Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Africa 18 days in Namibia

Wildlife is privately owned not public. Some ranchers choose not to have wildlife because it completes with domestic stock and is harder to turn into a cash crop. Others consider wildlife part of a diversified plan. In drought years when domestic stock can't be raised the native animals do better and offer at least some income. It is hard country and having options is a good thing. Also wild game is more leopard proof than cattle. Of course being wild they can leave at anytime but like anywhere good habitat holds game.
