De Dam Capture Net

Easy | Reliable | Cost Effective

It was the cost of capturing game that set Steytlerville game farmer Haydn Krige on a mission to find a cost effective-solution to the problem. In the process, he unwittingly created a sensational passive game capture system that is a first in South Africa and is making enormous waves in the industry.

‘Under normal circumstances, a game farmer would need a qualified vet, expensive drugs and a helicopter to perform the task. That is not a cheap exercise and it becomes a problem for smaller game farmers who may only need to capture a few smaller buck whose commercial value would not warrant the costs of hiring a vet and a helicopter.’

How De Dam Capture Net Works

{

The system is really very easy to operate since the net comes packaged with all the functional parts including a manual and can be assembled on site.

{

The four metal posts are positioned in the suitable capture area and the net is spanned over the space with the help of a guide rope and attaching mechanisms.

{

We have a magnum net that is exactly the same as the standard net as it is also 7x7m² and the squares are 150 x 150mm which can also be used on larger animals.

{

This passive capture method works very well with game that are used to being fed. It would not be practical for capturing free ranging herds.

{

Passive capture like this requires a slightly different category of sedative drugs which can be administered by game farmers with the guidance and advice of vets.

‘In essence, it puts the farmer back in control of his operations. He can plan and execute his management in his own time and can select his own choice of specimen when it suits them best.
