I was looking into doing an 18 day leopard/lion combo next August vs just a straight leopard due to importation of the latter. Now with the TRump win should I try to do the combo or hold off a year until '18?

I would recommend waiting as I would be surprised if changes are made before 2018.

Hi Tony, I'm no Africa or Lion expert whatsoever, but try to keep up on things of that nature through Conservation Force and SCI. My take is that Trump is going to have his hands full for a few years so if and when he gets around to changing US Wildlife import regulations is anyone's guess.

The bigger issue as I see it is that Lion hunting opportunities seem to be getting fewer and fewer every year and more expensive, also. Therefore, if I was you and could swing the hunt now, I'd do it. Who knows? The international mindset could change on a dime, say with another Cecil incident, and they could pull the plug on lion hunting for good. Do it now if you can.

Lion hunts behind high fences is the new safari. More and more opening up for business. May be more lion hunting safaris in the future. LOL
