Wild&Jag; / Game&Hunt; - February 2017

في هذا العدد

ON THIS MONTH’S MENU
With 2017 already off to a good start, the GAME & HUNT team is hard at work to achieve the goals we have set for ourselves this year. It is important to us to provide our readers, including hunters, game ranchers and nature conservators, with sparkling new, topical and informative articles of high quality each month. We combine the contents of our magazine with audiovisual material that our readers can view on our website www.wildenjag.tv as well as on our Facebook page.
In this issue readers can, after having read Willem Botha’s article on his Hartmann mountain zebra hunt at Otterskloof, also view the video of the hunt. Similarly, they can read Stefan Fouché’s buffalo hunt article and then enjoy the accompanying video. Laurence Jennings also writes about his oribi hunt and Jokl le Roux explains how to hunt a warthog. For the South African and Namibian field target shooting calendars, as well as the Basa shoot calendar, turn to pp 24, 26 and 86.
In his article, “Live-wildlife trade outlook: 2017–2018” (p 100), Dr Flippie Cloete poses the question whether investors still find the game industry attractive. Richard Downing discusses the many facets of hijacking in his article, “Kan die wildbedryf gekaap word?” (p 106). In his regular column, Prof Koos Bothma looks at intensive game farming, this time focusing on the sensitive black rhino (p 122). Should all this information make your head spin, turn to “In Gesprek Met” and read how Tollie Jordaan converted his cattle farm into a game farm.
