    Dishonest taxidermist

    I wouldn’t hunt for lion in RSA , those are 100% CBL ( cage bred lions) They turn them loose in a area then drag the road to erase any prints, then next day drive and cut spoor on the road then you walk them down The places we have hunted in RSA are open concessions near Kruger and Mozambican...
