however by the time he figures that out... it will be a moot point.

I don't know about being a professional, but I should be thick with latrines. I should have more latrines than I ever dared to dream of. | |||

Alan, I think you are correct. There's one hell of a difference between the mountains of the 'stans and the jungles of Cameroon. I've talked to many who have done Cam's self-guided hunts and it is no picnic. Lots of problems with the pygmys - being fluent in French helps but is not a solution - and the jungle. Going in circles is not unheard of and GPS doesn't work in triple canopy jungle. Best to be very competent with a compass. Food will be poor at best and he will be wet a majority of the time. I was in jungle like that when I was 19 years old and didn't like it then. I'm 63 now and have not been in one since.
