Hunting
Essential for wildlife management
Our lands are home to various wildlife including deer, elk, and bears. This provides locals and tourists with plenty of opportunities to observe and interact with the local ecosystem. It also offers hunters a place for responsible harvesting of large game.
Here are some reasons why it’s important:
Population Control
Hunting helps manage wildlife populations, preventing overpopulation of certain species like deer or elk. This prevents habitat degradation, overgrazing, and competition for resources, which can harm ecosystems and other species.
Predator Management
In areas where natural predators have declined, hunting can help maintain the balance of species. Controlling predator populations, such as coyotes or bears, can prevent them from overwhelming prey species.
Funding Conservation
Hunting licenses, fees, and taxes on hunting equipment generate significant revenue, which is often allocated to wildlife conservation programs. These funds help protect habitats, restore endangered species, and maintain ecosystems.
Preventing Disease Spread
Overpopulated wildlife can lead to the spread of diseases among animals, such as chronic wasting disease in deer. Hunting helps keep populations in check, reducing the risk of outbreaks.
Habitat Preservation
Hunters often advocate for land preservation to ensure healthy wildlife populations. This helps protect vast areas of land that support not only game animals but also a variety of other species.
Book a Hunt
DF Development makes our land available to responsible hunters through a partnership with Table Mountain Outfitters. Each year, the TMO team helps DF Development meet the needs of our hunting clients while supporting our goals of wildlife conservation and land stewardship.
