> Nah, legalize poacher hunting. Most dangerous game and such.

Yeah that would totally not endanger(more than they already are) indigenous people living there. After all everyone knows how poachers look like.

We solve that with poacher-poacher-hunters. And it continues forever!

Non-lethal methods only, obviously. It's basically a combination between bounty hunting and citizen's arrest laws. Not saying it couldn't be abused but it's not impossible to imagine it working. You might not even need bounties if people saw it as a sport.

It's either that or potentially corrupt park rangers doing it - it's not like the existing system works great for anyone involved.
