A good mix / ’n Goeie allegaartjie

Dis altyd goed om iets van alles te weet, dan kan jy saamgesels! Koop net hierdie maand se WILD & JAG!
Dié uitgawe het letterlik iets van alles met lekker jagstories, wildartikels, aktuele sake, hofuitsprake, produktoetse, rubrieke, veilingverslae en vele meer. Ek wil egter een aspek uitsonder – dit gaan oor soveel meer as die blote aksie van jag en wildboerdery, spesifiek om ’n verskil in die gemeenskap en bewaring te maak. Lees in dié verband HelpJag se artikel op bl 42, waarin hul lesers en jagters nooi om ’n verskil te maak deur honger kinders te help voed. Só ook maak wildboere ’n verskil in die gemeenskap, soos Wouter Maree in die Thaba Tholo-veilingverslag op bl 86 vertel. Op ’n ligter trant … in ons hoof-jagartikel – oftewel die “kuiertrippie” van die manne tydens die voorsitjag in die Karoo (bl 16) – vertel ons jagredakteur Stefan Fouché hoe vriendskapsbande in die jagveld gesmee word tydens die Molopo Jagtersgilde se jaarlikse uitstappie.
True to our vision, we bring you all you need to know before going on a hunting trip or if you simply want to expand your hunting gear. Stefan Fouché takes look at the superb A-Tec suppressors for hunting and shooting rifles and reports how the A-Tec Optima silencer has taken the world by storm since its launch last year (p 28). He also invited the people of Inyati Sporting Supplies on a pigeon shoot in the sunflower fields outside Settlers in Limpopo Province to test the Franchi Feeling shotgun (p 30). If you want to hunt antelope over long distances, the new Sako 85 Long Range in .300 Winchester Magnum or .338 Lapua Magnum is the answer. Read the article by Willem Botha of Skietwinkel (p 22) and also view this beauty on our cover.
