I am planning a trip to Zambia this year. Does any one know which calibres are legal to bring into the country?

Hej Jens Einar,

Med venlig hilsen
en ex-spartaner

ps. har intet med tidligere meriter at g�re, men blot til din information, dette er ment som konstruktiv information!

Hej Jan
Tak for informationen. Jeg har nu kendt den i nogen tid og har selvf�lgelig unders�gt p�standene. Det er pure opspind, skabt af frusterede tidligere ejere af omr�derne. Alle de trof�er vore medlemmer har nedlagt i omr�det er blevet nedlagt lovligt og er med fuld godkendelse af myndighederne i Zimbabwe eksporteret ud af landet.
De politiske uenigheder holder vi os uden for. Det skal dog n�vnes at samarbejdet med de nye indf�dte ejere af Woodland koncessionen er blevet et m�nstereksempel p�, hvordan man i dag i Zimbabwe p� fornem vis kan forvalte en vildtbestand.

Venlig hilsen

Jens Einar,

It might be interesting to the others on AR if you translated this to English...

You mention that "the new indiginous owners of the Woodland concession in Zimbabwe are role models in correct wildlife utilization." Could you please explain?

This may or may not be relavent, I therefore ONLY print it just out of interest about some aspects of illegal hunting in late 2003 in that regional area.

Peter ..

Zimbabwean operator
Company:- Inyati Safaris

Enio di Palma - owner

Jacob Mudenda � consultant/associate

This company has been seen hunting on Woodlands Estate �B�

They are also logging teak in the Fuller Forest.

They sub-let hunts to De Marillac Safaris.

They are based out of Jafuta Camp owned by Forestry Commission.

The animals are skinned at Mubiya Camp (Forestry) so that National Parks will not know where they are being killed.

Inyati Safaris have been caught poaching a kudu and a buffalo in Guzu Safaris area which is a photographic area. The kudu was shot at a waterhole from a vehicle.

(There is also a dispute ongoing about an elephant bull.)

Quota irregularities
France Hobart was reported as hunting, again, on Masuma Ranch early in August.

He shot one of the young giraffe that was bought from Clem Coetsee four years ago. There are no wild giraffe in eastern Matetsi. 6 giraffe were purchased for photographic purposes only. This same Professional Hunter has shot the tame buffalo that were hand reared.

Animals shot in this area since the evictions

On Woodlands Estate �B� �
2 Lion( one of which was wounded and only shot three days later and National Parks were not advised.)

6 Buffalo, 2 Sable, 2 Giraffe, 2 Kudu, 2 Impala and various other species whose details have not been received to date.
Other activities in this area

A South African vehicle has been seen on Woodlands Estate. Vehicle registration number:- FBT052N.

A fair number of South African Hunting vehicles have been seen in Victoria Falls and the areas they are hunting in are not known at this stage.

Heimann and Jens, this is an international forum - so please only write here in english. Send PM if you want to "talk" about anything in Danish.

I will shortly sum up the writing in Danish:

Heimann said; A known outfitter used by Sparta, is noted for activities in Zimbabwe (see the print by Bala Bala), since JER is Sparta�s director, I informed him about the matter.

Jens replied; The matter was not unknown by him, and that it was gossip spread by unhappy landowners in ZIM.

Hope it is ok!

Heimann
