WARNING
PAC Lion hunts offered in Gwaai and Matetsi areas, of Zimbabwe.

It has come to our attention that some people may possibly have booked hunts for PAC lions in the Gwaai/Matetsi areas of Matabeleland North, Zimbabwe.

After discussion with National Parks it is our understanding that these hunts are bogus. The only licences issued for lion hunts in the Matabeleland North areas are for Trophy Lion Hunts.

Anyone who has booked and/or paid for a PAC Lion hunt, please ask your booking agent for a copy of the PAC Permit and Authority to Hunt a PAC Lion, and please advise SOAZ on e-mail soaz@mweb.co.zw.

Yours sincerely

It has come to light that there is an operator going around selling PAC lions in the Gwayi/Matetsi area in Zimbabwe for around $26,000. It is now come to light from a reliable source that has approached national parks department about this that these hunts have not been issued or permitted by National Parks, which means that there are NO PAC lions available in the Gwayi. Anyone who has booked or paid for one of these hunts, please contact SOAZ at soaz@mweb.co.zw. Please use the reference, PAC LIONS.

Probably because of your corny title!!! (I figured it was another post about "classy" women in fur coats cruising the show!)

But yes - you did finger Wayne Jardine.

The mentioned areas are favorites of OoA to plunder.

Yes I missed the earleir post-who was the other PH? Waynes usual companion was denied a Visa, as Wayne was two years ago.
