John,

It depends on what type of land as mentioned above. But I can tell you that in Chewore North, the meat belongs to the concession owner (in this case Big5), and they use the meat to feed their staff (and probably sell a bit also). Any animals taken in a self defence situation (and that is not wanted as a trophy etc) befalls Nat. Parks. Thus, the elephant that charged us this summer, and was shot, went to the game scout camp in Chewore North. They were naturaly very happy for all the meat.
