With the increasing prices, I have no doubt that some of these countries will soon be financially off limits to many of those who are able to hunt in Africa at the moment. And as we've seen before, with decreased commercial hunting, poaching will increase...

If the African governments are dumb enough to think that fewer, but richer, clients will bring in the same amount of money to the country, then they are forgetting all the other money that gets spent by regular hunters. Tremendous amounts are spent on hotels, transfers to/from the hunting area either by car or plane, restaurants etc, not to mention the souvenir industry. These things give work and income to a very large number of locals. It seems to me that those in power are as usual more interested in making more money quikly, rather than thinking long term.

I'm very glad that I've spent time in several of the more expensive hunting countries, but it seems increasingly unlikely that I'll be able to hunt in them in the future.

Erik
