More Lions

Guys, I just saw a post on Face Book from an outfitter / PH named Johan Du Preez stating that "Looks like lion imports into the US will no longer be allowed from 2014 on. A sad day".

I don't know this guy at all but his statement caught my attention. Has something happened on the uplisting issue or is this simply a false advertising ploy the guy is using to drum up business?

Through FB, I questioned him on this matter but as of yet, have not received a response. I suspect it is the latter!

Use Enough Gun

That's right. Nothing has happened yet. I was told to look to sometime in October for a ruling from the USFWS on the issue. I have a lion hunt currently scheduled next June in the Bubye, but will hunt Buffalo as the alternative if things with the USFWS don't go as hoped.
