GAME & HUNT APRIL 2020

of South Africa

Panthera leo leo, oftewel die Afrika-leeu wat vandeesmaand op ons jaarlikse

Big-game Edition se voorblad pryk, is die grootste roofdier in Afrika.

Prof J du P Bothma verduidelik op bl 70 waarom dié kat noodsaaklik vir die

behoud van ekostelsels is. Dis egter slegs moontlik as die leeus selfonderhoudend

is, soos byvoorbeeld die leeus in die Nasionale Krugerwildtuin. Die meeste leeus

wat gejag word, word aanvanklik in gevangeskap geteel en diereregte-aktiviste en

antijagters gebruik die term “geblikte jag” alte graag om die jagbedryf te diskrediteer.

So ook word die term “etiese jag” gebruik deur jagters wat voorstanders is

daarvan om slegs vrylopende leeus te jag.

Over the years, GAME & HUNT has published several lion hunt articles, but

not with the intention to dictate which type of lion hunt is ethical and which is not.

It always depends on the question “according to who?” We always tell the story

based on the experience of the hunter, so that other hunters and non-hunters

can decide for themselves. As this is our Big-game Edition, Stefan Fouché and

Ronald Nel returned to the red Kalahari sand for a next-level backpack hunt. Hunting

lion on foot, they carried all the necessary equipment in their backpacks. As

darkness fell, they only had the canvas of their tents separating them from Africa’s

most dangerous predators. Turn to p 22 and decide for yourself whether we hunt

for the sake of experiencing the hunt, or whether we hunt purely to shoot and kill

something. Scan the QR code or click on the link if you are a GAME & HUNT

DigiMag subscriber to watch a video of this hunt.

Nog ’n nuwe ervaring is om met ’n grootboor-swartkruitgeweer te jag. Die

moderne swartkruitgeweer is nog steeds ’n voorlaaier, al is dit nou in ’n breeknek-

.50-kaliber beskikbaar. Skandeer gerus die QR-kode op bl 34, of as jy ingeteken

is op GAME & HUNT DigiMag, klik net op die skakel om na die video te kyk waar

Christophe Roelofse vir Stefan Fouché op sy eerste swartkruitjagtog neem.

Op bl 54 vra ons vir Johannes Coertze van Formalito die ongemaklike vraag:

“Is Federal die nuwe PMP in SA?”, met verwysing na die Federal Fusion-reeks.

Dié reeks bekostigbare, doeltreffende, fabrieksgelaaide ammunisie sal in die boer,

jagter en sosiale skietgeesdriftige se individuele behoeftes voorsien en is tot in

.375 H&H beskikbaar.

The 2020 game auction calendar kicked off in February, with prices being

lower than in February 2019, but more in line with the average prices for the 2019

season. Compared to February 2019, 95% more animals were on offer. Dr Flippie

Cloete explains on p 74 that this can be ascribed to the use of technology such as

apps as marketing platforms. However, he says that an established brand name

and the quality of the animals are the factors that persuade users to utilise the

apps, rather than the accessibility of the apps.

April is weer tyd vir die WRSA Wildboer van die Jaar-toekenning. Ek het die

voorreg gehad om die broodnodige reën die skuld te gee ten einde ’n tweede keer

by George Potgieter van Schoongezicht Hunting Safaris in die Rooibokkraalomgewing

te gaan kuier. George is in 2018 as WRSA se wildboer van die jaar

aangewys en het hierdie gesogte toekenning in 2019 ontvang. Beter bekend as ’n

jagondernemer, het George sy passie vir jag in ’n boerdery omskep, wat ter wille

van volhoubaarheid nie net wild insluit nie, maar ook beeste, besproeiing en droëlandsaaiery.

Op bl 84 vertel George hoe ons ons persepsies sal moet verander.

Hy waarsku dat ’n jagter ’n buffelbul wil jag in plaas daarvan om dit bloot te skiet.

Wildboere en jagondernemers moet dus die buffels laat jag en nie net laat skiet

om van hulle ontslae te raak nie, anders gaan ons die plaaslike mark ook verloor.
