| South Africa: Are You Ready for this Train-Based Safari? |
|
Africa aficionados who pine for the romance of bygone days will want to know about a new opportunity to hunt across South Africa using an elegant Edwardian-era style train as your base and mode of transportation. Think of it as hunting from a traveling five-star hotel from the early 1900s. You may have heard of South Africa's Rovos Rail, which became well-known among wing shooters for a marvelous bird shooting safari the company offered as one its rail tours.....

| Alberta: Only the Toughest Need Apply for These Free-Range Bison Hunts |
|
Alberta bison hunting offers challenging wilderness hunts for totally free-range trophy bison in their natural habitat. The hunting takes place around Wood Buffalo National Park, the largest national park in North America at 44,807 square kilometers (17,300 square miles) - an area larger than Switzerland. The park straddles the border of Northern Alberta and Northwest Territories. It was established in 1922 to provide sanctuary for wood bison and now boasts the largest (estimated at more than 5,000 animals) free-ranging herd of wood bison in the world.......

| CAR: Hunting Safaris Continue This Season Despite Continued Civil Unrest |

Last month I told you that at least two operators had carried out hunting safaris in the Central African Republic this past January/February despite the activities of the rebel group Seleka. You'll recall this rebel group swept through the countryside and threatened to take Bangui if President Francois Bozize did not step down. They have since done so; more on that in a moment......

| New Mexico & Texas: Hunts for Free-Range Exotics |
|
New Mexico began an official, state-sponsored, exotic game program in the late 1960s. The state evaluated several species for possible introduction, among them greater kudu, Persian red sheep and Persian gazelle, none of which were ever released due to potential competition issues with native game. The animals that were released include gemsbok (which are called oryx in NM), Persian ibex (or pasang), and aoudad, (which are called Barbary sheep in NM). Siberian ibex were also released in the Canadian River Canyon near Roy, NM in the late 1970s, and a few were hunted under limited public and landowner permits. I worked this area in 1977 and saw the ibex regularly, but their numbers dwindled, and I doubt any remain.....

| Conservation Force: USFWS Grants First Black Rhino Import Permit |
|
On April 4th, 2013, the USFWS issued the first Endangered Species Act, ESA, import permit for a black rhino hunting trophy. The permit was for a 34-year-old black rhino taken in Waterberg Plateau National Park in Namibia in October, 2009. It will be the first import of a black rhino hunting trophy since the black rhino was listed as “endangered” in 1980, 33 years ago. It is the first trophy import permit for any ESA “endangered” listed species taken in the wild since the ESA was passed in 1973. The black rhino is listed on Appendix I of CITES and as “critically endangered” on IUCN’s Red List. That said, both CITES and the IUCN African Rhino Specialist Group support the trophy trade. Like the bontebok, another ESA endangered listed species that is importable from South Africa but treated as a “captive bred” exception, black rhino permits will be processed on a permit-by-permit basis. We expect the conservation revenue arising from the hunting will more than double with the addition of the US market, the largest market by far. The following will give readers an understanding of the positive development for rhino..... |

| Conservation Force: Rhino Populations Grow Despite Poaching |
|
There is a poaching crisis in Africa at this time, but rhino numbers are still growing in Namibia and the Republic of South Africa. At CITES CoP16, the African Rhino Specialist Group of SSC/IUCN and TRAFFIC reported to the Secretariat on the Status, Conservation and Trade of Rhino, Doc. 54.2 (Rev.1) Annex 2. They reported that, “[d]espite high and increasing levels of poaching, both rhino species have continued to increase in the wild, with white rhino up from 17,475 in 2007 to 20,165 (Dec. 2010) and black rhino up from 4,230 in 2007 to 4,880” range-wide..... |

Barbara Crown Jun 27, 2012, Traveling with your hunting firearm gets more difficult every year, thanks to ever-changing airline policies and government agency regulations. Right now, thousands of hunters are either finalizing travel plans for this fall or are about to get on a plane for the African safari season this summer. The question is: will their guns get to their final destination with them? Or will the airlines refuse to check them through?
