Well, my experience is they needed to do something.

Look at the difference in game numbers in the open areas and the GCA's.

Heard a lot of PH's complain of the "unlimited" number of buff off of one license by not marking it off the license unless actually being checked by the scouts...

Hope they can find a way to fix it for the local guys who do it the right way... And get rid of the semi legal poachers.

Doesn't work that way - don't you know that the good guys pay the price of others' misdeeds?

Do you get the idea that this is effective:

1. Immediately

2. EOY 2015

3. July 1, 2016

4. Won't happen

Thanks

From what I have understood in the publicized announcement, it is with immediate effect and while there are still 2 full months of the season remaining, it can be brought to a premature end by not issuing any further quota to the residents.

Safaris Botswana Bound

The Ban in Botswana started with limiting and then banning citizens from hunting , this ban grew to include Lion then leopard then sable then everything - think about it , for the citizens they see only "wealthy non citizens" coming and enjoying their national resource for fun while they are excluded from surviving from the resource - this is not a liberal view -its what reality is and we are the walking wounded from this same start.

I'm told that resident hunting will continue until end of this season 31st Dec 2015. Then 2 year moratorium starts. Let's see....

Mich,
Can you give us any insight into the politics of this action?

Any hunting ban anywhere bodes poorly for the future in my opinion.

True but they sometimes conveniently forget about the Wildlife Conservation Act which is not just limited to the "wealthy foreign hunters" but to everyone and anyone engaged in hunting.

For the most it is not "exclusion or denial from surviving from their natural resource" as much as it has become a primary source of financial gain from the sale of the meat to clandestine butcheries.

In TZ the sale of game meat is a criminal offense - period!
