Cameroon Natural Resources Hunting Program Adds Lord Derby Eland
Published: May - 2008
Cameroon Natural Resources, a community-based hunting program in Cameroon known as CAMNARES, has begun to offer northern savannah hunts for Lord Derby eland. You'll recall our initial report about CAMNARES, which involves local villages to provide porters and trackers to hunters interested in chasse-libre-type (on-your-own) hunts. CAMNARES started by offering forest hunts for bongo, and Hunting Report subscriber Wayne Lau was their very first client last July. Lau struck out on a bongo, but his hunting partner succeeded in taking a large, old bull. We published a detailed report on that hunt a while back.
Now, Lau reports that CAMNARES has added northern savannah hunts for Lord Derby eland. Seems Lau took an eland bull this past February with CAMNARES that was so old that he had worn the front side of his horns flat. Lau says the hunt went unexpectedly well even with the attempted coup next door in Chad, which occurred during his hunt. He has promised us a full report soon. In the meantime, you can see a photo of Lau's eland in the Trophy Gallery section of our web site, along with a photo of the bongo also taken with CAMNARES.
Eugene Yap of Southpoint Safaris is the contact person for anyone interested in a CAMNARES hunt in Cameroon. Just remember that hunts with CAMNARES are not for everyone. Only experienced Africa hunters in good shape and able to judge trophy quality for themselves should attempt one........(continued)
