#Walia Controlled Hunting Area - Ethiopia
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
Too start with the positives: A second Ethiopian map, it is good to see suggestions for African reserves that take place in various countries
Also the species list is generally well chosen (I like the inclusion of species like Mountain Nyala, Giant Forest Hog, Ostrich & Nile Lechwe to name a few) and I like the explanation for the name of the reserve
Now for a very minor “negative” (more of a nitpick on my part): The Returning Species list seems a tad odd
• While I understand Besia Oryx and Gemsbok do look similar, Besia Oryx have less black on their legs (first image).
• Cape Buffalo are not the buffalo you read typically about being when it comes to Ethiopia, it is apparently Nile Buffalo, what the difference is I am not sure. I guess you could do what y (hence why I provide images that are confirmed to be buffalo taken in Ethiopia and this link (https://www.peterflack.co.za/hunt-conservation-nile-buffalo-dati/) does talk about buffalo in Ethiopia, it is a heck of a read so I provided a screenshot shot that sums up what I am going on about)
For changes to those 2 species on the list here is a good way to go (in keeping with your style)
• Besia Oryx (Gemsbok)
• Nile (Cape) Buffalo
Another change I might suggest is the weapon class for Giant Forest Hog being a Class 6 or 7 animal: Despite their size calibres like the 375 seem to be recommended for them a fair bit
As for what you could add (if you choose too)
• Nile Crocodiles in the wetlands
• A 416 H&H Magnum Bolt-action for Buffalo and Lion
I’m Not Even Going To Lie I Had No Idea Which Kind Of Oryx Was In Ethiopia, I Just Chose Beisa Because They Sounded Cool. Also, I’m Pretty Sure That The Main Difference Between Cape And Nile Buffalo Are The Horns And The Range They Live In. They’re Both Parts Of The African Buffalo Species, Just Different Subspecies. Another Thing Is That I Didn’t See Anything Saying That Nile Crocs Are Huntable In Ethiopia.
Here are some places too look regarding crocodiles

would like to see fallow deer get added
Fallow Deer only live in South Africa and apparently The Atlas Mountains according to this map.
Fallow Deer Cannot Be Found In Ethiopia. They Can Be Found Where Vurhonga Is Set, Though.

Few tweaks here and there, otherwise good work! Nicé presentable format and a good species list.

why ostrich class 3 thats like saying banteng class 6 💀
Ostriches are huge, as they can reach up to 120 kg (264 lbs), but they’re easily taken with .243 or 12ga Buckshot. They could be bumped to class 4 but I think class 3 works good.
Weight isnt the only factor that EW uses to determain what class animals are. size is another key factor. ostriches are very tall. i'd even say class 5 is good. could be shot with a 7mm, .243, Buckshot, and the 308
All of those would work with class 4 too.
true i guess
