I think I mentioned it when I reported on my trip to SouthEast Asia in Dec 2006-February 2007 that I spent a couple of weeks with a French Expat who was doing a Game survey for NSOK in Northern Cambodia.

We stayed in a couple of different villages in a couple of different areas to the West of the Mekong River. We used local guides and vehicles, boats and on foot to check out the area.

To make a long story short, we didn't find much. Some Muntjak, some Bantang, or Gaar tracks. Some sign of Leopard. Some wild Elephants that had somehow avoided the Chinese. No Tigers

. A couple of fellows claimed there were Tigers but every time we went we couldn't find sign.

Cambodia almost wiped out their Deer Population during the Khmer Rouge days. It is coming back but poaching is rampant as food is still scarce. Most of the population that would normally be doing the work now is Dead so food is a struggle.

If they can manage to actualy put aside a mine free area that can allow repopulation it would be a great hunt. But even in the Best of Times Cambodia was a struggle to hunt.
