Erik,

Could well be true, I'm certainly told he donated some Rhino to a private reserve a year or so ago..... which could mean something or nothing. Either way, I'm glad to say, Botswana is going the right way where Elephant permits are concerned. They're issuing an ever increasing number of permits and types of permits. Earlier this year, I had 15 permits at the same time and all it took to get those permits was three phone calls and 24 hours later I had them in my hands.
