Foreword of the founder Fellow hunters, I suppose you all felt the sting of the Cecil drama?

Independently of what the real facts are, we know that the media and the Zimbabwean government collaborated to make the hunters community look like criminals. Worse the airlines, which we have all supported with our travel to our elected hunting and fishing destinations, announced what were initially complete bans on the transport of trophy cargo. Fortunately some of our associations were quick in reacting and avoid a total stop on trophy shipments, but make no mistake the pressure of environmentalist on the airlines has been of such intensity that a normal service will never revert anymore. Safari Club International informs of some private initiatives to ship trophies from South Africa and Namibia which represent a valuable and enormous load of trophy cargo, but this should not be the norm! Hence I am pleading as many times before to join forces in genuine associations that are able as part of a larger structure to let the voice of 52 million hunters and 150 million fishermen to be heard on the international scene.

The same international support is needed for rhino poaching in Southern Africa.

I have personally be confronted with the problem as the proud owner of 18 black rhino’s. for the first time in Namibia, we were confronted this year with the intrusion of Chinese sponsored foreign poachers and at time of writing 68 rhinos have been poached in Namibia. Black rhinos are coming back from near extinction and through an active breeding program organized by the private sector with the government, numbers have grown back steadily. Unfortunately governments have not reacted

adequately and a lot of private initiatives have emerged which do not always bring solutions to the governmental inertia. Anti-poaching units, patrolling drones and the use of weapons are all touchy subjects for young African democracies to handle and definitely some foreign unbiased expertise would be valuable to eradicate the problem.

The next Cites Convention in Johannesburg September 2016 will be pivotal to the future of international hunting especially for the Big Five. Without the hunters and hunting, these animals could be illegally poached into extinction by human neglect.

Again I plead for a strong voice of our community.

In 1975 the South African governments decided to give the ownership of the game to the owners of the property they were on. Since wildlife has grown tenfold! Why? The owners were interested in the progress of their game as they could with good management make it a profitable and sustainable business proposition. Nowhere else in the world have we seen such a growth rate for game!

All this to tell you my dear fellow hunter and fisherman that our passion is making this nature thrive, but to achieve this goal we have to put our money where our mouth is and actively contribute and support the people that are defending our fundamental rights to freedom out there‌ Bruno van Marcke

The BROWNING B525 shotgun is already appriciated for its numerous qaulities by over a million hunters, and especially for its unmatched sturdiness in the field.

In collaboration with Magic Safari Lodges, Browning created the Browning partner lodges where you will be able to use our shotguns and rifles in France and in Spain.

Several B525, Maxus, A5 shot guns and X bolt rifles will be available on each location.

This free service, which offers hunters an opportunity of hunting with these shotguns and rifles and also enables to avoid all the problems and unpleasant surprises liable to occur when transporting firearms by air.

Unique in Europe, Sabournac is a private estate which has been organizing mallard duck hunting for 25 years. This hunt both surprises and appeals to hunters who like to shoot several hundred cartridges at high flying mallards.

Sabournac offers only high quality, exclusive hunting organized and customized to meet your specific demands. The hunting estate is open from the first September to January 31 and can be booked for a private hunting trip of 2 to 8 hunters.

As a “Browning Partner Lodges�, several guns are available on the estate. This free service provides an opportunity to shoot with topquality shotguns, as well as to avoid the hassle of travelling by air with a gun. Winchester cartridges are available on site for 12, 16 and 20 bore guns.

The red-legged partridge is a endemic to Spain considered the most sporting and challenging bird in the world?by hunters due to its beauty, audacity and fast and erratic flight. The driven partridge shoot is a shooting style with a long and deeply rooted tradition in Spain, which allows the hunter to enjoy the red-legged partridge in a far more challenging way, since the speed and height reached are unbeatable, putting more than one expert wing shooter to the test.

Our shoots are some of the best and most famous in the country.

Groups of 3 to 10 guns usually bag around 1,000 birds per day or even double that amount depending on their shooting skills.

The estate is 60 km Est from Toulouse International Airport with direct flights from most European capitals and 25 km from CastresMazamet Airport where all private planes can land.

Thanks to the wide range of estates we manage and their diverse and beautiful landscapes we are able to offer some of the most spectacular and challenging drives to be found in Spain. Featuring birds with fast and erratic flight, both low and high flying, we can offer drives that allow hunters to enjoy very varied and challenging shoots.

Rangefinders and riflescopes for most demanding situations.

My passion for wildlife has come very early on and I knew since my childhood I would spend my life here in the Scottish Highlands. For the last 25 years I’m a professional wildlife manager and head game keeper at the Ardnamunchan Estates located in the West coast of Scotland. As a member of the Scottish Natural Heritage Transitional Deer Panel I enjoy very much to share my experience of deer management in the West Highland Hunting with clients from all around the world.

Based on my experience I am aware of the importance of the perfect equipment for a successful hunt. Therefore I rely on my Leica Geovid HD-B and Leica Magnus riflescope – both are excellent tools and provide years of high performance.

Murtoli

Great Spanish Hunts

At the southern tip of Corsica, between the sea and the mountains, lies an immense estate in the heart of a valley carved by the Ortolo River. Its name is Murtoli, a secret destination whispered about by those in the know. The Murtoli Estate offers many inviting coves and an endless white sand beach that stretches over a dozen kilometers along the Mediterranean Sea, a true paradise.

GSH is a Spanish company with over 35 years experience organizing world-class hunting trips. They are specialized in red-legged partridge shoots, “montería” and in high mountain stalking in Spain and Europe.

An Exceptional Hunting Ground The Ortolo Estate offers an exceptional hunting ground boasting two thousand hectares of well-preserved ecosystem with a widely varying landscape featuring mountains, forests and brush interspersed with prairies and swampland. Some fields are farmed and sown with grain, providing welcome feed for wild game, and the olive groves are kept invitingly free of undergrowth.

Wild boar is the big game here and is hunted in the traditional beating method, with a pack of hounds and beaters, or from a hide early in the season.

To be expierenced! www.murtoli.com

This company prides itself in their ethics and professional approach to hunt organization, as well as in offering a world- class service and total client satisfaction.

Spain is a unique destination for mountain hunting enthusiasts, offering 7 endemic Capra species: 4 Spanish ibex sub species ( Beceite, Gredos, Southeastern and Ronda ibex), 2 species of chamois: Pyrenean and Cantabrian, and Mallorcan goat and also two Ovis species: Barbary sheep and mouflon.

In addition, its permanently sunny and warm climate allows for year-round pleasant hunting.

Their driven hunts or “monterias” are world-class featuring 5 to 25 hunters which may shoot each 2 to 3 trophies per day.

France Safaris

WildHunting Company

Domaine de Laplanque, managed by France Safaris, is located in the south of France. The property is varied, mountainous and wild.

This estate has acquired an international reputation because of its exceptional and very large trophies of red deer, fallow deer and mouflon sheep.

Roebuck, sika deer and large wild boar can also be hunted here.

Hunting is done solely by stalking or from hides.

The estate is reserved exclusively for one hunter, whether accompanied or not.

The Roques-Rogery family, owners of this lovely estate since the 13th century, are delighted to welcome guests to their château with friendliness, all desired comforts and refined French cuisine.

WildHunting in Turkey is owned and managed by the Ekenler Family and currently run by two brothers, Kürsat and Temir. They are both extremely keen young hunters and have hunted extensively throughout Turkey and abroad.

A superb hunting destination, in very pleasant surroundings, for outstanding trophies!

www.francedafaris.com

The Ekenler family has been landowners in Tarsus, Cukurova area for more than 300 years.

Hunting is a family tradition, proudly passed from father to son and finally to us. We have always had a passion for the wild; this has been supported by their father who took Temir and Kürsat with him to many hunts all over the world. With some of the world’s finest species on our doorstep, we have naturally concentrated on big game hunting.

WildHunting offers a total of 6 species of big game, which are natively found only on Turkish hunting land, this makes the hunting unique! Our family has controlled the shooting in large areas of the Taurus Mountains for generations.

We therefore operate as a private family hunting estate, rather than an agent buying from different concessions all over the region. As a result, we have controlled, conserved and developed our areas in a manner that we believe to be unique in the whole country. This approach is key to our way of maintaining the highest standards in everything we do.

Cardrona Safaris

Fjelltjakt

The stags are big, the scenery immense, the hospitality endless. The pristine game habitats of our family-owned operation in the South Island of New Zealand are renowned for producing the biggest stags in the country. It’s here Top 10’s are harvested. It’s here numerous world records have been set. It’s here you’ll reach the peaks of trophy hunting excellence.

We ensure you can range far and wide to gain that once-in-a-lifetime trophy. To complement our privately owned hunting areas we have long term lease agreements with large local landholders.

Besides world-class Red Stags we also offer quality hunts for Tahr, Chamois, Fallow, Elk, Goat, Ram, Boar, Whitetail, Sika, Sambar and Rusa. These big game species are complemented by small game (rabbit, hare, wallaby, possum) and, time permitting, wing shooting.

We provide a home for one of the largest privately owned trophy red deer herds in the South Pacific. Thanks to decades of carefully focused game management the quality of a Cardrona Safaris red stag is unbeatable.

Medstugan Hunting Lodge is located in north-west Jämtland, Sweden, close to the Norwegian border. This incredible building dates from 1896 and was originally intended to provide accommodation for hunters from other continents and for the nobility. Medstugan Hunting Lodge is now the heart of Fjelljakt’s hunting activities.

Fjelljakt has been operating for over a decade, with a focus is on moose and grouse.

However, it’s not just the hunting and the area’s exceptional game population that makes Fjelljakt unique. The company also offers a gastronomic experience, with the company’s chef selecting regional delicacies to provide the guests with a completely local culinary experience when the hunting day has come to a close. The sommelier carefully chooses the wines to accompany the menu.

Fjelljakt hunts grouse in a classic manner, using pointing bird dogs. Hunting takes place in the mountains, in enchantingly beautiful surroundings. Moose hunts are conducted in two ways, driven hunts and hunting with barking moose dogs. The latter is a one-on-one hunt, which is the traditional type of hunting in this area and typical for Scandinavia. The lands at Fjelljakt’s disposal cover 16,500 hectares of roadless country, so it is not unusual for hunters to be transported into this fantastic environment by helicopter, in order to get as far as possible into the terrain. However, the hunts that Fjelljakt offers are physically demanding and guests should be well prepared.

Fjelljakt offers you a unique opportunity to hunt in one of the last areas of wilderness in Europe. If you want to experience a tough, challenging hunt in a traditional format, which is guaranteed to give you lasting memories, we would love you to be our guest!

Our team will help guide you to your target with the ‘spot and stalk’ style of hunting. The approach is always one of exceeding expectations – be it with the service before and after, the hunting experience and the final trophy.

We provide a world-class standard of service that’s at the same time laid back and friendly – everyone feels at home when hunting with our family. Quite simply, we offer New Zealand’s ultimate hunting experience. It’s one we look forward to sharing with you.

Westhighland Hunting

Home to the very best elk hunting in the world and some of the best red deer found anywhere. It is not only the trophy quality that places this hunting area as one of the best in the world but also the experience.

West Highland Hunting provides the most premium hunting experiences available anywhere in Scotland. Utilizing a number of the most spectacular sporting estates together with their traditional cottage or castle accommodation, a hunting trip to Scotland will undoubtedly be one of the most memorable of your life.

The large team working here makes sure that your stay becomes a memorable experience.

From one on one guiding to the luxury lodging and the gastronomic experience that our 2 local chefs produce, combining game meat and wild mushrooms from LWE and great local produce from the surrounding area paired with wine that has been chosen by a resident sommelier. All of this experience is second to none. The completely renovated lodge means LWE spares no expense to take the absolute best care of their guests.

The rolling hills of dense forest interspersed with meadows and water makes the hunting area a magical place. The vast majority of the hunting is done by stalking but when the weather does not collaborate there are blinds strategically placed throughout the property.

The hunting takes place starting from the middle of August and runs through the end of November. Hunters can expect to see a number of mature animals each day and will be guaranteed a number of opportunities at trophy animals. A trophy is a very personal concept unique to each hunter and at LWE there is a wide range in scores from solid representative animals scoring over 350 SCI to the next world record trophy of a lifetime.

www.laurentianwildlife.com

One of the main estates West Highland Hunting manages is the world famous and remote Ardnamurchan. Located on the Scottish west coast, Ardnamurchan is a 50 square mile peninsula in Lochaber noted for being completely unspoilt and undisturbed by man. As Britain’s most westerly point nestled among dramatic coastal and mountain scenery, it offers unrivalled sporting opportunities and some of the largest wild red stags in Scotland.

West Highland Hunting is run by Head Stalker and Sporting Manager Niall Rowantree who has over 30 years experience as a stalker and deer manager and has managed the Ardnamurchan herd for over 20 years. Niall is well known for welcoming clients and saying goodbye to great friends.

Every year clients of West Highland Hunting successfully take many trophy class wild Scottish red stags of SCI record book quality. There are also opportunities to hunt feral goats, roebuck, sika, fallow and the exotic Père David deer. Due to hunting seasons in Scotland, it is possible to stalk at least one species all year round. All of the estates that West Highland Hunting manage are carefully balanced to maintain and enhance biodiversity in accordance with best practice and the deer’s welfare.

Daggaboy Hunting Safaris Namibia Owned and operated by Dawid Muller, a well-known Namibian professional hunter who has been active in the hunting industry for more than 30 years, Daggaboy Hunting Safaris offers dangerous as well as plains game hunting opportunities on their exclusively owned hunting areas in Namibia.

Hunts for dangerous game are conducted on their exclusively operated conservancy in the Caprivi region, bordering the Mamili National Park in the south and the Mdumu National Park on the northern side. Hunts for plains game take place in an open (no high fences) area of over 40 000ha in the Khomas Hochland area in central Namibia. The plains game hunting area being only 60km south-west of Windhoek, the capital of Namibia, means that you will arrive at your hunting destination within an hour’s drive from the Hosea Kutako International Airport.

Accommodation is offered in five luxurious double rooms in the hunter’s wing next to the colonial-style farmhouse on Dawid’s ranch, with en suite bathrooms and wireless access to Internet. Up in the Caprivi the

accommodation is in en suite bungalows or tents (client’s choice) with running hot and cold water.

Excellent food, complimentary beverages, alcoholic drinks as well as a daily laundry service is included in both areas.

Daggaboy Hunting Safaris endorses the practice of ‘fair chase’ in hunting, so although 4x4 vehicles are used in the initial process of locating the game in both areas, all hunts and possible follow-ups are thereafter done on foot.

Passion for what he does, and personal attention to every detail of your hunt and stay is what Dawid is known for to which the very high percentage of return hunters to Daggaboy Hunting Safaris is a testimony.

So, you might arrive as a client, but you will definitely leave as a friend.

Ekland Safaris South Africa Ekland Safaris is an exclusive property in the heart of South Africa’s Northern Province. Its location alone is enough to bring the dream of hunting alive, housing within its boundaries at least 20 species of mammal including white rhino, cape buffalo, elephant, lion and giraffe, as well as a wide array of antelopes indigenous to the area.

However, Ekland Safaris is not simply a hunting delight. Rather, it’s a whole world of sensations spread out across its 35,000 acres: a place that stimulates the senses and proclaims the beauty of the African landscape through its own awakening.

The development of a dreamlike camp was inspired not only by the natural beauty that embraces this concept, but also by a clear understanding of the symbiosis between an adventurous spirit and the inclination for comfort and luxury of a group of selected individuals that look for a personal reward in each experience.

The estate offers many forms of enjoyment, and can accommodate every individual, hunters and non-hunters alike. It’s a unique experience for the whole family.

Fort Governor’s Estate South Africa Fort Governor´s Estate - The thrill of the chase in the spirit of the colonial safari Hunting as it was in colonial times is the experience that awaits you at Fort Governors Estate. The Estate and the surrounding area boasts a rich hunting history that stretches back into ancient times. The San people traversed this magnificent landscape, harvesting the plentiful game species that are endemic to the area. Their beautiful cave paintings still exist here as an ode to their way of life, living in harmony with nature.

Today, this vast 6,700-hectare wild game reserve is an amalgamation of four former estates. In recent years, this well established reserve has been returned to its former glory to create a perfect natural wilderness supporting an outstanding population of healthy game. An incredible twenty-seven different game species can be hunted on Fort Governors Estate which is also highly regarded internationally for its extraordinary population of the iconic Kudu.

Four diverse ecosystems and an exceptional variety of plants and trees make up this abundantly nourishing environment – a key contributor to the magnificent game population found on the estate. The spectacular valleys are home to pristine Fish River Valley Bushveld, the rolling hills flowing out onto lush grassland plains and the dramatic plunging cliff faces provide the ideal habitat for many species. Careful management of the four distinct habitats and the animals within them, ensures that the estate remains ecologically balanced.

Sustainability is the key Hunting at Fort Governors Estate incorporates sustainable game management and fair chase hunting. You will hunt only for mature old trophies in the traditional way – walking and stalking. You won’t find any hunters shooting from a truck or simply waiting for game at waterholes. Stalking for the wiliest of old trophy animals in this magnificent landscape is

certainly challenging, but you will be rewarded with an extraordinary hunting experience in the traditional African way, and you will be afforded an unforgettable impression of this spectacular landscape and diversity of game.

The most intense challenge is the buffalo hunt in the bushveld.

An epic hunting safari adventure in the land of the ancient San is an experience that will remain with you forever!

Hunt & Fish Namibia Namibia Namibia has the largest diversity of biotopes in all of Africa, ranging from deserts such as the Kalahari and the world’s oldest, the Namib Desert, to red-coloured dunes (Sossusvlei) and sandy beaches along the Skeleton Coast or then again the subtropical marshes between the Okavango and the Zambezi.

Twenty years of experience have taught us that all our guests like to discover all the different parts of this magical country, either by hunting or fishing in the different places. Therefore we offer you two hunting and two fishing destinations which we own or operate. Several combinations are possible, depending on the season, your availability and your mode of transport, all of which we would be more than happy to study together with you.

Hunting the grandiose Etosha area and the massive Damaraland The southern border of Etosha National Park is well-known to hunters for its great variety of plains game. Our privately owned land covers a diverse landscape consisting of Mopani forests, dry river beds, acacia woodlands, plains, mountains, valleys and pans.

You can hunt exceptional trophies and experience the magic of real hunting. Gold medals can be obtained for gemsbok, kudu and mountain zebra. The Damara dik-dik and the black-faced impala are even exclusive to this area. Leopards and cheetahs are considered the jewels of Etosha.

We have three types of accommodations, each giving you different experiences on your safari. One way is using our African safari lodge with all the five-star amenities typical to the Southern African triangle and with an uninterrupted view of the surrounding valleys and plains. For a more typical hunting atmosphere, we use a camp with several thatched rondawels, decorated with local artwork and en suite bathrooms. For those nostalgic for an ‘Out of Africa’ atmosphere, we offer a live version in the tented camp where as the night falls the bush comes alive.

Hunt & Fish Namibia PO Box 90538 Windhoek Namibia Tel +264 81 3032694 anneke.cloete@huntandfishnamibia.com

More to the west lies the Damaraland concession. As no fixed settlements are allowed, we use our 4x4 and tents to set up fly-camps in a moonlike environment.

www.huntandfishnamibia.com

All meals are served around a crackling fire under the clear African sky or under thatch in the central lapa, with unique game dishes. On the day you wish to take a rest from hunting, it is possible to go for a game drive in Etosha National Park or simply relax around the swimming pool and the spa of the main lodge.

Hunt & Fish Namibia Namibia Hunting the Kalahari dunes and Namib Desert South of Windhoek we own two hunting territories, each very representative of their specific biotopes. The Kalahari property features a combination of 74 sequential red sand dunes with the equivalent number of valleys stretching each over a kilometre wide. It is an amazing sensation to hunt in such countryside, as each dune hides a new spectacle of animals grazing in the next valleys.

Here you can hunt mostly grazers such as springbok, gemsbok and wildebeest, all medal quality.

Again accommodation can be provided in three different types of camps: the luxurious safari lodge with fivestar facilities such as pool, spa and restaurant; the comfortable bungalow of the hunting camp with its magic lapa and boma; or finally, real bush life in a tented camp.

A few hours westward, we have our Namib desert property, which again is a totally different view from the Kalahari. Montana-like grass plains contrast with the red hills, which seem imported from Arizona. Hunting tactics change 100%, since here the hunter and the animals have little space to hide. So far our accommodation is in our dune hotel near Sossusvlei, 40 minutes away, from which we organise fly-camps on the property.

All game here is natural resident game.

Hunt & Fish Namibia Namibia Fishing the legendary Skeleton Coast Set in the magical town of Henties Baai, on the edge of the Namib Desert, Fisherman’s Guesthouse welcomes fishermen and tourists alike. The lodge is the ultimate destination from which to experience the shore angling adventure of a lifetime. This beautiful lodge offers unforgettable accommodation a mere 200 metres from the beach. Listen to the sea, enjoy fresh air and cool evenings. Experience the different recipes for the catch of the day, accompanied by a glass of local wine.

The nine comfortable rooms promise a good night’s sleep before the big fishing day.

Renier De Villiers, our professional fisherman, will take you out on an unforgettable angling adventure. The once-in-a-lifetime experience is to catch a bronze copper shark (all the way up to 189 kg) from the sandy beach.

You do not need to be an expert though, but let’s just say that the size of your shark will be determined by your patience and wisdom during this fight and not by strength or technique. Once the shark has been hooked, the pro will guide you on how to haul the catch in.

If you want to change to edible fish for a day, you can catch big cobs as well as some locals, such as steenbras, galjoen or snoek. For the youngsters, the smaller sharks such as spotted gully shark are a good initiation before tackling the real stuff.

Other activities our team performs are desert tours in 4x4, dune races on quads or shopping in Swakopmund and its harbour Walvis Baai.

Fishing the mighty Zambezi and the mysterious Okavango There are different ways to discover the unspoiled beauty of the Caprivi strip, locked-in between the Okavango and Zambezi rivers. They provide the perfect backdrop for some of the most unforgettable fishing experiences imaginable. We elected to build a lodge along the Okavango near Popa Falls. The fishing takes place up- or downstream from the lodge, guided by an experienced fisherman in a small but safe outboard boat.

The main attraction is obviously the tigerfish; people travel the world just to fight this prehistoric-looking fish.

Other species are different sorts of bream or buddle fish, and the area is also home to two rare fish species: the broadhead catfish and occelated spinyeel.

Non-fishing activities include game drives into the Mgango game reserve or Caprivi National Park and boat trips on the river to view hippos and crocodiles.

In contrast, the Zambezi has a lot more people living along its shores. A few years ago, we started to charter a houseboat in order to organise our fishing trips onto the river from this base. Experience taught us that the houseboat provided flexibility to move up and downstream, depending on fish density. Our success rate also went up tremendously. Although houseboat life is quite a different experience, all our guests just love it.

Pro Safaris Africa Bulawayo, Zimbabwe The Zambezi Valley is the best big game hunting area in Zimbabwe, if not Africa. Rifa Safari Area is arguably the best area in the Zambezi Valley. Pro Safaris Africa has the exclusive rights to for this magnificent area. With 45 km of Zambezi frontage on the west and north, and safari areas bordering on the east and south, Rifa Safari Area is surrounded by wilderness areas, and is secluded from any human encroachment.

Everyone dreams of hunting Africa’s Big Five. Of these, the Cape Buffalo must be the most sought-after trophy of them all. Hunting them by tracking is the only true way to hunt. Hunting Cape Buffalo needs to be incorporated in a true African Safari with its vast areas and wide variety of dangerous game.

The area is perhaps best known for its cats. Leopard are abundant and can only be hunted during daylight hours, making this more interesting and giving it the work that it deserves. Two of the top 10 lion ever taken in Africa have been taken in this area, making this the number 1 area for lion in Zimbabwe.

Elephant hunting is perhaps the most physical hunt that one can ask for. Elephant is hunted on foot. Whether it’s trophy bulls, which can be anywhere between 40 lbs and 70 lbs per side, or the notorious tuskless elephant that you’re after, Rifa is the safari area that truly has it all!

Owner: Frik & Louis Muller Manager: Frik Muller

Hippo are abundant in the Zambezi River and is a unique hunt that takes you away from the everyday tracking of the Cape Buffalo. Keeping in mind that they kill more people in Africa than any other animal, one has to show them the respect they deserve. A hippo hunt should not be done without including its amphibious friend, the Nile Crocodile. This prehistoric creature has to be baited for the best results.

Rovos Train Luxury Hunting Safaris South Africa, Zimbabwe & Botswana Join us aboard Rovos Rail’s Pride of Africa, a restored 1920s vintage Edwardian train. From the dining car resplendent with white linen, fine china and crystal to each well-appointed stateroom with its private bath, the Pride of Africa is a study in elegance. Add an attentive staff and all the elements are in place for travel on the train many consider the most luxurious in the world.

Each journey offers two options. One is for wingshooting: driven guinea fowl and francolin, decoyed pigeons, and high-volume dove and waterfowl action. The second option is for plains game: kudu, gemsbok, eland and sable are just a few of the species available.

When the time comes to board, a red carpet shows the way and champagne cocktails are served while the luggage is whisked away to your stateroom. Your journey takes you from Pretoria through the bushveldt of the North West province and the diamond fields of the Northern Cape.

The first two days are devoted to driven guinea fowl shooting. Typically, eight guns account for 200+ guinea fowl and a few francolin. In addition to the driven days, there are two days of dove and pigeon action. The shooting is in a rich agricultural region near Bloemfontein, where it’s easy to shoot 500 or more rounds in a day.

Clients are met at the train by a professional hunter and transported to the hunting area, where they are guided on a 1X1 basis.

Algar Safaris Patagonia, Argentina The majestic Red Stag is the most demanded trophy in our area and we are proud to say we offer the unique “Monster” red stags, which roam free and are found in abundance. We also offer Fallow deer, Axis deer, Pere David’s deer (gold medal), Feral Oxen, Mouflon sheep, Somali Ram, Black Jacob’s ram, Patagonian Dall, Patagonian Ram, Multi-horned sheep, Wild goat, Balearean Boc, Puma, Russian Boar and blackbuck antelope.

Hunts can be conducted on horseback or 4WD vehicles, depending on the hunters preference, horsemanship and physical ability. Final approach is done on foot. Hunters may expect to stalk around 10-12 km. per day and it implies light hiking on relatively flat terrain.

We encourage bow hunters to hunt at Algar as they will find this country vast and open, making it easy to spot game from high vantage points. The hunting field and the hilly terrain is really broken with ravines and streams all around the scene where the animals come down looking for water to drink and pasture the valley which runs about 20 km through the center of the property. The tall grasses and bushes make the perfect camouflage for bow hunters’ activity. Bow hunters can shoot from 30 to 70 meters distance.

Algar Safaris Patagonia, Argentina Although Algar Safaris is very well known as a big game hunting company, we are proud to introduce the best wingshooting programs, which are easy to combine with the finest big game hunting. We offer dove shooting and also the amazing mixed bag shooting (Dove, perdiz & duck hunting) near Gualeguay, in Entre RĂ­os province, just 240 km. north east from Buenos Aires.

The area is composed of hundreds of square miles that come together to form the great Parana River delta (one of the largest ones in South America). The characteristics of this region provide the perfect environment for large quantities of ducks and perdiz. In addition, the lodge is situated on the coast of Gualeguay river, between the marshes and the high fields that are mostly used for crops, where millions of doves can be found.

Hunters will experience the world-famous mixed bag: great duck hunting early in the morning, followed by a fantastic perdiz hunt with dogs and the possibility to shoot as many doves as they want in the afternoon or just shooting doves all day long. This unique opportunity to hunt 3 species during the same hunting day; every day, is fantastic.

Finally, it’s important to mention that Algar Safaris has been supporting many important hunting associations across the U.S. and the world, in order to contribute to protect the freedom to hunt and promote wildlife conservation programs worldwide.

The overwhelming amount of birds flying over the head restlessly all day long ensures great opportunities for non stop shooting suitable for all skill levels. Beginners have an unparalleled chance for improving their shooting skills aiming at low flying doves, while more experienced shooters find higher and faster targets quite a challenge. An average hunter may expect to shoot between 2 to 4 cases a day.. and there’s No Bag Limit!

The Shooting Cordoba is considered the pigeon shooting capital of the world. The 50 square mile radius around the lodge is annually inhabited by over 5 million pigeons. The lodge enjoys around 20 shooting fields all within a scenic drive through the region.

The program generally starts at 8:00 AM with a hearty breakfast and a short drive to the shoot. In the field you will be assigned a bird-boy, who will provide you with shot shells, refreshments, direct you to your shooting stand and load your gun.

Depending on the time of the year, you will shoot until noon when you will be treated to an incredible traditional barbeque lunch at the lodge, tasting some of Argentina’s wonderful beef and the exclusive wine.

Wild pigeons are large and fast, which makes calculating speed a little bit deceptive.

Staying hidden and still in a good blind is the key to success.

I could hunt an animal of each species that was in the hunting area, that is, a very successful hunt! A great hug to all.

If something good exists in life that money does not solve, here in Rincon de los Matreros I found, I can say it and register it. I go away sad, because the reception, the hunting, the kitchen, the attention, was all very professional. I leave my gratefulness and I promise that in the next visit, I will return with my grandson Matheus.

I arrived at Rincon de los Matreros, to know the hunting lodge. It is important to say that I am not a hunter. I came to chat with my friends. Arriving, two things called the attention to me. First, the gorgeous cinematographic landscape, and second, the way I was received by the owner and his staff. Elegant and likeable. They all had a lot of patience to teach to me how to shoot.

At dusk they took me to the blind. After awhile while I was thinking in life, a male appears, five females and two young ones. Do you want to shoot?, asked Guima to me.

I didn’t even think about it, I pointed and a detonation was heard and the male wild boar fell dead. I was applauded, saluted. I felt at that time, acceptance by the club of hunters... These three days were an unforgettable life experience. Desire that this one is first of other visits. Hugs to all which were already around here and to the ones that will come.

While you are at the ranch, it is yours to enjoy, from the comfortable living room with its inviting fireplace, to the dining room offering beautiful views of open fields and the Parana River shore The Shooting AtAt Veracruz you can hunt different species of ducks depending on the time of the year, the rosy billed and whistling ducks being the most common, along with some teals.

Duck shooting features comfortable and well camouflaged blinds; quality specie-speciďŹ c decoys and guides who will place you where you need to be to get the kind of duck hunting you’ve only dreamed of until now.

The shooting occurs on the shores of San Javier Rivers, over some of the hundreds of islands or over rice fields. We shoot twice a day, morning and evening, and there is plenty of time to relax at midday.

For morning hunts, our hunters depart from the lodge in the dark, but after a hearty breakfast. Depending on the

time of the year and the behavior of the birds (scouted every day), the time to get to the blinds will be from 20 minutes to an hour, including car or boat ride.

Shooting over decoys starts at first light and continues until 10 am or after. Flocks of 20 or 30 ducks are not rare.

Most days, duck hunters return to the lodge for lunch and a siesta before afternoon departure at about 3pm for evening duck hunts. Evening hunts last until dark.

Perdiz over dogs is a great choice to hunt. They are fast and challenging. Britain’s or German shorthair dogs hunt with us.

Duck and perdiz shooting can be exchanged for Dove shooting, making the hunting diverse.

Dorado Fishing is a great and fun sport. The river scenery is phenomenal. We fish in shallow water with current.

Lots of different fish can be caught like stingray and Piranhas. We will use bait or fly rods depending on your request. Catch and release is what we do.

Bettws Hall United Kingdom The Brigands has been in the Bettws Hall portfolio since 2002 and has firmly established itself as one of the highest pheasant shoots in the UK. It is located in the Dovey Valley on the edge of Snowdonia National Park and it is this natural topography that lends itself to presenting pheasants at the pinnacle of what is deemed reachable with a shotgun. The Brigands regularly finds itself in the Top 10 shoots in the UK and once you have experienced the shooting, you will see why.

Many of the best shots from around the world make the pilgrimage to The Brigands each season to test themselves on pheasants that are purposefully presented at heights that are sure to test even the most experienced gun.

The birds themselves are presented from a mix of traditional wooded valleys as well as the vast, heather clad Cambrian Mountain sides that rise high amongst this rugged Welsh terrain.

B RIGAND S 102

The Brigands is home to numerous legendary drives, ‘Welsh Haven’ – standing in the gully between two steep and imposing hillsides with birds flying swiftly overhead has been known to completely astonish newcomers to the estate. ‘720’ is so named after the waterfall that cascades off the mountain 720 feet above where you stand in the wooded valley awaiting the pheasants that break. ‘Tommies’ drive has undoubtedly established itself as one of the elite pheasant drives in the UK based on height and landscape alone! ‘

Owner: Gwyn & Ann Evans

Accommodation and hospitality at the Brigands is gaining a reputation to rival the shooting. Bryn Cleifion Hall is a Country House located at the heart of the estate which offers beautiful private grounds and a warm and comfortable lounge and dining room to enjoy your lunch, the thought of the afternoons sport may be the only thing that will make you want to leave!

The nearby Brigands Inn is a newly renovated coaching inn dating back to 1488; it acquired its name from the buildings association with the Mawddy Bandits or the 'red haired thieves of Mawddwy' who were active in this region during the 16th century.

The Red bandits attacked and robbed travellers in the border area of the Welsh Marches are best known for the murder of the Sheriff of Meirionnydd, Baron Lewis Owen on 12 October 1555. The restoration of the Inn was undertaken sympathetically with the history and preservation of the atmosphere of utmost importance. With a wealth of exposed beams, feature fireplaces, majestic oak furniture and beautifully decorated bedrooms, the Brigands Inn will provide all the comfort and sustenance you will need after a day in the field.

Bettws Hall United Kingdom Chargot lies in the heart of the West Country in Somerset’s Bredon Hills on the edge of the Exmoor National park.

A shoot which needs little introduction as it is historically synonymous with the best pheasant and partridge shooting in Britain.

The shoot itself has forged a reputation as one of the most iconic high bird shoots in the UK, largely in part to its seemingly bottomless, steep sided valleys. Seeing really is believing at Chargot as there is valley upon valley of perfect shooting topography which in turn presents quite astoundingly sporting birds.

Game shooting followers have consistently voted Chargot as one of the top ten shooting venues in the UK. Tall and testing would be the best way to describe the birds on drives such as Spitfire, Unbelievable and Melanie’s.

Chargot has been part of the Bettws hall stable since 2009. Despite the saying “don’t fix what is not broken” – we have sympathetically enhanced the estate in keeping with its traditional landscapes.

Bettws Hall United Kingdom Gregynog Hall is an imposing Grade 1 listed Jacobean mansion which has stood for over 800 years. Situated far from any city yet completely embedded in the heart of Welsh history, art and politics. By the 16th century it was the home of the Blayney family, local gentry who claimed descent from the early Welsh princes and whose courage and benevolence were praised by the court poets.

For hundreds of years Gregynog Hall was one of Montgomeryshire’s leading landed estates, at the heart of the community and the local economy. The Blayney squires gave way to the Lords Sudeley, then Lord Joicey.

After several hundred years of private ownership, in 1913 a huge estate sale saw Gregynog’s farms, cottages and woodlands sold off, many to their tenants. Gregynog Hall might have been demolished had not the wealthy Davies sisters acquired it in 1920 to become the headquarters of their enterprise to bring art, music and creative skills to the people of Wales in the aftermath of the First World War. Gregynog was recently awarded the status of National Nature Reserve, as well as previously being designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

GREGYNOG HALL

Owner: Gwyn & Ann Evans

”Gregynog ticks all the boxes – it presents birds for every gun and the estate itself is simply stunning.

The food and hospitality at the lodges was incredible and knowledgeable hosts made sure the day ran to perfection.” – Russel Lloyd A new name in high bird shooting; Gregynog has quickly established itself as a front runner for exceptional pheasant shooting, with some staggering drives that can challenge and excite teams from November through to the end of January.

‘Iceland’ has a special feel to it for many shooters. This drive finds the gun line stretched out in the huge wern (or valley) that makes up the majority of the shoot. The wooded bank some distance in front seems almost vertical and the majestic winter light breaks through the treeline on the horizon. Pheasants flush from the rhododendrons tucked under the age old oaks on the crest of the hill and make for home at phenomenal heights, leaving both guns and onlookers speechless. High bird shooting at its best! With the aptly named ‘Vicarage’ drive along with ‘Ivors’ – it is understandable as to why this intimate shoot has a loyal following of returning guests who are keen for their secret not to be revealed.

Bettws Hall United Kingdom Kempton is the Dumbell family home and sits in a valley either side of the English and Welsh border. On the edge of the Welsh Marches, a prominent Iron Age Burrow rises majestically out of a secluded Shropshire Vale.

The ground surrounding this ancient mound forms an impressive part of one of our principal shoots.

This shoot frequently resides in the UK’s top shoot polls. The Iron Age burrow elevates itself from the Shropshire hills and is the backdrop to drives such as ‘Keepers’ and ‘The Oaks’ make full use of them. Kempton encompasses drives to suit all abilities. ‘Unbelievable’ and ‘Viagra’ are aptly named and the high birds remain in the memory of everyone who has shot there. The estate stands high upon the burrow and allows views across both Welsh and English countryside which are sure to take your breath away. A beautiful lodge sits at the head of the ‘Viagra’ valley with prominent views over the estate and beyond. It’s the perfect place to feast and enjoy the first class hospitality that you will receive.

“The hospitality at Kempton rivals that of a fine restaurant: charmingly discreet but ruthlessly efficient.

Add to that the scenery and the birds and you have an unbeatable combination.” – Tudor Griffiths

Owner: Gwyn & Ann Evans

Maesmawr Hall is a 19th Century estate that was originally laid out as a hunting retreat and is now the home of the Trant family. Nothing quite prepares you for the absolute charm and architectural elegance that you will encounter at Maesmawr. It would appear that a beautiful French Chateau has been relocated to the wonderful valleys of Montgomeryshire. As you leave the Hall and its impressive lake you travel through the deep and steep valleys, surrounded by an array of deciduous and coniferous woodland. It feels like you travelled back in time to a bygone era.

Drives such as ‘Forest Lodge’ and ‘Llanfair Wood’ present tall pheasants driven from game crop and a mixture of woodland towards guns that are located in deep valleys to ensure birds reach the line at high altitude.

In recent years, Maesmawr has carved out an illustrious reputation and has a loyal following. The magic of a sporting day here lies not just in the way the birds are presented but in the overall ambience of the beautiful surroundings.

Bettws Hall United Kingdom Molland has been the family home to the Throckmorton’s for over 800 years and lies in the depths of shooting country in Devon on the southerly boundary of Exmoor. Molland translates as ‘Land of bare hills’ though that does not do justice to the most beautiful landscape that will delight your eyes today. All aspects of biodiversity can be found here – woodland, moorland and wetland along with the varied wildlife that inhabit these environments.

The Exmoor National park is also home to a large volume of the UK’s red deer population, and it is not unusual to see these magnificent beasts around the shoot when standing in anticipation of the hard flying pheasant and partridge, after all it was historically a stag hunting estate.

The topography alters dramatically over the 5,000 acres that encompasses the Molland estate. The shoot itself is made up of a series of valleys, laid out like fingers on a hand. As a result, the backdrop for the various drives is extraordinary. Each valley is steep and offers a different way of going for both partridge and pheasant.

Drives like Folly and Dipper offer the most exhilarating partridges. While the pheasants from drives like Gourt and Inkwell can test all abilities and challenge even the greatest of game shots.

MOLLAND 110

United Kingdom

Owner: Gwyn & Ann Evans

“For me, Molland is quite simply the quintessential West Country shoot. Fabulous birds on so many wonderful drives, extremely professional staff and a family like atmosphere. Our team shoot all over the UK, but we always ensure we visit Molland each season.” – Gerwyn Jones West Molland is what we like to term “Devon Heaven” – some of the most truly breath taking scenery can be found whilst meandering through the streams, brooks, open pasture land and dramatic valleys. West Molland is home to one of the most famous drives in the UK - ‘The Wood’ - where pheasants are flushed from distant cover crop and then gain altitude over mature oak and coniferous woodland where they are hidden from the gun line until the very last minute before exploding high above the line of guns standing deep in the valley.

We generally shoot three drives in the morning with a break between each for champagne and damson gin with delectable warming nibbles. The party can then return to Great Champson for lunch or shoot through if time and weather dictates.

“It doesn’t get better than West Molland, with the mixture of mature woodland and cover crop drives together with breath-taking scenery. It should simply be on every sportsman’s bucket list!” – Tony Bond

Bettws Hall United Kingdom Vaynor Park is a traditional parkland shoot set in Montgomeryshire in Mid Wales. Home to the Corbett-Winder family for generations, William Corbett-Winder can still be found hosting days on this truly stunning estate. The road rises up from the gatehouse in the valley bottom through traditional parkland and eventually reaches the summit. It is here that you are graced with your first glimpse of the 15th century Hall sitting proudly over its grounds. The Victorian Mansion originally built of timber and stone was rebuilt in brick in 1640. Two centuries later John Lyon Winder asked the Montgomeryshire County Surveyor, Thomas Penson, to rebuild the house again, in Jacobean style. The views of the surrounding countryside are far reaching and simply stunning.

A typical day will begin with the guns enjoying a leisurely breakfast in our sporting lodges. The team will then assemble in the courtyard and begin the very short drive to the Vaynor estate where tea and coffee will be served. It is here that pegs will be drawn and the order of the day will be revealed before proceeding to the morning drives. As with all of our estates, hospitality matches the sport, so Champagne and canapĂŠs precede a wonderful home cooked lunch back at the lodge before the afternoon shooting commences.

United Kingdom

Owner: Gwyn & Ann Evans

With signature drives such as ‘Hanging Wood’ presenting a steady flow of high, climbing pheasants and partridge exploding in singles and huge coveys alike – the shooting is constant from the first horn to signal the start of the drive, right until the very end some 30 minutes later! Vaynor Park exudes everything that is synonymous with driven pheasant and partridge shooting in the UK. Tradition, sporting birds, beautiful countryside and wonderful hospitality make this the jewel in our crown.

“Vaynor Park always provides the perfect combination of excellent sport in such a lovely environment. It is a pleasure returning to spend time there with people who have been our friends for years.”

Château Saint Michel France Experienced hunters usually need to go far to hunt big deer. This is often a long and troublesome trip, and sometimes accommodations are rough. As of this year, a new destination in France has opened, offering some of the biggest and most beautiful deer.

The Saint Michel property, in the Nièvre department, located between Beaune and Saint-Honoré-les-Bains, will welcome you to its magnificent park. You will stay in a fully renovated castle with all the comfort of a five-star hotel. Everything is done to perfection, be it the rooms or the meals.

The owner Antoine Feidt, himself a very experienced hunter who has travelled the world, will personally welcome you and make it possible for you to shoot one of his exceptional deer.

The deer are originally from Germany, and they were imported to France 10 years ago. They have been pampered and well taken care of in order to make this livestock so amazing today. They have been treated naturally and kept in the wild. Many stags have 30 points or more and go up to gold medals.

For the first time, Antoine Feidt is opening this exceptional domain where he will, I am sure, prove the beauty and the quality of his deer. You will either hunt game from a hide on watchtowers or by stalking. The best calibres for hunting here are .300 Winchester, 9.3 x 62, etc.....

A French hunting permit or license is mandatory. You will be hunting with the owner, who will gladly explain the evolution of his livestock and his theories on genetics.

So take advantage of this unique opportunity to discover these unique deer, and should you shoot one of them, it will most certainly become one of the most admired pieces in your trophy room.

The Hunting Villa was built in 1896. Medstugan Hunting Villa embodies a genuine sense of hunting traditions and hunters have stayed here since the turn of the last century. Over the years, Medstugan Hunting Villa has attracted both royalty and big game hunters from foreign lands.

MOOSE HUNTING, THE TRADITIONAL WAY Our most exclusive hunting product is one-on-one hunting with a barking moose dog. You and a tracker/dog handler hunt alone over large areas, waiting for the dog to find the moose. When the dog “holds” the moose through its rhythmic barking, we start our cautious approach on an extremely watchful moose. There are few hunting methods that bring about such a rush of adrenaline. This package also includes “calling for moose” in the dawn to increase your chances of shooting the “big bull”.

We also offer driven hunts for moose. We hunt using experienced trackers/dog handlers. Depending on the wind and weather, we can choose whether to hunt with the dogs leashed or unleashed. All drives are conducted in beautiful open mountain terrain.

GAME BIRD HUNTING We offer ptarmigan hunts using pointing bird dogs. Hunting takes place on the open mountainsides or in the forests of mountain birch. This hunting method necessitates a great deal of walking in the mountains, but the breathtaking surroundings mean you soon forget that you are also getting a little bit of exercise. Ptarmigan hunting is very sociable, as you have time to chat during the day; it is only in bird situations that discipline and a cool head are necessary. All of our hunts require that you are used to spending time in the outdoors and that you are physically prepared for long walks and long days in the mountains.

Great Spanish Hunts Spain

The red-legged partridge (Alectoris Rufa) is a Gallinaceous fowl endemic to Spain considered the most sporting and challenging bird in the world by hunters due to its beauty, audacity and fast and erratic flight. The driven partridge shoot is a shooting style with a long and deeply rooted tradition in Spain, which allows the hunter to enjoy the red-legged partridge in a far more challenging way, since the speed and height reached are unbeatable, putting more than one expert wing shooter to the test.

Our shoots are some of the best and most famous in the country. Groups of 3 to 10 guns usually bag around 1,000 birds per day or even double that amount depending on their shooting skills. Thanks to the wide range of estates we manage and their diverse and beautiful landscapes we are able to offer some of the most spectacular and challenging drives to be found in Spain. Featuring birds with fast and erratic flight, both low and high flying, we can offer drives that allow hunters to enjoy very varied and challenging shoots. A pair of 12 and 20 bore double-barrel matched shot guns is ideal for this type of shoot. We work closely with top gun manufacturers to offer you the best quality guns on-site, therefore avoiding the inconvenience of travelling with them.

People will enjoy delicious meals prepared by the Chef Joel and his wife Patricia. The Chef can offer some kitchen lesson and wine degustation while hunters are in the field. Visiting Chambord castle is one of the highly recommended activities to non-hunters : www.aubergeduchevalblanc.com

Scandinavian Prohunters Sweden Scandinavian Prohunters is arranging hunts throughout Scandinavian for a variety of species.

We are proud to say we have access to the best, professionally managed areas.

Sweden and the Scandinavian countries can offer you a huge diversity of game and great hunting in an absolutely beautiful scenery. With the soft agricultural in the south to the more rough terrain in the north. In the south you find the big Roebucks, Fallow deer, Wild boars, Red stags, Mouflon and rarity species as the European Bison. The wing shooting is also very big in the southern part especially for geese, pheasants, partridges and ducks.

In the north the landscape is spectacular with the highlands, the lakes and the big forests. Here you find the Reindeers, the big trophy bird Capercaille and the European Moose. There is a great variety of species that can be combined, so the choice is yours.

Sweden is rich in history, great sightseeing, and of course, wonderful shopping for the non-hunters. The hunting, sightseeing, and shopping opportunities all feature great accommodations, which can even be upgraded to a Castle, or old Manor houses. Most couples choose to stay after the hunt to explore the country on their own. The infrastructure of Sweden is first class and everyone speaks English which making it much easier to travel.

Stalking in the south It is no coincidence that Swedish Roebuck are classified as the most beautiful buck in the world. Tall, slender, and symmetric, they will provide you with an awesome trophy that will most certainly find a prominent spot in your home. A Roebuck trophy will not only give you memories of a great hunt, but will also provide a lifetime of memories of Sweden at its finest.

Roebuck season is the time of year when the climate in Sweden is at its best. We have the best areas that are situated in the

Southern part of Sweden in Skane where we every year shoot some big gold medal bucks.

In Sweden we have big trophies of both European Red stag and Fallow deer. Many Fallow deer lovers have went home with a smile on their faces after getting a trophy of their lifetime. For the European Bison there is just a few licens per year.

The Wild boars in Sweden is the same as the big Russian ones. We hunt them in two different ways, stalking or driven hunt, its an exciting hunt with a lot of action.

Wing shooting In Sweden we probably have the best Geese shooting in the world. There are no bag limit so every year we are having days with 200 plus geese in a day!

Rough shooting has become more and more popular. To start the morning with Partridge over pointing dogs, continue with flushing pheasants and end the day with a duck shoot, can it be better? We can also offer really big Duck shoots.

Hunting in the north Sneaking up on a European Moose the hunting dogs have cornered is one of the most exciting hunting experiences you will ever have. You must go into the wind as quietly as possible, and always know where the dog is. This type of hunting puts your hunting skills to the test, and it is important to keep all your senses on high alert in order to make quick decisions.

This is a hunt for people who appreciate a true “Fair Chase” hunt.

In the Norwegian highlands we are hunting the majestic Reindeer. Combining a beautiful trophy in fantastic landscape accommodated in charming cottages in the highland makes this a favorite.

Soto Real Andalucia, Spain Spain has always had a peculiar attraction for hunters. It of course has two very unique ways of hunting namely the “ojeo” driven partridge and the “monteria” driven big game.

Andalucia has long been the el dorado of partridge shooters, providing some of the world’s finest shooting, in breathtaking scenery of hills and valleys.

In contrast with the more northern hunting areas, Seville boasts a reputation of ever sunny skies and mild temperatures the whole hunting season long. Taking the sun at his post, with these “Spanish grouses” all around you is a pleasure for any hunter. The informal yet traditional atmosphere, punctuated by the convivial Spanish hospitality, makes these outings a daylong fiesta. Put Soto Real, the exclusive hunting resort and retreat in these surroundings and a Magic Safari Lodge is born.

But, what really triggers everyone’s imagination is that you can walk around in short sleeves in winter, enjoying your days out hunting while friends or associates back home are shivering in the cold.

Your only thought then is: “this is magic”.

Spain

Owner: Classified Manager: Guy van Onsem

Nature around Soto Real could not be more tempting! A true sportsman will appreciate the swift flight of the red-legged partridges driven from the hills by the majestic Andalusian horses over an armada of a dozen pair gunned shooters.

Spain is rated as one of Europe’s last hunting paradises and the abundant nature of Soto Real offers most exciting opportunities for the shooting sportsman. The 5.000 acre shooting grounds are bordered on one side by the delta of the Guadalquivir and on the other by the Sierra Grazalema.

Red-legged partridges are amongst the most challenging birds in Europe and our driven partridge shoots are an absolute delight! The mild Spanish climate almost always guarantees clear blue skies and warming sun. The breathtaking views of the Andalusian countryside and the beauty of the typical red partridge make the picture complete. Season starts early October to end only mid March

Soto Real Andalucia, Spain Wonderful outdoor cocktails, lunches prepared in the countryside by our chef and a beautiful presentation of the bag of the day will contribute to make your stay at Soto Real an unforgettable synergetic experience.

Depending on the time of year, Soto Real offers many other shooting possibilities.

From July till the end of September, quail and rabbits walk up shooting over dogs is organized for small groups.

During the normal hunting season, hares and partridges can further fill up your bag and towards the end of the season flights of thrush represent a particular attraction.

The main cortijo has this very special feel of a wonderful country house.

Each room designed and decorated in a delightful blend of traditional Andalusian and old Moresque style, has an en suite luxury bathroom, intimate salon and private terrace.

Soto Real does not attempt to present an image or make a statement. The aim is to provide guests with quiet comfort and discreet service, which will enable them to relax and draw from surroundings and to restore the senses that modern life tends to crush. The perception of luxury also has a touch of elegance: decoration is luxurious yet without ostentation, fantasy in all sobriety giving total tranquility.

Soto Real is also perfect for couples and families, for a long weekend or a short week. It is within easy driving distance of the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, the towns of Jerez, Sevilla and Cordoba and the surrounding white villages - all available as chauffeur-driven excursions.

In the cortijo itself there are opportunities for horse and carriage riding, fitness, sauna, as well as a beautycenter, tennis and clay shooting, all organized by professional staff.

Big game also abounds in the forested hills with species such as the red- and fallow deer, roe, mouflon and not forgetting the much-coveted wild boar. Hunting them in Monteria style, driven by dogs “podencos and mastines�, holds the greatest fascination for anyone, given both the skills and the ancient rites involved.

Stalking the Spanish Ibex is a challenge for the fittest as the mountains around Ronda can take their toll.

WildHunting Company Turkey WildHunting in Turkey is owned and managed by the Ekenler Family and currently run by two brothers, Kürşat and Temir. They are both extremely keen young hunters and have hunted extensively throughout Turkey and abroad.

The Ekenler family has been landowners in Tarsus, Cukurova area for more than 300 years. Hunting is a family tradition, proudly passed from father to son and finally to us. We have always had a passion for the wild; This has been supported by their father who took Temir and Kürşat with him to many hunts all over the world.

With some of the world’s finest species on our doorstep, we have naturally concentrated on big game hunting.

WildHunting offers a total of 6 speacies of big game, which are natively found only on Turkish hunting land, this makes the hunting unique!

1) Anatolian Bezoar Ibex 2) Anatolian Konya Sheep 3) Anatolian Chamois 4) Anatolian Red Deer 5) Anatolian Urfa Gazelle 6) Anatolian Wild Boar

Our family has controlled the shooting in large areas of the Taurus Mountains for generations. We therefore operate as a private family hunting estate, rather than an agent buying from different concessions all over the region. As a result, we have controlled, conserved and developed our areas in a manner that we believe to be unique in the whole country. This approach is key to our way of maintaining the highest standards in everything we do.

Anatolian Bezoar Ibex: is a very popular big game of our mountains and has a very special reputation amongst hunters from around the World and a very challenging and special hunt for us. We have managed to

154

Owner: classified Managers: Kursat Ekenler & Temir Ekenler

protect and control the game by careful selective shooting and are proud to say that we have some of Turkey’s finest trophy Ibex hunting – with trophies that most can only dream about. We have averaged 44’’(110cm) over the past hunting years and harvest more than a few trophies between 48’’ – 52’’(120-130cm).

We have also been living this dream of ethical, sporting hunting, conserving both the game and our wonderful natural environment, for ourselves, our clients and our guests, now and in the future.

Anatolian Wild Boar: is the most common big game and a very exciting hunt for our hunting guests; since Turkey produces the biggest boars in the World with body size exceeding 200-250kg and tusks measuring between 24-30cm.

We have been organizing and carrying out hunts for our guests, with a very experienced and trained team for over 20 years.

OUR EXTENSIVE WORLDWIDE HUNTING EXPERIENCE MEANS THAT; WE SEE THE TRIP FROM A CLIENTS EYES, WHICH WE THINK IS VITAL!

Australian Buffalo Hunters Australia Australian Buffalo Hunters – Classic Safaris Australia’s No1 Buffalo Hunting: Hopefully the wind wont turn. The 4 of us stalked into position, as 8 Water Buffalo were feeding this way. We had spotted them about 300m out, and clearly the Bull was a huge one, thick, heavy and perhaps 47” spread. They slowly fed closer, all was good, but the bull was at the back. It seamed like 20 minutes, but 2 cows came closer, and the Bull to the right now. When their heads were down, Jean Philippe and I moved fast, getting closer and closer 60m, 50m.... Then a cow spooked, JP was ready and settled the 416 Rigby sight on the shoulder. Boom, the Buffalo was down, perfect.. But not today, he sprang back to his feet and took off after the herd, two more quick shots through thick trees, a direct hit on a tree, and a direct hit on the Bull, he was knocked over again at about 120m, and by the time we caught up, he just needed a finishing shot. What a great hunt, every hunt is different, our calm and steady plan worked..!! but often the plan turns to quick thinking and some running. We admired such a beautiful, tough and very old Buffalo bull... a younger one will take his place.

Central Arnhem Land Is Genuine Wilderness: We specialize in Australia’s best Buffalo hunting with 4x highly productive NLC licensed concessions of 840,000HA (2.5million acres). Large herds of Water Buffalo, some Scrub Bull (wild ox) and occasional Wild Boar. The grassy plains, rolling hills, streams and rivers in fertile valleys produce excellent and wide 90-105 SCI Buffalo bulls because of the open Savana.

Classic Tented Safari Camps are set close to the Buffalo. Canvas tents, bunk beds, canvas bag showers, camp toilets, wood safari chairs and tables, quality meals and drinks. Not a luxury Tanzania camp with extra staff. But real hunters will enjoy an old style expedition. Best season: June, July, August.

Australia’s No1 Banteng Hunting: The previous evening we saw about 25 Banteng, and about 6 were nice bulls. Setting of at sunrise, after 1km we observed a very big Banteng, his horns were thick, wide and curved up, most are quite straight. He lay down, half behind a tree. But 15m to his left was another bull. So our stalk was long and careful as not much cover... We made it as close as we could, about 90m. The hunter settled for the shot. “I’ll aim for the shoulder, but what if I hit the tree..?”

“Just shoot again” I urgently whispered.!!.. The New 98 Mauser 416 Rigby with open sights settled and fired, clipping the tree.. The Bull took off to the right running at full steam, but an excellent second shot nailed him, down he went in a pile of dust.. awesome... but the other Banteng bull ran flat out between us, and then past 2 of the lady observers.. I ran back to shoot if things got nasty... Lucking they were frozen behind a not very wide tree, and he ran past at 10m... Wow, that was exciting for us all... After an insurance shot we approached, What a very beautiful old Banteng, fantastic...

Northern Arnhem Land is the only place in the world to legally hunt wild Banteng. This NLC licensed area is fertile country with good feed and plenty of big Banteng bulls.. We set our basic tented fly camp very close to the animals, so we only walk in the concession, and carry back our trophies.

Australian Buffalo Hunters offer only true wilderness. No ranches, No fences, No helicopters. Our aim is honest, ethical and professional service. I am a dedicated Life Member of IPHA, SSAA and SCI, and member of many Hunting clubs. We hope to see you soon, for Australia’s best REAL adventure.

Cardrona Safaris New Zealand The stags are big, the scenery immense, the hospitality endless. The pristine game habitats of our family-owned operation in the South Island of New Zealand are renowned for producing the biggest stags in the country. It’s here Top 10’s are harvested. It’s here numerous world records have been set. It’s here you’ll reach the peaks of trophy hunting excellence.

We ensure you can range far and wide to gain that once-in-a-lifetime trophy. To complement our privately owned hunting areas we have long term lease agreements with large local landholders.

Besides world-class Red Stags we also offer quality hunts for Tahr, Chamois, Fallow, Elk, Goat, Ram, Boar, Whitetail, Sika, Sambar and Rusa. These big game species are complemented by small game (rabbit, hare, wallaby, possum) and, time permitting, wing shooting.

We provide a home for one of the largest privately owned trophy red deer herds in the South Pacific. Thanks to decades of carefully focused game management the quality of a Cardrona Safaris red stag is unbeatable.

This is how we’ve gained considerable acclaim for producing world class trophies, with stags scoring in excess of 600 SCI and 20 kg of antler. A trophy this big provides our hunters with a genuine ‘larger than life’ experience – it’s an exceptional time that you’ll never forget.

Laurentian Wildlife Estate Quebec Canada Home to the very best elk hunting in the world and some of the best red deer found anywhere. It is not only the trophy quality that places this hunting area as one of the best in the world but also the experience.

The large team working here makes sure that your stay becomes a memorable experience.

The vast majority of the hunting is done by stalking but when the weather does not collaborate there are blinds strategically placed throughout the property.

The hunting takes place starting from the middle of August and runs through the end of November. Hunters can expect to see a number of mature animals each day and will be guaranteed a number of opportunities at

trophy animals. A trophy is a very personal concept unique to each hunter and at Laurentian there is a wide range in scores from solid representative animals scoring over 350 SCI to the next world record trophy of a lifetime.

There are some animals considered management quality each year that are great for hunters that want to bring a child to share in this wonderful passion of hunting.

Laurentian Wildlife Estate New York, USA For the past few years Laurentian Wildlife Estate has been partners with an exclusive whitetail hunting estate nestled in the heart of the Hudson River Valley 70 Miles north of Manhattan New York. This partnership allows hunters to combine the best Elk, Red Stag and Whitetail hunting in North America.

Rifles are provided on site so as to make the trip as convenient as possible. It is only a six hour drive or a short flight to get from one property to the other.

The estate is rolling hardwood forested hills with meadows spread throughout.

Hunting season is 1st of September through the end of November with the peak of the rut the two first weeks of November.

Depending on the season and weather most of the hunting will be spot and stalk, this is combined with some hunting from stands. The property is very well set up for bow hunting and each year about 50% of the trophies are taken with a bow or crossbow. Any avid deer hunter should experience Whitetail hunting.

A brand new lodge was completed in 2015 to accommodate hunters. Everyone will be catered to by a full time staff and meals will be prepared by the chef during the stay. Everything is very carefully managed so that everyone has the best experience possible during their stay.

Laurentian Wildlife Estate Au cours des dernières années, Laurentian Wildlife Estate a développé un partenariat avec un domaine de chasse situé dans l’état de New York, à 70 miles au Nord de Manhattan. Il faut 6 heures de voiture ou un court trajet en avion pour rejoindre les deux propriétés. Cette solution permet aux chasseurs, s’ils le désirent, de combiner en un séjour les meilleures chasses de wapitis, de cerfs élaphes et de cerfs de Virginie.

Le territoire se situe en basse montagne, sur un terrain de grandes forêts parsemées de cultures à gibier. La chasse est principalement à l’affut, mais elle peut aussi se faire à l’approche. Cette chasse convient également particulièrement bien aux chasseurs à l’arc. En effet, chaque année, à peu près 50% des trophées sont récoltés à l’arc ou à l’arbalète.

La saison de chasse est ouverte du 1er Septembre à fin Novembre et le rut se déroule les deux premières semaines de Novembre. Tout amateur de chasse au chevreuil appréciera particulièrement l’expérience du cerf de Virginie.

Spring and Fall Hunts on Vancouver Island: Spot-and-stalk hunts for Black Bear and Roosevelt Elk

Our 7800 square kilometer exclusive hunting territory is located along the rugged west coast of Vancouver Island. The area has over 50 grizzly-free salmon river valleys where the Black Bear feed in the Fall. The Black Bear hunting here is unsurpassed due to superior genetics and the densest populations of Black Bear per square kilometer of anywhere in North America. There are no other locations that have better success rates, sizes or ages of bears harvested.

Vancouver Island is also well-known as the premier destination for pure Roosevelt Elk. We consistently produce record book bulls.

We also offer Coastal Wolf as an add-on animal for a trophy fee on early Spring Black bear hunts, as well as Sitka Deer on the Fall hunts.

A second Black Bear may be taken on a trophy fee basis.

We limit the number of hunters we book to ensure that every hunter has the best possible hunting experience. On the Spring Black Bear hunts we prefer to book just two hunters per hunt date who will take two bears each, but we will take a maximum of four hunters per hunt date if requested. In the Fall we only take one or two hunters per hunt date. Roosevelt Elk hunts are limited to two hunters per season.

Canada

Owner & Manager : John & Kathy Sievers

We use a combination of custom-designed boats and quads to access the many beaches and logging roads within our guide territory. Camp accommodations may be provided in either our live-aboard boat or a rustic log cabin lodge, or some combination of both, depending on where we are hunting.

It is this combination of excellent equipment, comfortable camps, superior animals and professional services that enables us to maximize our hunters’ opportunities while providing a true wilderness hunting experience.

Seasons: 5 day 1:1 hunts for Spring Black Bear, Coastal Wolf - April 1- May 20 10 day 1:1 hunts for Roosevelt Elk, Sitka Deer - October 10 - 20 5 day 1:1 hunts for Fall Black Bear, Sitka Deer - October 21- November 5

To Get Here: Clients fly into Vancouver International the day before the hunt starts and then take a 30 minute commuter flight over to Comox Airport on Vancouver Island. We pick clients up at Comox Airport and take them to a hotel for the night. The next morning we drive them to the hunting area on the west coast of the Island to begin the hunt. Alternatively, clients may choose to rent a vehicle at Vancouver International and take the ferry service across to Vancouver Island.

Buy your cask share!

HOW DOES IT WORKS? You choose a share from a cask.

You decide to let it mature for 3 or 5 years.

We provide it to you at 46% alcohol by vol. or at cask strength (+/- 70% alcohol by vol.).

HAVE YOU DECIDED? Your share corresponds to either 6 or 12 bottles.

You receive a certificate of authenticity that you can exchange at the distillery as from October 2016 if you chose for a 3 years old or starting from October 2018 if you chose for a 5 years old!

ARE THE CASK SHARES SO SPECIAL? Yes, the Belgian Owl is a 100% Belgian Single Malt whisky.

The water is drawn from the ground water of Hesbaye, a rich subsoil that has for centuries already allowed for the creation of rich and pure water. The barley is grown by Belgian farmers involved in fair trade and reasoned agriculture.

Moreover, the used stills derive from the legendary Scottish ex-distillery of Caperdonich.
