The problem with the industry is that we can’t keep up with the demand so there is an inconsistent supply of meat.” Van der Linde said that game meat was sold at below value prices because the industry lacked proper marketing. “Cattle and game produce the same amount of meat per hectare but the price for a beef carcass is double that of game. This is our own fault. The industry made a mistake previously to sell the meat cheaply.

Game meat is a niche product and should be treated accordingly. “We need an industry body that can market game meat and grow the industry, because individual farmers can’t do it themselves.” He added that farmers must not run to Europe with their meat, but rather tap into the local market.

But the industry is growing and there is still a lot of unexplored potential,” said Van der Linde. He advised farmers to acquire more rare game species to remain profitable. Game ranchers at the event were told to revamp the image of hunting as the industry was not rightfully recognised for the contribution it made to conservation.

Dr Philippe Chardonnet, director of the International Foundation for the Conservation of Wildlife, said, “Ranching makes a significant contribution to conservation. It also provides three times more jobs than livestock farms. This is the message that needs to be put forward.”.

I live in Alberta Canada and my favourite game meat is a young bull moose followed closely by a young bull elk. Another one that is surprisingly good is mountain lion ( cougar ) tastes just like a pork roast! The one that I least like is the pronghorn antelope, just something about the smell of them that turns my stomach. One of the things I am looking forward to the most is trying different game so fill me in on what you like the best and least!

Zebra is the best Burchells has yellow fat and Hartmans has white fat. On my first trip I insisted on trying everything. They told me they don't eat Zebra, on the last night I made them cook some up and they loved it. The next year when the family came over first night we had Zebra. It is a regional thing about it, in RSA lots won't try it but in Namibia they eat it all the time.

Eland, Kudo and Gemsbok are all great. The small antelope are like Pronghorn they take on the taste of what they eat, usually herbs and what not. Of the 2 Zebras I liked Hartmans better. My Buffalo was ok but very chewy. Medium Rare Buffalo Tenderloin is pretty damn good. Grass fed beef.
