A Word from the Editor

Q&A WARRANTIES

ONE MORE CRACK • The area that Pete and I planned to hunt had become something of a second home over the last five years

A TALE OF THREE 13S • I still have a clear mental image of the first big bull tahr I ever saw. He was doing that classic grizzly bear swagger through a snow patch, high above Adams Flat on the West Coast

A TROPHY FOR THE AGES • This year has been a real mental and physical battle, due to the fact that Lady Luck has refused to accompany me

Bushnell Live Animal Gallery

MILLIE'S FIRST YEAR • Having read countless hunting stories in magazines in the past, I finally convinced myself to put pen to paper.

THE WAITAHA AND MORE • I managed to convince a friend of mine, novice tramper and mother of three Haley, to join me as trip photographer for a week on the west side of the Alps

SOUTH AFRICA'S EASTERN CAPE • Hunting the Massive, the Medium and the Miniscule: Part II

Beretta Family Album

SAMI A CHANGE OF PACE PART 3 - INDICATING DOGS • The dawn was breaking as I angled up a bush face. I intended to sidle around into a gently sloping gully where deer often fed on their way to bedding down higher up for the day

INTRODUCTION TO BOWHUNTING • Bowhunting is something I think about every day and have done since I was a kid

PHOTOGRAPHING BIRDS • With our series on birds well established, I thought perhaps it’s time to give you some pointers on how you might photograph these birds. There is always a certain amount of down time on our hunting and fishing trips and sometimes it’s nice to do something different to break up the trip with a bit of diversification, so to speak. How about trying your hand at photographing birds next time you're out in the hills?

HARKNESS • The Hughes 500 powered through the Kawekas, weaving over valleys, crossing watersheds and a mountain range or two before turning on its side, rotor blades chopping through the air

HINDQUARTER BACKPACK

AGE THE Bull • This is the 24rd in our series of guess the age of the bull.

THE CALIFORNIA QUAIL • The California quail was introduced primarily as a game bird (very tasty indeed) to provide early settlers with sport

SIR ROBERT HUT remotehuts.co.nz • Sir Robert is one of the more remote huts on the Remote Huts website, and also one of the least frequently visited.

IS IT SAFE TO EAT? PART II • In this article I am going to talk about the heart, blood and blood vessels. This is called the circulatory system

THE MOBILE HUNTER • Simply said, as hunters we must all try to mitigate the risk of injury to ourselves. This isn’t just about planning where to go, carrying a first aid kit, a PLB or EPIRB, or even making choices about difficult animal recoveries, it is also about being prepared physically for the challenges that chasing game presents.

DUCK'N DONE, THE GIANTS ARE ON! IT MUST BE SPRING • I guess we all know that when closing day of duck season finishes up, everyone in the waterfowl community goes from stoked on life to…well…a little down about the long wait for May next year to roll around

SAKO 85 FINNLIGHT II IN 300 WSM • The Sako 85 has been around for quite a few years now, in fact we reviewed the first 85 Finnlight in the very first issue of the magazine back in 2007!

SIG SAUER KILO 3000 BDX 10X42 RANGEFINDING BINOCULARS • Here we have another product from the Sig Sauer BDX range (Ballistic Data Xchange)
