Wild&Jag; / Game&Hunt; - September 2024

この号では

Women are pulling their weight in so many spheres of modern-day society, both at home and in a professional capacity. And when it comes to hunting, many share this passion with the men. Andrea Potgieter of Pink Impala, a qualified PH, loves hunting so much that she made it her career, while Jo-Anne van Niekerk started her own business, Forever Africa Taxidermy. And there are many other ladies like them. Some women prefer joining their family on a hunt – a special time spent together while creating precious memories. And what father would not be proud of his daughter becoming a budding huntress? Lumari Jennings, daughter of regular contributor Laurence Jennings, tells us about a challenging blesbuck hunt in “The one that almost got away…”. Laurence believes it is every hunter’s duty to protect and promote the sport of hunting. He did just that by taking Andriette Killian on her first-ever hunt. Not sure whether she would like hunting, she now cannot wait for the next time! Women who love hunting enjoy doing it together. Every year, pinkHunt organises a hunt during which a group of ladies harvest wholesome venison for their families and forge new friendships through their shared passion for hunting. This year was no exception. Elke de Witt shares this special hunt with readers in “pinkHunt in die Bo-Karoo”. Hunting has many wonderful facets. Cleve Cheney tells us about the magic of the campfire – a place to enjoy simple things that are often taken for granted.
