The AGRED Guide to Gamebird Management in South Africa
Die AGRED-gids tot Jagvoëlbestuur in Suid-Afrika

English and Afrikaans editions

AGRED’s new book by Aldo Berruti will available in late October. Ideal for gamebird hunters and landowners, it contains extensive new content and approaches to gamebird management based on AGRED’s research over the last 8 years. It also describes how to run shoots and shooting strategies for different gamebirds. This is a very affordable fine gift which promotes ethical and sustainable gamebird shooting based on wise management.

The book is 136 pages, beautifully-illustrated in full-colour with cartoons drawn by Doug Goode, and presented with a farmer-friendly perspective. It is practical, simply written, readily understood and explains how to become skilled at gamebird management.

The successful landowner must have multiple skills in order to be financially successful. The rich potential of gamebirds as an economic resource with social and conservation benefits is often unrecognised. The AGRED guide to Gamebird Management in South Africa is a detailed and practical guide to the management of gamebirds for landowners, especially farmers and game ranchers, as well as gamebird hunters.

The principles of sustainable and ethical hunting of gamebirds, simple conservation techniques and how to run a gamebird shoot are explained in language that is easy to understand and well illustrated.

By understanding gamebird biology and using simple management techniques, any farmer or game rancher can easily increase the numbers of gamebirds on their land with little additional cost and effort, and without compromising their primary farming activity. The result will be a boost to their income, highly enjoyable social interaction on gamebird shoots and enormous personal enjoyment, while maximising the potential of their land.



Die suksesvolle grondeienaar het verskeie vaardighede nodig om finansieel suksesvol te wees. Die ryk potensiaal van jagvoëls as 'n ekonomiese hulpbron met sosiale en omgewingsvoordele word dikwels nie raakgesien nie. Die AGRED-gids tot jagvoëlbestuur in Suid-Afrika is 'n gedetaileerde en praktiese gids tot die bestuur van jagvoëls vir grondeienaars, veral boere en wildbewaarders, sowel as vir voëljagters.

Die beginsels van die volhoubare en etiese jag van jagvoëls, eenvoudige bewaringstegnieke en hoe om 'n voëljagtog te bestuur, word op 'n maklike manier verduidelik en goed geïllustreer.

Deur die biologie van jagvoëls te verstaan en eenvoudige bestuurstegnieke te gebruik, kan enige boer of wildbewaarder met slegs 'n klein addisionele koste en moeite die aantal jagvoëls op hul grond vermeerder, sonder om hul primêre boerderyaktiwiteite prys te gee. Die resultaat is 'n verhoging van inkomste, 'n baie bevredigende sosiale ervaring tydens voëljagtogte en persoonlike genot, dit alles terwyl die potensiaal van hul grond aansienlik vermeerder.
