The Trump administration's support of Big Game hunts and recalling the tragic death of Cecil the Lion demanded a repost of the interview Tom Wilmer conducted with two big game, photographic safari guides recorded on location in Botswana.

Join trackers Dave Luck and Map Ives in Botswana’s Okavango Delta as they talk about the evolution of Big Game Safaris from hunting to capturing photographic images as the best hope for the future of Africa’s big game.

Discover how big game hunts serve as a substantial and tempting source of income for the African countries, as well as the economic pressures applied via the NRA through U.S. Senators and congressmen.
