Winchester Model 70 – Regardless of thelegend that has built up around the pre-’64rifle, the new Model 70 is superior. It isbetter designed, very well made, and therifles have a much better shaped and fin-ished stock than previous models. See p 34.

’N JAAR VAN REKORDS
Die jaar 2014 het gewys watter dinamika daar nogin die wildbedryf is, met ’n ongelooflike toename van 82% in die omset vanwildveilings, van R1,029 miljard in 2013 tot R1,875 miljard in 2014. Dit ver-teenwoordig egter maar 30% van die totale verhandeling van wild.
Die verslag oor lewendewild-handel in 2014 van dr Flippie Cloete inhierdie uitgawe meld etlike verdere rekords wat aangeteken is:• Grootste getal amptelike wildveilings (83)• Grootste getal diere (28 733) op wildveilings aangebied• Die pryse van die meeste wildspesies op ’n historiese hoogtepunt, veral
gedurende die laaste paar maande• 36 Spesies behaal nuwe rekordpryse.
Dit is veelseggend dat die hoër pryse ten spyte van ’n hoër aanbodbehaal is. Die vraag is dus steeds sterker as die aanbod. Goeie genetikawas ’n aansporing vir kopers om ’n premie te betaal.
Wat kan in 2015 verwag word?Die eerste groot veiling vind reeds vroeg in Februarie plaas, met nog agt
veilings deur Vleissentraal alleen in Maart. Hulle het op hierdie stadiumreeds 76 veilings vir 2015 geskeduleer.
WILD & JAG het reeds ’n rekordgetal advertensies vir wildbemarking virJanuarie, Februarie en Maart 2015, wat verder bewys die wildbedryf is aandie kook!
Die polemiek oor prysbewegings hier teen die einde van die 2014-bemarkingseisoen het baie positiewe reaksies ontlok, met die meerderheidkommentaar dat daar steeds groot groeimoontlikhede is, maar nie ruimtevir spekulatiewe benaderings nie.
Dit wil voorkom of die groeiverwagtinge vir 2015 steeds positief is.
A YEAR OF RECORDS
The year 2014 clearly showed the dynamics of the wildlife industry, with anincredible increase of 82% in the turnover of game auctions, from R1,029billion in 2013 to R1,875 billion in 2014. However, that only represents 30%of the total game trade.
Dr Flippie Cloete’s article on live game trade in this edition, highlightseven more records that were achieved:• Highest number of official game auctions (83)• Highest number of animals (28 733) offered on auction• The prices of the majority of species at a historical high, especially dur-
ing the last couple of months• 36 Species fetched new record prices.
It is significant that the higher prices were achieved in spite of highersupplies. The demand is therefore still higher than the supply. Good genet-ics was an incentive for buyers to pay a premium.
What can we expect in 2015? The first big auction is being held as soon as early February, with another
eight auctions by Vleissentraal in March alone. At this stage, they havealready scheduled 76 auctions for the year.
GAME & HUNT already has a record number of advertisements forgame marketing in January, February and March 2015, even more proofthat the wildlife industry is sizzling hot!
The controversy around price movements towards the end of the 2014marketing season evoked a lot of positive reactions, with the majority ofcomments indicating that there was still room for growth, but not forspeculative approaches.
It would appear as if the growth expectations for 2015 are still positive.

WILD & JAG Februarie 2015 7
Twee bekende en gewilde tydskrifte in die
jag- en wildbedryf, WILD & JAG en
Africa’s Bowhunter, word nou uit dieselfde
stal bedryf. ’n Samewerkingsooreenkoms wat
onlangs tussen die twee partye bereik is,
maak beide hierdie titels nou deel van Jan
Louis Ondernemings.
Die samewerking beteken dat lesers
steeds artikels van hoë gehalte sal kan ge-
niet, en die samevoeging van bronne gaan
verseker dat kundige skrywers vir inligting
genader kan word.
WILD & JAG, die voorkeurtydskrif vir wild-
boere, jagters en bewaringsgeesdriftiges, het
onlangs sy twintigste bestaansjaar gevier, en
Africa’s Bowhunter bedien boogjagters,
boogskietliefhebbers en wildboere ook reeds
15 jaar lank. Jan van der Walt, besturende direkteur van Jan Louis Ondernemings,
meen hierdie stap hou groot voordele in. “Hoewel albei titels behoue bly en steeds op
hul onderskeie markte sal fokus, glo ons dat die nouer samewerking waarde vir adverteerders en lesers gaan bring. Ons is
lankal familie, ons het nou net onder een dak ingetrek,” het Van der Walt gesê.
Beide maandelikse tydskrifte geniet goeie ondersteuning van getroue lesers, en daar sal ook in die toekoms baie aandag
gegee word aan die vervulling van spesifieke behoeftes, wat deur kommunikasie met lesers geïdentifiseer word. Die
ooreenkoms is van 1 Januarie 2015 van krag.
