Wild&Jag; / Game&Hunt; Magazine - August 2023

In this issue

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.
