I guess it each country have the right to do what they seem fit .....just sad that some of this science makes Zero sense ....eg Brown Hyena vs Spotted imports ..... we have very little areas with limited numbers of Spotted Hyena ..... We have Brown Hyena pretty much country wide in very high...

Looks like a healthy pack of Jackals you have !

We had our anual Phasa AGM over the weekend . We met with Laird Hamberlin CEO of SCI and I can tell you that there is deinately hope ! He said the registrations are up 28 % from last year . I am sure with his visions he will turn it around !

I have a lot of clients over many years use them ! Great team ! Great work !

Thank you to everybody assisting as well as Gerhard and Jerome for getting the thread rolling !

I guess the best person to reply would be Gerhard ! He seems to have a close connection .

Only check luggage !

Last 2 sets of clients flew Quatar via Doha . No issues and said best service ever on a plane !

There are still some good ones around .... and some on bait ...

It actually has always been there policy just not always enforced or enquired about . Stay away from ammo boxes . Put them in factory boxes and it should not be an issue ....

Tembani wildlife ....and yes did measure at 75.25 ". He is used in a breeding program . The natural breeding time for Kudu is right now.

Going to be tough to ban any bags arriving as final destination. If you have a connecting flight that might be a problem. Yes there are wrappers for bags pretty in both Terminals.

You contracted with the outfitter not the ph . The ph might be stipulated in an agreement but we all know that can change for many different reasons. The employees of a Safari Company should all compliment that Entity. That is I guess why the Outfitter chooses who he employs as this reflects...

A speedy Recovery to Bossie we will keep him in our Prayers !

Not so sure that will change attendance .....same venue , same possibe weather issues . Too close to the hoidays brought DSC 10 000 extra attendees ..... There are also a lot of exibitors who already made their travel reservations .... I guess only time will tell but I am not sure this will...

I guess you answered your own question ....it wasnt what it used to be .....

I have clients that are religious SCI members that goes EVERY year . He was one that booked over $100 000 hunts this year..... They will not be back. Firstly they were lied to about the hotel reservations. They were told the Hotel is onsite ..... well the Peppermill is a mile away . They do not...

Interesting numbers .....I am sure some or most of the 15 000 never saw the inside of the Convention centre ....or got lost between the maze of convention space. Mandalay Bay not a good choice either ....spent a lot of time in Vegas this year . Seem like the Shooting there did them lots of...

I guess I should appologise in advance .....this is my luggage back to Africa today ..... They are flat on all sides .... for easier handling [emoji13]

I do not want to highjack your post as Phasa is not what it is all about ..... I just need to put FACTS out there. We have more members than we did after the disgruntled 70 members left . The total loss was less than 10 %. We did loose 350 members due to the actions of some of these ex members...

You need the letter of invitation in all events . Pre approved and if you get it at airport . Your outfitter should know this . Yes 4457 with current years date stamp on. Happy Hunting !

All canned hunting is illegal ! You as a long standing ex member should know this. And NO Phasa does not support canned or illegal hunting .

Welkom Tony !

Yes no VAT on trophy fees ! Trophies need to be exported either dip and pack or mounted in 18 within 18 months to qualify for Zero rate.

Great news !!!

I am not sure how registered Outfitters with legal permits from Provinces can be excluded in tender process. My honest opinion is this would be an illegal action. Provinces were consulted in this process .... These roomers that just individuals belonging to CPH-SA would be allowed to hunt in...

Very reputable outfitter ! You wont go wrong on Somerby !

Same sentiments I got from most of my friends that were there ..... great show for pretty much all of them ...... ! I am sure it will be bigger and better next year ! Less people will be in Reno next year .......

No he was not .

Kruger National Park is fenced ....7 m acres ....so I guess they are also not wild ....there are also 2 well known reserves in Zim that are fenced ..... and these are sold as wild lions . We need to stop attacking our Industry ....if anything is not for you pass ....someone else might be up...

I was there all 4 days .... 4 very long days. The attendance was significantly down. Numbers of under 8000 are mentioned.... taking into account that most attendees bring a partner I guess you can do your own math on how many attendees that could be a client to the thousands of booths. I...

I am not sure how to approach this thread . I guess someone posted and asked for help regarding an Outfit . He got the info from a few sources .... I guess it is his decision to make after weighing his options . I am sure there will be an answer in the end on this saga . Just not sure if it...

Will try and pop in ....maybe Dries too

Definately no concerns. This forum would be the first place to be notfied should anything change . Happy Hunting !

A busy bunch on bait ..... looks like they are ensuring future hunts ......

How would this save the SA population ?

There are hundreds of leopards killed the last 3 years ....way more than ever before . No landowner is going to tolerate cats for 7 years in order to maybe get a permit . Females which are the supply chain have ZERO value . How many will end up in a hole ? We have an allocation of 150 CiTES...

5 of the 7 is in Limpopo .... the Limpopo departement referred their allocation back to National as they are not sure how to allocate this ... time is running out . This allocation has been known for more than a month .... nothing happens . I doubt if anything will . Research done by Pantera...

South Africa has a quota and between 45 and 80 are hunted annually .

RW just works on outside spread . That is the score . They also do not distinguise between Rifle / Bow / Muzzleloader or Handgun .

Claude was a MAN amongst men .... he will be dearly missed by all of his friends and family .... He definately left bwhind a legacy . RIP Claude till we meet again [emoji22]

Great mount ! Saw it last week when I was there !

Not to far from each other ....Alldays a little drier than Ellisras with different vegetation. Both great options !

Thanks for posting this .... this would show members how different an interview can be portrayed by selective editing .....

This is a good example of how media can twist a story to fit in an agenda. Unfortunately most of the members here did not see the full TV program that was very selectively edited to push an agenda. I hope this will give al little more clarity into a complex and sensitive issue .

I will follow up on procedures in EC . But normally it is a license in hunting season and a permit rest of year . Little more paperwork and a little more expensive. Your Outfitter should be knowledgeable about this . But I will reply ASAP on other info
