Anti Poaching Pictures

Glad to hear you got the guy. Stories like this really highlight the importance of funding anti poaching operations

Exactly, the effort that goes into the APU and patrols doesn't often seem worth it until an event such as this.
Then you realize how important it is to keep boots on the ground all the time.
Scouts have been recording species data, sightings and locations and we are definitely noticing a positive trend in all numbers from small to large.

I take my hat off to the anti-poaching work being done....but it is a bit hard to be optimistic on the whole considering that Africa´s population will double by 2050...sad..

That is insane. Well job young men and women.

So, something I have wondered about for a while. How much do those rifles cost, or more accurately, how much does it really set a poacher back when the rifle is confiscated? They don't look to be in great repair, are there just barrels of parts laying around so when one rifle is taken it can be replaced that afternoon?

Old muzzle loader, locally hand made, or of old vintage at least locally repaired? It should be in two digit number in us dollars, that would be my guess.

Fair enough. It was just a "gee I wonder" sort of thing.
