WILD & JAG is ’n onafhanklike maandelikse publikasie vir die breë wildbedryf in Suid-Afrika. Die hoofrolspelers in die wildbedryf, naamlik jagters, wildboere en natuurbewaarders word deur WILD & JAG bedien metgehalte informatiewe artikels en rubrieke oor fauna en flora; jag en wapens; wildproduksie en -bemarking; natuurbewaring en ekobestemmings. Die leser word ook op hoogte gehou van interessante bedryfsnuus –plaaslik en internasionaal.
Hoewel WILD & JAG nou saamwerk met die georganiseerde jagters-, wildproduksie- en natuurbewaringsorganisasies, is dit redaksioneel en finansieel onafhanklik.Alle kopiereg van die inhoud word voorbehou. Geen deel mag op enige wyse gereproduseer word sonder skriftelike toestemming van die uitgewer nie. Kort uittreksels (maksimum 60 woorde) mag sonder toestem-ming gebruik word, mits volledige erkenning aan die skrywer en die publikasienaam en -datum gegee word.

GAME & HUNT is an independent monthly publication for the broad game industry in South Africa. The main role-players in the game industry, namely hunters, game ranchers and nature conservationists are servedby GAME & HUNTwith quality informative articles and columns covering fauna and flora; hunting and arms; game production and marketing; nature conservation and eco-destinations. The reader is also kept informedof interesting industry news – locally and international.
While GAME & HUNT operates in close cooperation with organised hunters’, game production and nature conservation organisations, it is editorially and financially independent.Copyright of all content is reserved.

DRAKRAGMODEL BELANGRIK VIR BOERE ENJAGTERS
Die toepassing van realistiese drakragnorme (die hoeveel-heid weiveld per dier gebruik sonder om die weiveld oplang termyn te verswak) in ’n land met wisselvallige reënpa-trone en ’n verskeidenheid van weidingshabitatte, het dieveebedryf deur die jare in staat gestel om volhoubaar teproduseer en risiko’s op lang termyn te beperk. Die diver-siteit van plantvretende wild wat spesies, grootte en habi-tatvereistes betref, maak dit moeilik om soortgelykedrakragnorme as by vee van toepassing op wild te maak.
Die Sentrum vir Natuurlewebestuur van die Universiteit van Pretoria het ’nnavorsingsprogram geloods wat onder meer kyk na ’n alternatiewe drakragmodelvir wild, gegrond op die verandering in die monddele van diere namate liggaams-grootte toeneem, en die verband wat dit het met die bepaling van welkeplantspesies deur ’n spesifieke dier benut word. (Lees “Drakrag-dilemma” bls108.)
Om ’n sukses van hierdie navorsingsprojek te maak, verg die samewerking vanwildboere en jagters sodat genoegsame metings van die verskeidenheid plant-etende wildspesies se monddele verkry kan word.
Ons moedig graag wildboere en jagters aan om ook in hul eie belang hierdieinligting beskikbaar te help maak. Drakragnorme vir wild kan tot doeltreffenderproduksie bydra, met ’n groter waarborg van jaggeleenthede vir jagters en metbesliste voordele vir bodembewaring.
Samewerking deur die betrokke partye om ’n alternatiewe drakragmodel vir wilddaar te stel, sal nogeens die sinergie illustreer wat tussen wildproduksie, jag enbewaring bestaan.
CARRYING CAPACITY MODEL IMPORTANT TO FARMERS ANDHUNTERS
The application of realistic carrying capacity norms (the grazing area used peranimal without causing the grazing to deteriorate in the long term) in a countrywith unsteady rainfall patterns and diverse grazing habitats has enabled the live-stock industry to produce sustainably and limit risks in the long term over theyears. The diversity of herbivorous game animals with regard to species, size andhabitat requirements makes it difficult to apply similar carrying capacity norms togame as those used for livestock.
The Centre for Wildlife Management of the University of Pretoria launched aresearch programme that, among other things, looks at an alternative carryingcapacity model for game, based on the change in the mouth parts of animals asbody size increases, and its relation to determining which plant species areutilised by a specific animal. (Read “Drakrag-dilemma” p 108.)
To guarantee the success of this research project, the co-operation of gameranchers and hunters is required to ensure that sufficient measurements of themouth parts of the various herbivorous game species are obtained.
We wish to encourage game ranchers and hunters to help make this informationavailable as it will also serve their best interests. Carrying capacity norms forgame ranchers can contribute to more efficient production, resulting in a biggerguarantee of hunting opportunities for hunters and in definite benefits for soilconservation.
Co-operation by the parties involved to establish an alternative carrying capacitymodel for game will once again illustrate the synergy that exists between gameproduction, hunting and conservation.
