How limited are honey badger permits?

enysse · May 11, 2014

Don't have time to look the information up, but do outfitters have to apply for a honey badger permit months before a client arrives? Are outfitters limited on how many them can take?

In Limpopo not currently yet but with a new draft looming it would probably become nearly impossible to get a permit . I hunted 6 last year . They do limit you to one per property currently and there are talks of limits of one per outfitter per year ....... This while I have 5 on bait in one video devouring my leopard bait ....... Permit needs to be done at least 3 weeks in advance

Happy Hunting !!!

The Honey Badger would make a great trophy. I also would like one. I have seen 1 adult and 2 smaller ones in the bush. However, I did not have a permit for taking one.

If you think you have the option to take one while on safari, check with your PH about obtaining the proper permits prior to going on safari.

I have found it is better to have the paper work in place and not see one, than see one and not have the proper paper work in hand.

On my last PG hunt in South Africa, we saw a Honey Badger on a Caracal bait. My PH wasn't sure if I could shoot it, so I didn't. When we checked with the Outfitter's wife, she said "No way, permits were not available."
