Was going through the rate list. It said $ 750 for a boar and $ 3200 for an Axis .
Thats about Rs 34000/= for a boar and a wooping Rs 144000/= for a Cheetal.
And that's just the trophy fee. Excluding Taxidermy, boarding and lodging .
Imagine how much our Forest Depts could earn if they allowed Controlled and Legal hunting.
They could raise enough funds to fence the jungles and arm their guards to fight poachers.
haha.you said it prashant.
hunting is a mega industry in north america and its quite regulated i must say.
licences/tags are sold to a few and some of the money spent goes back to conversation.
thats what i like.
india cud definitely do the same.
take an animal cencus in a region and start auctioning tags.keep it a pilot project.
if it works then they could introduce the same everywhere.
i feel hunting is a moral issue back in india.kind of a taboo.
maybe we should all write to the environment minister to reintroduce hunting.
it could work you know.

another thing prashant.
750$ for a boar is cheap.
i was hunting with a few other americans and they all took the meat home.it lasts for months and its great value for money.
it was a bit pricey for me coz you cant take the meat home.
but i know of a place in texas where you can hunt as many boars for 250$.you gotta pay for the harvesting though.
they donate the meat if you dont take it home with ya.fair deal.
i saw your avtaar image.
care to share your images?
where was this hunt?
