Gryphon

When I hunted in Southern Africa in 1994 we ran into poachers on all properties which I visited.

I hunted on Chipisi, Sondelani and Bubiana in the West Nicholson area. On Chipisi we chased a poacher in our baccie but we "leaped"

the boundary fence and got away. On Sondelani a game guard shot a poacher. On Bubiana we they have (had ??) white and black rhino (30) plus elephant they apprehended a poacher.

In Zambia I stayed on a farm on the Northern banks of the Zambezi and the army had been in the area for "manouvres" just previously and liberated the tusks from five elephants.

This last trip in the Matetsi Safari area everyday the trackers found game snares and on two days a dead buck in a snare.

Its a BIG problem when people are hungry and also a HARD problem when the legal system has fallen apart and the rule of law no longer exists.

So if an elephant stomps a poacher, at least in one instance nature has taken some revenge.
