Episode 578 - John Luyt || Limpopo Elephant Hunting Update

John Luyt is one of the professional hunters that works in the APNR - the Associated Private Nature Reserves of the Kruger National Park. These reserves were setup to incorporate into Kruger National Park and allow for more movement of wildlife. With the dropping of fences, Kruger's burgeoning elephant population has spilled into the APNR, where legal, highly regulated hunting of elephants occurs. The hunting of elephants in this area has gone through significant upheaval since 2021, when Humane Society International put a court interdict in place stopping export of elephant trophies. Today, we get a huge step forward towards returning to pre-2021. John brings Robbie breaking news out of the Limpopo Province of South Africa that now, for the first time in quite some time, international hunters may now hunt nonexportable elephants in the Limpopo Province, along with a history of why this is such a significant clawback of ground after several battles in and out of court.
