Thread: want to buy some wild game

Yep meant to say that too

Unfortunately, technically it's illegal to sell, barter and depending on interpretation give away game under S23 of the Wildlife Act.

It's ridiculous but there you go.

Sale of game and sale of shooting rights prohibited

(1) Except with the prior consent of the Director-General, no person shall—

(a) Buy or sell any game or the eggs of any game:

(b) For sale or for hire, gain, or reward, or hope thereof, hunt or kill any game or have any game or the eggs of any game in his possession:

(c) Induce any other person to hunt or kill game for the purposes of sale or have any game or the eggs of any game in his possession for the purposes of sale:

Provided that it shall be lawful for any person, pursuant to the prior written authority of the Director-General, and subject to such conditions as may be prescribed therein, to propagate game or to buy or sell game held for the purpose of propagating game or reared pursuant to any such authority, or to take and sell or to buy the eggs of any game to which any such authority relates.
