It is out on social media now so I think it’s okay to post what @DLSJR told me a couple days ago concerning a tragic attack in Cameroon. It seems that poachers attacked some Mayo Oldiri workers and killed a great guy named Juan and badly injured another great guy, Milo. Guav Johnson has now posted a tribute on IG about his friend and colleague, Juan. So sad! Prayers for the families and friends! I hope the government of Cameroon takes these poachers more seriously now and sends in the military.

The danger those teams over there are exposed to for the livelihood is 24-7 humans and animals alike. Condolences to his team and family
 
Very sad situation for all. Thoughts and prayers to the families of the deceased and injured persons.

I can’t find the article online. Did this attack happen in the savanna region or the forest region of Cameroon?

Savannah
 
That’s awful to hear. My prayers are offered to all impacted by this tragedy. Wildlife conservation in many parts of the world is literally a war. Without the efforts of outfitters and their people like the ones in this story and the hunters that book the hunts these wild areas and their animals will be lost forever.
 
Is self-defense allowed in these situations?

Anti-poaching there isn’t armed. If they had a military member along with them he’d shoot. The manager likely carried a rifle but there’d be a lot of explaining to do to authorities that might not go well, however in this situation I don’t think that would be a consideration.
 
My condolences to the family and friends of the deceased.
 
Terrible situation and condolences to the families.

Back to the OP comment regarding the military I hope authorities take a swift response to control the problem. A strong stance needs to be taken to protect innocent people
 
The Savannah area has many risks beyond poachers. It’s sad as I loved my time there but I can see opportunity dwindling in that region as the years go by. Hunting is likely the only thing keeping the region afloat.
 
My condolences to Juan’s family. I had the honor of meeting him in 2016 while hunting the Savannah with Mayo Oldiri. We talked about his anti poaching work which was a constant battle. This is a tragic loss for the wildlife in those areas.

May he Rest in Peace.

Do you have any cull hunts available? 7 days, daily rate plus per animal price?
