In The February Issue of The Hunting Report Newsletter |
|
| Africa: Tanzania Post-Allocations |
| As this is written on January 20, Tanzania had not yet issued a public list of concession allocations for 2013-2018. You'll remember I reported which companies had received concessions back in the October 2011 issue and then expanded on that report in November, identifying those companies which were experienced safari operators..... |
|
| Angola: Slow Progress to Reopen Hunting |
| So what's happening in Angola? You'll recall I told you about efforts to reopen this destination back in February 2010 when safari operator Roger Whittall announced he would be conducting safaris there later that year..... |
|
| Botswana: Big Jumbo From CT7; Late-season Areas For Auction |
| Jeff Rann of Rann Safaris tracked me down at The African Hunting Show in Atlanta to tell me I missed reporting in last month's round up on Botswana about a 95 x 90 pound jumbo client Kip Yearwood took this past September in CT7..... |

| Briefly Noted: Auction Opportunity for California Tule Elk Hunt |
| If you missed our January 4th Email Extra Bulletin, you'll want to know that the Sonoma County Farm Bureau is auctioning off a tule elk tag and hunt at their "Crab & Wine Fest" on February 4th, 2012 at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds Grace Pavilion in Santa Rosa, California..... |
|
| Europe: Information Requested |
| Our quick mention last month of possible scam hunts and manipulated trophies in Hungary and Romania, has stirred up a real firestorm in Europe. Emails are flying, and we now have more detailed information on those hunts as well as related facts on the resolution of a similar case of trophy manipulation in Bulgaria. More information is coming in daily..... |
|
| Mozambique: Update on Fees; Exciting New Pilot Program |
| Last month I warned you that Mozambique was planning a trophy fee hike for 2012. The initial proposal was to raise the fees by as much as 300 percent in some cases. Thankfully, the Association of Mozambique Operators (AMOS) was able to get authorities to back away from an increase on the eve of the conventions and to rethink the amount of those increases..... |

| North America In Review: Results of 2011 Big Game Seasons for La Garita Outfitters, North Island Guide Outfitters; Canadian Guide Outfitters |
| Hunt results are now in for the 2011 western big game seasons. Many of the outfitters I reported on last year were affected by the severe and unseasonably long, cold winter of 2010/11 that much of North America experienced, yet still produced for their clients. Here are some of the more interesting results from last season..... |

| Outfitter Critique: Special Round-up of Hunt Reports on Central Asia |
| As this issue goes to press in late January, hunting in Asia presents a mixed bag of both opportunities and frustrations. Despite continued interest from international hunters, China remains closed. The political and security situation in both Pakistan and Iran is questionable at best for western hunters, particularly Americans. Yet there are still opportunities for quality hunts available in the region...... |
|
| Outfitter Critique: A Lucky Draw Hunt For Maine Moose |
| After reading the article on Northeast moose hunting opportunities in the March, 2011 issue of The Hunting Report, I decided to enter the moose lotteries for New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine. In Maine, I took advantage of the system that allows you to purchase extra chances in the draw and bought two books of 10 chances each for $110. Much to the dismay of many who have been trying for 20-plus years, I was chosen for a bull tag in Wildlife Management District 6 in Aroostook County along the New Brunswick border..... |
|
| Pacific Northwest: Who to Call RIGHT NOW for Roosevelt Elk |
| Though they are more widespread geographically than their smaller tule cousins, taking a trophy Roosevelt elk is no easy feat. The country they frequent, the rainforests of the Pacific Northwest from California to Alaska (where Roosevelt elk were introduced to Afognak and Raspberry Islands), is often steep and thick and difficult to hunt. Opportunities can be limited also. Here's a breakdown of where you can hunt Roosevelt elk and who to call.... |

Barbara Crown Sep 10, 2010, Wow! Talk about smoke screens. Anti-hunting groups will say anything to demonize what we do, but to use the safety and even the death of children as a platform for their agenda is unconscionable. However, before you blow it off as the simple rambling of the rabid, take a closer look at what they are really accomplishing here. |
