Wild&Jag; / Game&Hunt; - October 2022

I dette nummeret

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).
