I would think that hauling the venison across international boundaries would be an issue. While we do have our share here in the US of 500 acre game ranches, those are few and far between compared to the large operations. And hunting a 10,000 acre spread is the same degree of difficulty as some wild area. In the US, state game lands are few and far between compared to 40 years ago. And those areas that are open look like the damned Normandy invasion on opening day. It sounds like Canada is pretty much like the US was 40 or 50 years ago. But if our experience here is any indicator, that is going to change. The government can make money by auctioning off hunting rights. Private landowners can do the same. Alaska is a good example. Low population, huge state. But the state auctions off rights to guides, and good luck to the out of state hunter going there without paying up. There may not be fences there, but the economics of a hunt there is a more effective barrier than a fence. A brown bear hunt in Alaska for 10 to 14 days is the same price or even a bit more than a 14 day hunt in Africa. |
