I am an avid hunter but more importantly, I am a passionate conservationist. What is the current status of the elephant population and the ivory genetics in Africa? With one hundred pounders no longer around are we continuing to shoot out what genetics we have left? I am also concerned with lion. In some areas, especially in southern Tanzania, the large flowing manes are becoming less and less prominant. The good old days of Africa have dwindled since the days of Wally Johnson, but will they be non-existant in years to come?
