Mozambique Poacher's Trap - Supporting Anti-Poaching in Mozambique
Mozambique Poacher's Trap - Supporting Anti-Poaching in Mozambique Poaching stands as the worst threat to hunting in the 21st, not only does it decimate game and wildlife it stands as a cornerstone in the anti-hunting communities' argument for total protection of game and while hunters understand appreciate the difference between ethically and scientifically acceptable game harvest it is continuously used in an effort to control the dialogue and confuse the topic in the minds of the general public. Nowhere is the issue of poaching more infamous than in Africa, since the end of the golden safari age poaching has developed into an epidemic throughout the continent with some of the most remote and pristine areas being the most severely impacted. African Outfitters, ranchers and farmers stand on the most desperate front lines this ecological genocide- Organizing patrols and task forces, removing traps and snares, shutting down illegal mining and forestry operations and husbanding the wildlife they have taken personal responsibility for. With that in mind SCI Calgary is honored to offer an authentic poacher's trap from Mozambique's Coutada 9 which was captured by the anti-poaching forces that are organized by Mokore Safaris and the Duckworth family and it is fitting that 100% of the proceeds that are generated by its sale will be returned to the wilderness areas it was originally seized from to support Mokore's efforts in protect some of Africa's most vulnerable wilderness.

Limited Edition Framed Artwork By 2023 SCI Calgary Artist of The Year- Ken Hoehn
Limited Edition Framed Artwork By Ken Hoehn "Rollers are members of the Bee Eater family, and they over one of the most celebrated plumage color pallets in nature. This remarkable photograph is intended to show them in their work. The birds have discovered a bee's nest situated in the mud near a water hole in the wilds of Botswana, in southern Africa. In the moment they have agitated the nest a bit, so that the bees have exited the hive to defend their home. The Rollers can simply pick them out of the air at this point, and they do so with deadly success. I can remember laying on the ground and moving my body slowly forward, being careful not to disrupt the activity. Of course, the picture was the prize I was after, but it came with a bee sting inside my ear in the process. For weeks after, the pain reminded me of this special and beautiful moment." - Ken Hoehn -
