I have been planning to do a Zim buff hunt late next year, and man there are some good deals right now.
But, I have also been following the political unrest there right now as what seems to be the initial stages of an uprising against Uncle Bob. I saw lots of vids of roadblocks, skirmishes, burning vehicles, and threatening angry mobs.
If things take a turn for the worse, would travel there be safe?
Even if it remains safe to travel, how will hunting be impacted? Even though we hate Mugabe, isn't there a chance that a replacement would be less hunter friendly - perhaps even going as far as giving wildlife habitat away as entitlements? Wouldn't a new leader score "brownie points" with the international community if they took a hard stance on hunting? Recent history is rife with examples of things getting much worse after a dictator is removed.
