Ok - I don't know anything about the guy and certainly don't approve of poaching. My original post was 'coloured' by an experiance I once had when trying to get a variation on my firearms certificate for a .375H&H. Basically the police were questioning whether I 'needed it' as they felt it too powerful for deer stalking and boar were still unheard of in the UK at the time. There is a requirement on the license for the chief of police to approve land as being 'suitable' for a particular class of weapon before granting a variation to a certificate, and somehow the local firearms officer seemed to think that this jurisdiction also applied overseas to land in Zimbabwe!!
