In “Our furry hunting friends”, Nico Kotzé brings tribute to all the loyal and brave hunting dogs he has had in his life – the best hunting companions one could wish for. He lives by the motto, “God gave us dogs to give us a glimpse of what unconditional love looks like.” Sonja Harmse of Muvhimi Buffalo Safaris shares this sentiment in her article about Todd Luttman and Anneline Pienaar of South Africa Tactical Training (previously K9 Tracking). They specialise in the tactical training of protection and working dogs and their dedication and professionalism are admirable. Cleve Cheney uses hunting and photography to get close to nature. “I can get as much satisfaction from ‘hunting’ with a camera than with a firearm and, in some respects, even more. Every time I photograph some facet of nature or wildlife, I have a ‘trophy’ to treasure and add to my collection.” Whether hunting with a rifle, bow or with the camera, it remains a privilege to immerse yourself in nature and all its wonders – something you should share with and pass on to future generations.
