Lessons in Dangerous Game – Fieldsports Africa, episode 3

FK – Empires, like lions, can go down fast once they’re past their prime. How long does this one have? There are so few men left that it can’t be long.

FK – Mine is larger and does have a change of clothing because I travel hundreds of miles on my ‘commutes.’ Cotton and modern textiles will rot off or wear out after weeks or months in the outback. My goal would be not just covering ground but finding food and shelter on a regular basis because I’m not a spring chicken any more and wouldn’t expect to get home quickly unless I could ‘acquire’ a couple horses or mules.

My pack is a surplus army in multicam with a frame because I can’t afford the over-priced civy stuff and my back can’t take not having real support anymore. If things are ‘that bad’ you’d want to avoid major highways and built up areas anyway and hope you can stay hidden from over-zealous land owners. Remember, possums are your friends.

If things were ‘bad enough’ the focus might not be on ‘getting home’ so much as thinking globally and acting locally. I’ll leave the rest up to your imagination.

FK – Looks like for big Ag like big Pharma we are their bottom line, their ‘human resources’ to be discarded once our usefulness has expired.

FK – I don’t blindly trust big ag but one wonders how many of these ‘activists’ have spent any time in the hot sun with a hoe.

FK – If we have to return to earlier agricultural practices we could use welfare recipients. Send them to Iowa and Illinois cornfields with a hoe and a wheelbarrow for cow manure.

BANNING HUNTING IS NOT THE ANSWER TO WILDLIFE CONSERVATION

For 10 years, Galana made profits from safari hunting based on sound conservation principles. Marty’s success gives meaning to the old rancher adage, “If it pays, it stays.”

Unfortunately, Marty and the other Kenyan hunter-conservationists ultimately lost out to so-called animal “welfare” activists. In May 1977, anti-hunters succeeded in banning all “legal” hunting in Kenya. Without hunting, wildlife on Galana ceased being an asset. Hunting had provided a major source of revenue for sustainable, profitable, private conservation, but without hunting, there were no revenues and no hunters or guides in the field to police against poaching. Not surprisingly, poachers slaughtered more than 5,000 of the 6,000 elephants Marty and his partners had conserved. Perhaps more importantly, hunting provided native people with incomes and with meat, giving them incentive to be part of the conservation effort. With wildlife all but gone, the government proposed in 2013 to put 1.2 million acres of the original ranch under irrigation, a project that will not be sustainable.

FK – This article seems incomplete but makes good points. Our society has become so pathetic that it’s men lack the gumption to even kill what they eat.

Here’s the book mentioned in the article:

Galana: Elephant, Game Domestication, and Cattle on a Kenya Ranch

And the Africans seem to be doing more damage to their wildlife than the trophy hunters.
