’N BESIGE SES MAANDE
Met die jaar al by die halfpadmerk, kyk ons terug oor ’n besige tyd en is dankbaar vir die reën wat tydens die somermaande geval het, veral die Wes-Kaap se broodnodige winterreëns. Ons jagredakteur Stefan Fouché het in die Deurmekaar Kalahari in die suide van Namibië gaan kuier, waar hy baie mooi springbokke gejag het. Blaai na bl 40 om dié jag mee te maak. Die WILD & JAG-span het die prestige-gebeurtenis van die jaar op die SA Jaggeweerskietvereniging se veldskietkalender in Montagu in die Wes-Kaap bygewoon, waar die Top 50, asook die SA Ope plaasgevind het. Die uitslae verskyn op bl 78. Om ’n kameelperd suksesvol met ’n boog te jag is seker een van die grootste jaguitdagings. Ons deel Steven Schwartz se kameelperd-jagervaring met lesers op bl 68...

We receive great articles every month, but every now and again we get that special one that tugs at the heartstrings. “How to make a dad cry…” tells how Mark van der Linde goes out of his way to make it possible for his son, Connor, who suffers from a debilitating physical condition, to realise his dream of hunting. This brave boy has the heart of a real hunter indeed – an example to all hunters out there.  Laurence Jennings travelled all the way to the Stormberg mountains in the Eastern Cape where he harvested a magnificent blue eland bull with a neck the size of an oil drum – a once-in-a-lifetime trophy hunted in a very special place with very special people. Read all about it in “Eland hunting – the sleeping giants of the Stormberg mountains”. If the eland is on your hunting list, make sure to read Prof J du P Bothma’s insightful article on the species. Two other great hunting stories not to be missed are “The real Midlands Meander – a reedbuck odyssey” by Michael Vigne and adventure bowhunter Tom Miranda’s “Old-world deer”.

Hunters are a breed apart. They love the smell of gun oil and the wet earth after the rain, the calmness and clarity brought about by being alone in the bush, and, of course, a good challenge and the thrill of the chase.  Another trait they share is courage, even when the odds are stacked against them, like facing down a buffalo charge, knowing there can only be one victor. Levi Hill and his father, Buddy, went on a buffalo hunt with an unexpected outcome – and lived to tell the tale. But it is not only the men who show their mettle. Huntresses are every bit as brave, no matter their age. At only 14 years old, Andrea Eggers realised her dream of hunting her first buffalo bull after winning the Rhino Bullets and Lowveld Hunters hunting competition. Tamlyn van Wyk challenged Africa’s Black Death on its own turf, using her own reloaded bullets for the first time to bring down a trophy bull – no mean feat since she only had two weeks to learn how to reload. 

For American hunter Michael Arnold, it was “love at first sight” when he saw a photo of the vaal rhebok for the first time. This was the very first African animal he wished to hunt, causing his astonished PH to call him his “strangest client”. Adventure Bowhunter Tom Miranda faced a monumental challenge by hunting an elephant with a bow and arrow in Zimbabwe, describing it as “the ultimate bowhunting challenge”. “Stepping into bow range of a wild African bull elephant brings on a reality that cannot be found in stories or photos.” And from the big to the small… For LD Jennings, it is the common impala that causes the adrenaline to surge through his veins. He has a passion for hunting this dainty antelope, especially during the rutting season. If the impala is on your hunting list, Prof J du P Bothma’s insightful article is a must-read.

Levi Hill braved Africa’s Black Death and hunted his first buffalo bull – a nerve-racking experience as the hunting party was charged by a buffalo herd and lived to tell the tale. And if you don’t need to save your bacon with a serious calibre but must hunt food to survive, what firearm would be best? The humble air rifle, of course. Cleve Cheney explains why in “Firearms for survival” . Moving from the bush to the fishing waters... LD Jennings loves carp fishing on the Vaal River. Sharing this passion with his family and teaching his kids to fish and appreciate nature is what it is all about for him . Many a hunter dreams about hunting a buffalo one day. For anglers, the equivalent to this probably is doing battle with a billfish on the big blue. For Stefan Fouché, it was indeed a dream come true when he won an epic fight with a magnificent black marlin of 250-300 lbs off the coast of Vilanculos, Mozambique. That same day, he watched the Bokke win the fourth Rugby World Cup. In his own words, “that really qualifies for the trip-of-a-lifetime award!”.

Our Christmas issue promises to keep you glued to your armchair or camping stool this holiday with a selection of articles on hunting, the game and hospitality industry and hunting- and shooting-related products. Also keep an eye out for the Christmas specials offered by our advertisers – there is still time for some last-minute shopping to surprise your loved one with a special gift under the tree. Of course there is also nothing wrong with spoiling yourself!

Of course, you also have our hunting and conservation articles to enjoy when relaxing with a cuppa or something with a little more kick. In “North-West buck and wildebeest”, Daniel Lawson-Smith shares his memories of a special family hunt as a young boy, while PH Andrea Potgieter tells us about an unforgettable hunt guiding US clients in Limpopo. Nico Kotzé and his fiancé continue their hunting adventure in the scenic south-western Free State, and Johan Smit of HunTech Pro writes about a memorable hunt with Mike Austin of the US company Treezyn. Something else to look forward to is the approaching festive season and some quality time with loved ones. Spare yourself the last-minute rush to buy Christmas presents – we bring you a selection of irresistible gifts, ranging from hunting and outdoor accessories to Dr Paul Booyens’s new book, Released: Captive-bred to Truly Wild. You can even think out of the box and buy your loved one some shares in Royal Bhejane, thereby also giving the gift of life by helping protect our endangered rhinos. To find all the details you need, download the prospectus from their website at www.royalbhejane.com.

It is the time of year when many hunters have already successfully tracked down their quarry and have the trophy on the wall and the biltong in the pantry – and we have their stories to share with you.
The Kalahari has a way of luring back hunters to its endless sea of dunes and the creatures that live there. Seasoned bowhunter Tom Miranda fell under its spell and braved the harsh landscape to hunt a special quarry – the golden oryx. Read all about it in “Stalking the wilds of the Kalahari” (p 30). Also make sure to read Prof J du P Bothma’s informative article on the remarkable oryx on p 68. Another avid bowhunter, Johan Smit, got US-based TriplePoint Outdoors on board for Season 4 of HunTech Pro and tells us about their visit to South Africa to test their ClovisTM mechanical broadhead.
They hunted the Free State, successfully taking a roan antelope, Ankole-Watusi bull, kudu and buffalo (p 50). Heinz Grobler realised a lifelong dream by hunting an old dagga boy with his Rigby rifle (p 10), while LD Jennings travelled all the way to Utah, USA, to hunt a Rocky Mountain bull elk – an unforgettable experience (p 34).

Women hunters are caring and compassionate. For the third consecutive year, Damesjag donated the venison from their hunt to HelpJag, providing healthy protein to needy families . PinkHunt also organises an annual hunt during which a group of ladies harvest wholesome meat for their families and forge new friendships through their shared passion for hunting. We also bring you many other stories of successful huntresses, too many to mention here.  May you and the special lady in your life share many more memorable hunts!

Bowhunters will enjoy Tom Miranda’s article on the magic of hunting from a tree-stand in Africa, which puts the bush in a whole new perspective (“Silent safari”). For Bryan Betton, it was a dream come true when he hunted his first elephant in Zimbabwe. While out on that special hunt, guided by a PH to whom we entrust our lives, we do not always realise what it takes to become a PH. Johan Smit of HunTech Pro decided to find out by enrolling for the PH course with Sutherland Hunting Academy – and passed with flying colours. Well done, Johan!
In the market for a new riflescope? We bring you a feature on ZEISS’s first-focal-plain scopes for long-range precision shooting and hunting. Christophe Roelofse also reviews the D42HV56WFIMA tactical scope from March Scopes, hand-built by Japanese craftsmen. Hunting outfitters and game farm and lodge owners will benefit from Fiona Kruger’s valuable advice on how to effectively market their enterprise locally and abroad in a very competitive field. They should also make sure to read Cleve Cheney’s article “Alternative energy for game farms, lodges and hunting camps” on how to cope with our country’s electricity crisis. 

In “A close shave with death” (p 60), Namibian-based PH Steve Tors shares the story of a leopard hunt that almost ended in tragedy. However, it is not just claws, fangs and horns that pose a danger in the hunting field but also the smaller critters. Cleve Cheney explains in “A sting in the tail” (p 44) that a sting from a venomous scorpion may not only be extremely painful but also fatal. He gives valuable advice on how to avoid them and what to do if you are stung. On the auction front, Dr Flippie Cloete reports that activity in the live game-trade segment continues to be robust, with prices remaining at higher levels thanks to the strong demand from the hunting industry (p 74). Brandon van Zyl explains the importance of introducing new genetics on your game farm to ensure top-quality animals for the auction pens and the hunting field (p 76).

As always, we bring you a selection of fine hunting stories. According to American bowhunter Tom Miranda, Africa has become the most popular international bowhunting destination. “Of all the animals a bowhunter can pursue in Africa, the bushbuck is the
most like a white-tail,” Tom says. He hunted one near Cape Town and shares his adventure in “The bushbuck – Africa’s white-tail” (p 22). To balance the scale, local bowhunter Johan Smit of HunTech Pro realised a life-long dream when he was invited to bowhunt
white-tailed deer in America. Make sure to read “Velvet buck in Kentucky, USA.

Every very now and then, life sends something your way that forces you to sit up and
take notice. For me, that “something” was Jim Rice’s article, “Fulfilling dreams in
the Free State” on p 24 of this issue. Thanks to an old friend’s valuable advice, Jim
realised his dream and started hunting in Africa after putting it off for many years. In Jim’s
own words: “What my friend meant was, if hunting is your passion and hunting a particular
animal or in a particular part of the world is a lifelong dream, you can make that dream a
reality. It’s better to pursue your dream, no matter the cost, than to give up on it, only to regret
it later when you are physically unable to do it … Many times, we have only a window
of opportunity to achieve our dream. If we miss that window, the dream is gone forever.”
Truer words were never spoken!
Brandon van Zyl also shares valuable advice with all role players in the wildlife industry
in his article “The importance of knowledge in wildlife management” (p 80): “Those involved
in the wildlife sector need to be open-minded. Every day gives us a new opportunity
to learn and adapt. Therefore, knowledge is the key to success. We must just be willing to
grasp it every time we get a chance.”

In this issue, we focus on rhinos and their conservation at a time when poaching
is threatening their survival. A heartwarming story unfolds in Carola Oelofse’s article
“Mount Etjo Rhino Orphanage – every little life matters” (p 10). She tells the story of
Annette Oelofse, a remarkable woman who has been raising orphaned black and
white rhinos at her rhino orphanage in Namibia for the past 30 years. In our species
feature, regular contributor Prof J du P Bothma provides detailed information on the
southern white rhino (p 72). Darrel Sterling ended up on the wrong side of an enraged
2 000 lbs rhino bull on a green hunt – and lived to tell the tale! He shares this close
encounter with us in “Rhino charge!” (p 54). Coenie Meyer got the opportunity to
hunt a problem rhino bull, something he regards as a great privilege and a humbling
experience (p 32).

As we focus on the African rainforests this month, we could not resist the temptation to publish an article about a very cool custom gun – the CZ Rainforest. The brainchild of our own hunting editor, Stefan Fouché, the CZ was developed during long hours around campfires, sipping good whisky, and in Ruark’s Trading Post, the in-store deli of our local Safari Outdoor gun shop that serves some of the best coffee in Pretoria. The rest of the CZ team consist of Hancke Hudson, who has almost a quarter of a century’s hunting experience all over Africa, especially the dense Cameroon rainforests, and Jaco van Vuuren, master gun builder and co-owner of Morkel & Crouse Riflemakers. Stefan describes the CZ Rainforest as “a reliable, straightforward working rifle … the ultimate setup for hunting dangerous game in the densest, most extreme conditions, and that with the utmost confidence”. Well done, CZ team!
Hancke shares his rainforest hunting adventures with us in “Hunting the forest dwarf buffalo” and “Hunting the bongo”. He also guided American client Cynthie Fisher on a tough bongo hunt in Cameroon. On this hunt, she also took a blue duiker, a Peter’s duiker, a forest sitatunga and a red river hog. Read all about it in “Challenges in Cameroon” .
Over the past 27 years, André Roux has regularly hunted eland in many different parts of Africa. He says the best eland hunting he has ever done undoubtedly was in the Central African Republic, describing it as “eland hunting in its purest form”. In “Hunting eland” , he gives valuable advice on hunting these big antelope, saying their behaviour is pretty much the same everywhere. 

Nico Kotzé must be holding the record for one of the longest hunting trips ever. While capturing game in the Limpopo Valley, a 21-day national Covid lockdown was announced. But things turned out differently and 21 days slowly became 46. It was a life-changing ex- perience as he was all alone and could not only hunt and fish but also do some serious introspection. Read all about it in “Hunting the Limpopo Valley – 46 days in isolation” (bl 10).
Are you a firearm owner? If so, do not miss Martin Hood’s article on the transport of firearms (p 66). Also make sure to read part 2 of Christophe Roelofse’s article “Self-defence matrix” (p 54).

We are kicking off the year with a few great hunting articles for those suffering from withdrawal symptoms, as the next hunting season is still a few months away. Our hunting editor, Stefan Fouché, braved Africa’s Black Death and took a magnificent old buffalo bull in the Caprivi in Namibia – a humbling experience that will remain with him for the rest of his life. Read all about it in “Another dagga boy in the Caprivi” . . .”  For Wynand Jacobs, it was a dream come true when he won the 777 Hunting Competition, the largest of its kind ever in South Africa. Wynand’s prize included a seven-day hunt for seven trophy animals at Schoongezicht Hunting Safaris – a buffalo, sable antelope, roan antelope, kudu, eland, waterbuck and a golden gnu. Read more and share his adventure. Nico Kotzé went after fallow deer in the picturesque Wittkoppe mountains of the Free State, while LD Jennings explains why wingshooting over dogs can be just as exhilarating and rewarding as going after the dangerous stuff . If you are getting a bit “long in the tooth”, don’t despair; there is still hope. PH Andrea Potgieter guided an 80-year-old client from Denmark on a successful hunt, and he hopes to return for a buffalo!


As part of a radical generational upgrade of its centerfire rifle product line, CZ is proud to introduce the new CZ 600 series. Its unique, highly modular design comes with a number of patented features that improve all key characteristics. This month we focus on the CZ 600 ERGO and CZ 600 LUX. 
“To use, or not to use your firearm in self-defence. That is NOT the question!” But rather, the degree of deployment or “the restraint of firearm use”. In the context of this article we focus on “the use of your section 13 firearm” for self-defence

With a two-year live auction break due to Covid-19, it was heart-warming to experience true Karoo hospitality again when I attended the 7th annual Summit Wildlife Auction near Graaff-Reinet recently. Although auction apps and telephone bidding are the norm these days, this auction will always stand out as a community-orientated event known for its top genetics and high prices. This year was no exception. People not only reached deep into their pockets to acquire top genetics but also to help those in need. R70 400 was raised for the Summit Wildlife charities and R35 000 for HelpJag. Well done to all those involved! Read the full story. As of late, there has been great controversy regarding the fundamental question, “Can you use a Section 16 firearm for self-defence?” Christophe Roelofse tackles this complex issue head-on. He also reviews a few must-have hunting accessories, such as Steiner’s Ranger 4 6-24×56 hunting scope and Ranger LRF 10×42 binoculars, as well as Wheeler’s F.A.T. Stix torque stix wrench set.

The Kalahari has a way of casting its spell on hunters, drawing them back with its vastness,
red dunes and stillness. It is a place close to the heart of our hunting editor, Stefan Fouché,
who took on the challenge of hunting a lioness on foot there among tall grass and dense bush
in wet conditions. Read all about it in “Summer Kalahari lion hunt” on p 26. The Kalahari has
also captivated Nico Kotzé, who went hunting with friends in the red dunes of the Namibian
Kalahari, taking oryx and springbuck (p 16). For Johan Smit of HunTech Pro, a lifelong dream
came true when Jacus Visagie of Kalahari Kaya Safaris gave him the opportunity to hunt
a roan antelope bull (p 54).
On the competition front, we report on the 10th MASTERSHOT® Shooting Day (p 38) and the
ELRSLP Open Invitation (p 60). In the market for rifles and shooting accessories? Make sure to
read “Bakgat” (p 46) and “Browning X-Bolt Hell’s Canyon Long-Range rifle” (p 8). This month we
also bring you a new series by Paul Booyens and HO de Waal on a very controversial subject –
the captive breeding of lions (p 40).

Dit is die vierde jaar dat ons ‘n spesiale uitgawe aan vroue wy. Dit verklaar natuurlik die pienk tema wat ’n tikkie sjiek vroulikheid aan talle bladsye verleen danksy ons kreatiewe uitlegkunstenaar Christine Bothma wat op die foto hieronder verskyn.
Die skone geslag is lankal nie meer net tuisteskeppers nie. Hulle is deesdae supervroue wat ’n voltydse beroep beoefen, tuisonderrig gee, sorg dat die huis skoon en die mae vol bly, dat Wagter gebad word en dat manlief en die kinders ekstra bederf word as hulle verjaar. Tyd vir ontspanning moet daar egter ook wees – vir sommige vroue is dit ’n pamperlangsessie by die spa, vir ander ’n jagdag in die bos op soek na daardie bok en die vrede en stilte wat slegs die natuur jou kan gee.
Some women, like Andrea Potgieter, love hunting so much that they make a career of it. A qualified PH, Andrea guided clients on a successful six-week hunt at Unzwa Safaris in Limpopo. Parents often instil a passion for hunting and nature in their children. LD Jennings is a perfect example. His young daughter, Lumari, always accompanies him when hunting or driving around in the bush. The day she shot her first buck was one of the proudest moments of his life.
Given their smaller build, women have different requirements to men regarding firearms. Nico Roets gives valuable advice to the ladies about correct calibre choice and other important aspects. In his regular column Bakgat, Christophe Roelofse reviews the CJR XR ELRS action as well as Benelli’s Lupo rifle that features on this month’s cover.
Een van die dames wat in vandeesmaand se Jagfotogalery verskyn, is die gelukkige wenner van ’n BOKSAK-karkassak wat spesiaal deur BOKSAK vir ons vroue-uitgawe geskenk is. Die wenner sal in volgende maand se uitgawe aangekondig word.
Lekker lees en onthou – agter elke man staan ’n spesiale vrou wat verdien om bederf te word!

or most of us with an average income, a buffalo hunt will remain on the wish list. However, we can still share in the thrill of challenging and taking down Africa’s Black Death through the stories written by the lucky few who have had this privilege. In this issue, we bring you a few of these buffalo hunting adventures.
LD Jennings is a privileged hunter indeed. He shot not just one but two Cape buffalo bulls on the same hunt, although the second one was taken unintentionally. It was one of his best hunts ever, which he describes as follows: “This is what Boddington and Flack spoke about in their books, this feeling in this moment, standing there in the bushveld next to Africa’s Black Death.” Read all about it in “Buffalo hunting in the western Bushveld”.
In “Buffalo hunt for the books”, Dempsey Bayly shares the story of White Gap, an old dagga boy that gave the hunting party a run for their money and caused some nail-biting moments! Hunting a buffalo with a bow and arrow is not for the faint-hearted. Danie Geel braved Africa’s Black Death with a bow and arrow and gives advice on the bow-and-arrow set-up to take down this tenacious beast. Also make sure to read Prof J du P Bothma’s insightful article on the early origins and other features of the buffalo.
In “The truth behind the hunting value of animals”, Brandon van Zyl writes that the demand for hunting in Africa seems to be at an all-time high and that we can expect a rise in the prices of huntable species. This bodes well for the hunting and game-breeding industry.
