From humble beginnings in 1994, this magazine has grown phenomenally with regard to quality, contents and scope – especially in 2014 when we published an issue of 200 pages in August, which was a first.
We are grateful for the blessings from Above and for the contribution of dedicated colleagues as well as loyal readers and advertisers.
For more than 27 years we have been supporting the organised hunting, game producers and nature conservation organisations, and promoting the concept of sustainable utilisation of our natural assets.  After 27 years, we are still amongst the most admired and respected publications in South Africa. We have successfully integrated social and digital technology to keep our 40 000+ social and digital subscribers to our GAME & HUNT Daily, Facebook and Instagram platforms informed of newly received or noteworthy industry information or recent events.
Our feature articles and the 50 000 subscribers (Audit Bureau of Circulations) to our monthly printed GAME & HUNT and interactive online GAME & HUNT DigiMag (not a PDF copy) publications always have one thing in common:  A keen interest in experiencing life - being in the great outdoors, whether to hunt or just to be part of nature.

Day on 5 September to raise awareness of the plight of dwindling vulture 
populations worldwide. The white-backed vulture graces our cover this month 
and features in our species article by Prof J du P Bothma (p 58), as well as in our 
monthly column, “Birding on your hunting trip” (p 24). This bird is endangered due 
to poisoning and habitat destruction, and according to Prof Bothma, the continental 
population has been decreasing steadily since 1922. The media and initiatives such 
as this special awareness day play a crucial role in educating the public about the 
importance of conservation.

Pangolins lack teeth, are covered with scales and are 
insectivorous. The ancestor of the mammal order Pholidota, 
which contains eight species of living pangolin, evolved some 
37,3 million years ago from a generalised, ancestral, placental 
mammal that also gave rise to the cat- and doglike animals. 
Consequently, the pangolins and carnivores are closely 
related and share some of their nuclear DNA. The pangolins 
that occur in Asia and the Far East evolved 22,8 million years 
ago and those in Africa some 12,9 million years ago.

Nuwe Avontuur / New Adventure
Jagters wat al ’n springbokvoorsitjag in die Karoo ervaar het of diegene wat die
voorreg het om dit jaarliks te doen, sal weet dis ’n unieke jag – net so uniek soos
om in die bosveld, Oos-Kaap of Kalahari te jag. Hierdie avonture maak Suid-
Afrika eiesoortig, al het jag in ons land die laaste 40 jaar ’n totale gedaantewisseling
ondergaan, met die meeste jagervarings wat nou grotendeels van die agterkant van ’n
voertuig eerder as te voet in die veld plaasvind. Stefan Fouché en Hancke Hudson wys
hoe ons weer die wese van ’n ware jagtog kan ervaar. Verlede jaar het hulle die spiralhorn challenge te voet aangedurf en met ’n dubbelloop en oop visier gejag. Vanjaar het dié twee manne die jagveld ingevaar met net ’n rugsak elk – geen voertuig of luukse lodge nie. Lees op bl 14 hoe hulle tent opgeslaan het, op hul boude in die rooi sand gesit en die sterrehemel bewonder het, en met behulp van koplampies hul trofee op hul skouers in die donker teruggedra het “kamp” toe – ’n heel nuwe avontuur.
As the days started to shorten and the trees in his garden turned to autumn colours,
Lawrence Jennings returned to Middelkop Safaris in the Vryburg region to fulfil his
lifelong dream of hunting a big eland bull. Although he unfortunately wounded and lost
the eland, he outsmarted a fine gemsbuck bull after a hard hunt. On p 23 he shares
these hunts and reflects on the lessons it has taught him – lessons that will help him
become a better hunter and outdoorsman.

Die afgelope HuntEx het bewys dat, hoewel die Suid-Afrikaanse ekonomie effens druk, veral die jag- en wapenbedryf steeds sterk staan met duisende skougangers wat dié gewilde skou besoek het. WILD & JAG verskaf deur die jaar blootstelling aan ons adverteerders se nuwe produkte, dienste en produktoetse en ons is trots daarop om só ons
adverteerders wat ook by HuntEx was, in die gedrukte en sosiale media te ondersteun. Blaai gerus na bl 30–31 om te lees wat beide die uitstallers en besoekers sê en vind ook meer uit oor een van WILD & JAG se HelpJag-inisiatiewe. In the second of the two-part series, “The making of a hunting ambassador”, Ron Thomson states that most people, including biological scientists, don’t understand the fact that nobody can “manage a species”. He explains the difference between home ranges and territories, with reference to rhinos and elephants – interesting reading for all hunters, especially those hunting in Big Five areas. Talking about “big” – Stefan Fouché and Christophe Roelofse went hunting, using a .500 Smith & Wesson with 300 gr FTX rounds and a .460 Smith & Wesson with 200 gr FTX rounds. On p 24–26 they explain that shooting a blesbuck up to a distance of 172 m with these handguns does not only take skill, but also a lot of practice. Wanneer moet ’n pa sy kind toelaat om haar eerste bok te skiet? So vra Christiaan Klindt waar hy op bl 32–34 vertel van Kalahari-kinders wat maar net anders is, anders praat en anders speel.
Geniet die uitgawe!

Met Suid-Afrika se unieke wildbedryfmodel, waar wild agter heinings voorkom, maak Ron Thomson die stelling dat jagters potensieel die beste jagambassadeurs vir hulself kan wees mits hulle hul omliggende omgewing ten volle verstaan. Wat maak van ’n jagter ’n goeie ambassadeur? Ron stel hierdie vraag en verduidelik dat dit slegs kan gebeur indien die jagter verstaan hoe jag binne die groter bewarings-, oftewel wildlewebestuursmodel, inpas. Hoewel jag ’n integrale deel van wildlewebestuur uitmaak, is dit nie die belangrikste element nie. Dit is dus verkeerd as jagters sê jag is die alfa en omega van wat hulle as jagters bewaring noem. Lees gerus op bl 8–10 hoe Ron die Afrika-olifant as voorbeeld gebruik om hierdie belangrike aspek van wildlewebestuur te verduidelik. As hunting is a tool of wildlife management, the choice of available hunting tools changed when modern civilisation introduced firearms into the arsenal of hunting weapons. In “The art and science of hunting” (p 53–56), Cleve Cheney explains that people are attracted to a hunting tool of choice, based on childhood impressions, the level of challenge, novelty, practice opportunity, and in many instances, affordability.
All these factors came into play when Stefan Fouché, our editor of hunting, guns and ammunition, explored the world of crossbow-hunting with Seppie Cilliers. Read all about his challenge (p 42–45) as the shooting distances increased. Johan Smit was faced by a challenge of a different kind when the opportunity arose to hunt a crocodile. In “What lurks beneath ...” (p 57–59) he tells us about his passion and determination to
push himself to the limit and get better with each hunt.
