GENERAL

The game is of such a nature that it is relatively tame to the extent that they tolerate hikers and vehicles (Ideal for photographic safaris, conservation, learning etc) To replace this game and get it to breed naturally and establish itself will take approximately 20 years and the costs will be prohibitive i.e. the game is disease free and all game is settled for breeding naturally which is very unique and well established. Because of the natural breeding of game a selling or culling program has to be introduced. A culling program via hunting is well established and in place at present with just about every weekend booked for hunting. (As we are not totally in agreement with hunting (The agency and principles) a selling program would be advisable. This involves a different game capture scenario yearly. Experts can be consulted on this and all equipment is available.
