A tiger on your list perhaps?

Asia : Cambodia to open game hunting park
on 2009/3/3

The Cambodian government has approved the establishment of a game park for well-heeled hunters in a remote jungle-covered northern province, officials said.

The cabinet passed a sub-decree for the creation a more than 100,000-hectare (247,105-acre) reserve for game hunting in Ratanakkiri province, a government statement said. The establishment of the reserve is for “investment, wildlife conservation and the sustainable development of wildlife hunting in order to serve the economy of the community”, the statement said. The reserve would help eradicate illegal wildlife poaching, it said.

The statement did not say when the park would open or who would operate it, but Madrid-based NSOK Safaris expressed an interest in December 2007. “First, we have to establish the area and the investment is the next step,” Chheang Dany, deputy director of the forestry administration’s wildlife protection office, said. afp

Would the government also deliver trophies through the diplomatic pouch? No way USFW or other countries would allow the shipment of trophies otherwise
Great idea though, subject to the usual caveats...

Just when I thought this might never happen...it could for someone with the finances to do so..

Personally not in favor of canned hunts,,,but hey, whatever floats your boat..

Tiger- what a wonderful opportunity to use the best tiger rifle there is, a 14 bore English Sporting Rifle loaded with 15 bore balls and 6 drams of good powder in each tube. Yessireeeee.

Well..., they wouldn't have to fence the entire area...they could fence part of it like many ranches do in S Africa for cats, FFS....

The article doesn't list what game is available in the hunting reserve(?).

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.
