[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2089564, member: 101791"] Namibia is a poor country, and people don't have much. Weather is dry and water is limited. So farming is limited, and raising cattle is low at best. On the farm I hunted on which was about 40,000 acres only raised 500 head of cattle a year. Vail ranch in S. Cal. that was about 75,000 acres raised about 5000 head a year. So by hunters going over there, creates work for the people there, and the game doesn't go to waste either. It feeds a lot of people there. They manage there wildlife very closely. Several years ago in one of there wildlife protected ares, there was 3 black Rhino that were on there last leg. So permits were auction off. PETE out bidded everyone else for the tune of 1.5 million dollars. So the animals die, and nobody got feed. So the meat rotted. STUPID IS, STUPID DOES. [/QUOTE]
