Skotland – Peter:
"Right now here in mid May, Scotland are still in lockdown until 31st May and all roebuck hunting, salmon and seatrout fishing etc. are closed. Numbers of effected and dead people are moving in right direction. Hopefully in near future it all will start to easing up again, so we can get back to normal standards. We lost our roebuck stalking this spring, but we are ready for your clients for the stags in Sept. Hope you are all fine in DK.

Frankrig – Pierre Jean:
"Stalking opens 1st of June in France. The stalking season will go ahead but until further information, we still have some restrictions. In France we are not allowed to travel more than 100 km from our home, except for work. So recreational stalking is possible only for locals. We’ve been told that this will change in June and it will be more flexible so people can travel freely in France and most borders should be reopen, without quarantine (expect for Spain so far). Finger cross for the pick of the stalking season (mid July mid August) rules will be easy for hunters. Hopefully we can host a few foreign clients this summer, maybe some driving or flying if it is possible. Anyways, we have a lot of interest from French hunters as well. I’ll keep you informed as soon as I know more. Even us in France are getting new information by the day which makes longer term planning more difficult. I don’t think i twill be about quantity this season (it’s never is with me anyway) but we’ll focus on the quality of the hunt and the trophies."  

Rumænien – Emil:
"I haven't been out at all in the last period, but I was in contact with the gamekeepers. We have the best bucks of all time at the moment. Starting with today we have less restrictions so I will go out for taking photos soon. I really hope we will have some roe bucks hunters soon, so we can get started on the cull plan. Wildlife is doing great in Romania, but the greens are pressing the government to reduce numbers of licences for all species and to ban some hunts. For the rest all is great here with everybody. How are you and how is the situation in DK? Hope you are also doing well.

England – Chris:
"We are fine Thank you. Luckily having the farm we have plenty to crack on with.
Over 33 thousand deaths that have been owned up to which is not good. I dred to think how many more will get added to that figure. The lock down has only just been lifted and its only from yesterday you can really go out and do stuff. To do shooting as pest control you can only do it with someone in your household or only 1 person from outside your house hold. Still maintaining social distance of 2 m. In most cases its wise to get a letter from the land owner in case you get stopped by police. Everything you do has to be essential. We wouldn't normally do lots of roe bookings anyway so we in person are not too badly affected yet. On a good note there are lots of pigeons about and the farmers have got stuff planted now the ground has dried. There are lots of animals about due to lack of traffic and people but on that side we are also getting a lot of walkers etc who go where they aren't sposed to.
At the moment we are just waiting but if countries bring in this quarantine period we are not so sure things will happen. Hotels may be open from June 1st as a start up. However people here who work for companies are on furlough (means they get paid by government) have been told this may go on until October ,and us self employed will get a grant. We are trying to be optimistic that we may be able to do something from July,  August or Sept but its really hard to tell which way it will go. Lots of idiots in London on the tube. We may get a 2nd outbreak. We have nowhere to sell game at the moment as dealers are closed. Any other question give us a shout. I still check the computer on a daily basis.

Rusland  – Artem:
"It seems the numbers are going down slowly, we in Moscow are still lockdowned until 31 May,only factories and works restarted working
In other parts of Russia where we are organizing hunts  (Caucasus,Siberia,Kamchatka,Kurgan etc) the numbers are very low.
We hope the early June the life starts going back to normal and we very much hope that the borders will be open again so that we can organize the hunts starting from 01 Aug 
Due to the fact that Russian borders were closed in April, we had to shift all Spring hunts 2020 to 2021
Hope you are safe and healthy in DK.

Estland – Hannes:
"March, April & May are quiet months always. Hunting season in Estonia will start with Roe Bucks from 1 Jun. Some losses I had with hunting shows in Madrid and in Paris. Because they did not refund payments for booths - but what we can do. Now the situation is better - the islands are open, the Latvian border is open, and soon (I hope) they will open the border with Finland. So we just have to hope that all the borders between EU countries will also be opened up and that customers' interest in travel will still be there. It is important to me that this happens before August.
I have some bookings from you - Bear in August, some hunters for Bird hunting and some for Moose, hope and sure they will go as planned. Roe Buck population is really good now in Estonia. Maybe we can do some groups together?

Canada – Kiff:
"I’m out in camp now and fixing the new camp, it will get really good and ideal for clients – hope you like the photo attached. We are starting to open up here now slowly. Hunting is allowed but of course the border isn’t open yet. I think we are down to about 300 active Covid19 cases here now.
There will be many bankruptcies in all industries....anyone with too much debt is in trouble. My current concern is the US situation.....they are doing such a poor job I don’t know they ´l be allowed in for the fall season.

Argentina – Carlos:
"In Argentina we are doing relatively fine; not too many cases and especially, few deaths. As cold weather sets in and the lock down is eased we'll probably have more cases but it all should play within a controlled scenario. In La Pampa Province there have only been 5 cases and the initial aggressive lockdown and the fact that it’s mostly a rural province with no big cities has helped keep the province almost virus free. Our staff are all safe and working normally.
The economy has been hurt pretty badly and for us it's been quite tough with hunting income dropping so strongly this spring. We were only able to hunt two weeks and had to reschedule more than 60 hunters to 2021 and 2022. Fortunately this mess caught us with a strong financial position and our cattle business which is quite big has helped keep the boat afloat. We will be able to weather the corona crisis and hopefully things will slowly return to normal by next year.
At this point we are busy working on the maintenance program for the lodge and ranch. We are also using the free time to shoot cull deer and cut down a bit the population of females which has been growing quite rapidly.
Attached you fill find some pictures from April and May.
I trust you all are fine in Denmark. From what I’ve read on the news it’s not been that bad.
Please send my regards to all the team.

Namibia – Heiko:
"We are doing fine here on Kataneno and are concentrating on our cattle business, which will pull us through this year.  In the meantime the good thing about no hunters, is that renovations are running very well and all those tiny faults get fixed once again. Namibia is blessed with only 16 cases of Covid and 0 deaths.   Thanks to our government, they acted very swiftly, even already in January of this year.  The tourist centres and two main cities, dependant on tourism were under lockdown, while the rest of the country had lesser restrictions. Now in Mid-May we had no new infections for nearly six weeks.  Our wildlife is just doing fine at the moment and the reproduction was very good in this wonderful year of lots of rain.  The longer resting period for the game is doing them well and they are even getting tame.  There are game farms that might harvest wild animals for cash flow problems or reduce the numbers to keep numbers stable.  But Kataneno and its concessions are not influenced by this.  We have lots of grazing, the neighbours and partners have lots of grazing and we are more than happy to halt hunting until international air traffic comes again to normality.  After the relaxation of the Covid measures, the too-good-to-be-true special offers will abound.  Some outfitters will need desperate measures and income.  It would be a necessity to receive some additional income from each hunter through hidden costs and empty promises.  These will surely escalate.  Each business has its fixed costs and if there are offers that lure guests to under the breadline deals, surely something will go wrong.  Surely and unfortunately there will be some disappointments for some hunters going to the most cheapest outfit that is trying to maximize turnover with many hunters. It is thus imperative that hunters read the fine print of the many small adverts and rather rely on long standing local partners, to be at ease when the hunting trip starts. While Covid regulations are still gradually easing up and Namibia is awaiting a good time to open up air-traffic again, we in the meantime tend to look after our wildlife and are having a great time with our wildlife and enjoy their company .
