I have seen no evidence of anything to the contrary. If the male was 6 or older and he did not head a pride with dependent cubs...he is an eligible shooter. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

I will add one more thing. Craig is making a big to do about pride males and I think that is a good thing. I think the Huntable Male Lion Definition should be adhered to as well. And in general...the taking of a pride male is 'likely' higher impact than a 6 or > transient...which is basically NON-impact. However...AGE is still the most important factor. The research models have shown that if you took any or most of the 6 and greaters...you would NOT have impact on the population dynamics. Hence the law in TZ...says nothing about pride males. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J. Lane Easter, DVM A born Texan has instilled in his system a mind-set of no retreat or no surrender.

How can you say that this male "did not head a pride with dependant cubs"? What was presented to us was the statement that they had 2 nights of bait cam pics of a pride of lions with no cubs in them? No one, with that information alone, could make that statement. How can you disagree with that? | |||

I believe they had more data than that...see other thread. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.
