Minimum
measurements for trophy hunting |
|
In the beginning
and middle of seventies epidemic of rabies and prolonged drought took severe toll on
population of old bulls which necessitated adoption (1983) of legislation which determined
a minimum measurements for trophy hunting.
The main purpose of the legislation was to clearly define and determine which animal can
be regarded as trophy. The legislation enabled to monitor statistics on quantity and
quality of animals taken in the country. |
|
Requirements and
specifications |
|
The measurements
(in centimetres) consider the length and mention the circumferences at the base. The
length is measured according according to Rowland Ward System. This method is also used by
the American Safari Club International. In case of wear-off horns the method allows more
accurate determination of the age of an animal. With spiralling horns of such antelopes as
Kudu and Eland it is measured around each spiral and both length are added. |
|
Medal system |
|
The idea to
promote selective hunting and to reward exceptional trophies was implemented by Namibian
Professional Hunting Association. Gold, silver and bronze medals with corresponding
certificates are rewarded for exceptional trophies. Special ''Conservation medal'' is
rewarded for exceptionally old trophies. |
|
Medal charges |
|
The NAPHA
charges US$ 40 for a gold medal, US$ 35 for silver, US$ 30 for
bronze and US$ 25 for conservation medal. If certificate is ordered without medal
the price is US$ 10 otherwise included in the medal's price. |
