Hunting for Civet

Civet Cat, in spite of catlike appearance and the name, is not a cat in the strict sense of the word. It belongs to the family Viverrids, small, omnivorous creatures that are great climbers, nevermind that their claws aren’t fully retractable.You can legally hunt a Civet Cat in Cameroon, South Africa, Tanzania and Zimbabwe. Civet Cats are scavengers, so a hunt over bait is possible. Where legal, hunting at night, with night sights or artificial light, is perhaps the most efficient way of taking a Civet Cats. Africans hunt Civet Cats both for their fur and for their meat.
