I would think that shooters going out and taking single deer would prove a very impractical way to reach target numbers. Now doing a game drive with capture nets as we do would mean they could take off large numbers in one day. Its even possible to herd just females or just males or family groups as you need.  But maybe its to cost restrictive to put these game capture units in place. I have to admit to not knowing the full extent of the problem, just what you hear on the news.The photo shows waterbuck being driven into a boma through capture nets, very effective.</blockquote>
