Conservation and Responsible Hunting

When searching for an agent or outfitter for your foreign travels, we think it is vitally important to choose one with a reputation for practicing conservation and understands its responsibility to the future of hunting and fishing destinations. Trek Safaris has always been a leader in conservation issues dating back to our conception in 1973. Realizing that fisheries around the world are indeed assets, Trek has practiced "catch and release" programs in all the destinations we promote. This has substantially enhanced the fish populations and has increased chances for hook-ups for our guests.

Our conservation efforts have gone a long way towards establishing solid relations with the local natives (especially in third world countries), and encouraging good will for the future. While you are browsing through our website, you will not see dead billfish hanging on a scale or piles of fish rotting in the sun, but only live fish that have been either released or taken as legal limits such as salmon, halibut or an occasional dorado.

It is no secret that Trek is the largest wing shooting agency in the U.S., sending thousands of shooters around the world every year. This fact is supported by our 30 years of experience in the hunting arena whereby our staff has actually operated these hunts to our specifications and then passed along our knowledge to the local outfitter. In our view the single most important aspect of providing a good hunt is to scout, scout and scout some more and then hunt in a responsible manner. It does no good to find the birds if you do not implement a strategy that will allow consistent hunting across the board.

In some countries where limits are either non-existent or enforced by the local authorities, it has always been our position to impose voluntary limits for which each hunter is responsible. In most cases this has worked to everyone’s benefit as our clients get to hunt areas that receive little pressure, and we are able to conserve the hunting areas for the long haul. It is Trek’s position that there is nothing to gain by hunting any species to near extinction and our long-term managing of the game is the main reason we are rated the top wing shooting agency in the U.S. by most major publications.
