Foreword of the founder Several incidents between hunters and antihunters happened last year worldwide. What struck me in the articles in the press or in reports on the social media is that it looks like the so-called ecologists seem to know everything about conserving wildlife and that the hunters are irrespective of the balance in nature. I do not wish to go into the debate for the umpteenth time, but I do know that if we would let these people manage wildlife it would be a prescription for extinction. To start with Africa, hunters have raised the value of wildlife and provided the financial resources and the incentives for conservation. It is the value given to wildlife by safari hunting that keeps the poachers from wiping out all the large animals, removes problem animals from villages and makes it possible for humans and wildlife to co-exist. Hunters on the American continent have learned from more than 100 years of experience that the key to wildlife conservation is to have trained wildlife officials make scientifically-based decisions on balancing wildlife populations with the environment, with hunters funding the effort through the license fees and the taxes on guns and ammunition. In the U.S. two large organizations such as Safari Club International
and the National Rifle Association joined forces and have been granted the right to participate as intervenors in a case, which was challenged by the antis, of the delisting of bears by the administration in the Yellowstone area. In many European countries where hunting policies had been handed over to the greens for the last 20 years, some governments now bring in hunting organizations for each decision taken on the matter, as results (not to say disasters) have shown that the unilateral anti-hunting attitude has exactly been detrimental for a balanced wildlife management. We at Magic Safari Lodges have in the past always promoted with our members the need of affiliating into hunters associations and providing them with sufficient funding so they can invest into qualified consultants to combat the madness of the antis and protect our rights to hunt and the legacy to our children.

Scandinavian Pro Hunters Unique Geese shooting In Skåne, we offer fantastic goose hunting on and around our hunting lodge Markie Hage. The best conditions for these hunts are often difficult to predict, but when the big migration of birds are coming to our areas we are then normally seeing ten thousands of geese in a day, so those who are lucky enough to be able to participate may be rewarded with the goose hunt of their lives. There are no bag limit so every year we are having days with 200 plus geese in a day! World class Roebucks in Skane, South Sweden 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. Scandinavian Prohunters have the best privately owned properties in the Southern part of Sweden / Skane where we every year shoot big gold medal bucks. The hunt is out from our charming hunting lodge.

Sabournac
Graet Spanish Hunts
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.
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.
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.
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.

Welcome ! The world is changing faster than ever, to some of us it’s a challenge to keep up with the many, and rapid, changes. Don’t get me wrong, change can be good, and to some extend change is necessary. I guess we all need to act a bit more responsible. Environmental awareness is an example, and this also apply to the sporting world. We have to make sure that hunting and fishing goes hand in hand with conservation. However, some things should never change. Magic Safari Lodges is one of them. It always was, and still is, the number one book when it comes to destinations for the greatest sporting adventures. Laksen Sporting has been a proud Magic Safari Lodges partner for years, and that won’t change either.

10.3 x 68 SMARTMAGNUM – THE NEW DIMENSION. A calibre with perfectly balanced velocity and energy. For hunting success without limits. The 10.3 x 68 Mag. redefines comfortable shooting in the magnum class and takes the effective action offered by magnum cartridges to a completely new dimension. The bigger bullet diameter ensures excellent effectiveness in game and up to 81 percent more stopping power in contrast with conventional medium-calibers with comparable recoil irrespective of velocity. There is no other caliber in which it is possible to achieve a bullet weight of 13 to 26 grams while covering nearly all hunting requirements. The greater bullet diameter guarantees immediate stopping power, especially in driven hunting for hard-toshoot wild boar – even when hunting with lead-free bullets!

Hopeful hunters from all over the globe take advantage of Horstman’s guided trips. In some cases, Mike Horstman hires a packer assistant who doubles as an interpreter. These hunts are typically based from comfortable, if something rustic cabins. Camps are accessed by boat or charter plane. Spike camps are used to access to the more remote edges of guided areas. Unless otherwise requested, all of our hunts are one-on-one, allowing us to focus in on the needs, interests, and capabilities of each hunter. The thing we are proud of : Over 40 years we have served successful adventures. If you are a hunter you know what we are talking about… WHAT IS INCLUDED: Your hunt will include transportation from Kodiak Airports to and from the camp.

Owner: Ron Nemetchek Manager: Maria Origoni North River Outfitting is a small, family-run outfitting business operated by Ron Nemetchek and Maria Origoni. That family feel is extended to our guides, staff and our hunters. When you join us on a hunt in this spectacular and remote part of British Columbia, you will feel at home and welcomed into our hunting family. That same care, hard work and attention to detail goes into everything we do. This is Ron’s 38th year in the outfitting business. In addition to starting his own business, Ron has guided big game hunts all over North America, including Alaska. Ron has been flying since he was 18 and his experience as a pilot makes our operation very unique in British Columbia. From our remote main lodge, Ron can shuttle small loads into even more remote locations, setting up camps in places that would be unfeasible for anyone else. Maria Origoni joined the North River Outfitting team more than 10 years ago. Having run her own business in Alberta, Maria has brought her excellent organizational strengths and focus on customer service to the outfitting business. Additionally, Maria is an excellent cook! Maria is from Switzerland and she speaks English, Swiss, German and Italian. Together, Ron and Maria are proud of the excellent wilderness experience they offer to their clients in Alberta and British Columbia. Their tireless work, attention to detail and client-oriented approach are why so many hunters return each year. At North River Outfitting, we offer hunts of unmatched quality. We boast outstanding success in our harvest. Much of that success has to do with the area we are blessed to hunt. But a great deal of our success comes in how we manage it. We take far fewer hunters than this area can support. There’s a good chance that when we fly you into a remote camp for your hunt, that area hasn’t been hunted in years. Our hunting area is massive, it’s remote, and it is game-rich. Our British Columbia hunts offer the ultimate in a wilderness experience. We hunt the most remote part of B.C. at the far northern end of the province. From our main lodge, you will fly to your remote hunting location. There’s no messing around with horses or long days in the saddle. In a 20-minute flight, you’ll be in an area that is so remote, the animals you see may never have encountered another human. This is the ultimate wilderness hunt. We have the success and the trophy quality to prove it. Nowhere else will you find such quality moose, stone sheep, mountain goat, mountain caribou and grizzly all in the same area and without any hunting pressure. North River Outfitters is also specialized to make you and your family discover the rich and spectacular wilderness in this remote part of British Columbia. Discover the great outdoors, wildlife and wonders of the nature and make memories of a life time with your family.

Owner: Kursat & Temir Ekenler 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 4) Anatolian Red Deer
2) Anatolian Konya Sheep 5) Anatolian Urfa Gazelle
3) Anatolian Chamois 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 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. We do not over promise, over sell or over hunt. Our family reputation is far too important for that. This experience, applied to the management of our home estates, equips us to provide you with the hunting trip of a lifetime. OUR EXTENSIVE WORLDWIDE HUNTING EXPERIENCE MEANS THAT; WE SEE THE TRIP FROM A CLIENTS EYES, WHICH WE THINK IS VITAL! Please visit our website and write Temir or Kursat an e-mail to start exploring your next hunting adventure with WildHunting in TURKEY!

The Ekenler Brothers started their CENTRAL ASIAN outfitting hunting operation few years ago due to very high demand from their clients and friends. After many years of extensive researching and countless hours of field work, they managed to partner up with the best operators in CENTRAL ASIA, which in result has created exceptionally high quality hunting trips to be among the finest in CENTRAL ASIA.
Our friends and clients prefer to hunt with us for the following reasons: *Instead of dealing with foreign operators or western agents, they book with someone they know well and fully trust. *Since most CENTRAL ASIAN countries are Turkic, we have better understanding of their culture (Turks emigrated from Central Asia to Anatolia about thousand years ago) *We personally accompany and guide all our hunters on these hunts. *We strive to give the same level of service and hunting experience that we provide in Turkey.

AFRICA NAMIBIA Owner: Classified Contact: Renier de Villiers 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. More to the west lies the Damaraland concession. As no fixed settlements are allowed, we use our 4x4 and tents to set up flycamps in a moonlike environment. 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.

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 five-star 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 eastwards, towards the Botswana border, we have a 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. Cheetah, leopard and hyena are abundant in this area. The accommodation is in a typical thatched lodge uniquely decorated in a hunting atmosphere. All game here is natural resident game.

AFRICA NAMIBIA Owner: Classified Contact: Louis Fenaux 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. Louis Fenaux, 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 260 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. English, French, Dutch and German spoken

For us, trophy hunting and conservation is the same thing. As custodians of our natural inheritance, what gives us the right to hunt is the continuous commitment and determination to protect and conserve the wildlife and its habitat. We should never disregard this moral obligation. Anybody can offer you a trophy hunt, but only a few will offer you a great trophy hunt. Few are the outfitters who will give you that memorable safari experience that gives you the satisfaction you spent your money wisely and earned you the heart warming pride that you also invested in conservation and thus the survival of a sport you so cherish: hunting. “The owner of this company is a proud member of the CIC”

Manager: Mariano Fernandez
The majestic Red Stag is the most sought after 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. Red Stag (Cervus elaphus) was introduced into Argentina more than a hundred years ago, the first specimens were brought to the province of La Pampa, and subsequent imports also introduced this magnificent animal into the southern part of the country, Patagonia. Nowadays, you will find awesome Red Stag trophies in the hunting environment and this is the result of more than 25 years of hard work and strictness in the selection we have made. Hunting red deer in Argentina is a truly unique experience, particularly in the region of Patagonia mostly characterized by very open and big ranges. The stags can be spotted from a long distance, and rutting season is usually very long (more than 60 days), providing ample chances to harvest a very nice trophy. Undoubtedly, Algar Safaris provide an authentic and natural Patagonian hunting experience.
ALGAR SAFARIS Patagonia Argentina Mobile: +54 9 11 3115 0028 www.algar-safaris.com info@algar-safaris.com
Besides Red stag, we also offer fallow deer, axis deer, Père David’s deer, mouflon sheep, black Jacob’s ram, patagonian dall, patagonian ram, multi-horned sheep, wild goat, Juan Fernández goat (Balearean boc), puma, european boar and blackbuck antelope. Hunts are conducted on 4WD vehicles and final approach is done on foot. Hunters may expect to walk around 10-12 km. per day which 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 terrain is mostly rolling hills and mesas broken with ravines and creeks where the animals gather for water, and graze the valleys which run across the property. The tall grasses and bushes make the perfect camouflage for bow hunters’ activity. Bow hunters should expect 30-70 mt shot distance.

ALGAR SAFARIS Patagonia
Algar is the definite place for free range stag, and it is the only REAL free range ranch in Argentina where above average trophies can be seen and harvested. We have owned and managed this area for more than 25 years and our main focus has been to cull very hard on lesser quality animals. The outcome has far exceeded expectations. Located in a very remote area with little or no hunting pressure at all, this allows us to keep a very efficient game management program. In addition, the scenic beauty of the region, hilly terrain and breathtaking views paint a perfect backdrop for the hunt. Although Algar Safaris is very well known as a big game hunting company, we are pleased 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 Ríos province, just 240 km. north east from Buenos Aires. 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. Last but not least, Argentina could be referred to as a “hunting paradise”, whether it is big game what you are after, or being able to shoot thousands of rounds a day of doves and ducks. Besides being an ideal place to go hunting, Argentina is also a great tourism destination. 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 lodge has around 25 shooting fields, which are at walking distance within our own property, or at a short drive through the region’s rich farmland. This allows for more time to relax and enjoy yourself, take a nap in between hunts, refresh in our swimming pool during the hot summer days or the outdoor hot tub in cooler days and why not take a pleasant massage for your sore shoulders and limbs! 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! With the shooting fields at walking distance from the lodge, dove shooting will never be the same. You will shoot more and travel less.

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.
VERACRUZ LODGE Av OHiggins 5500 La Santina, Cordoba CP 5014 Argentina
The Shooting At 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-specific 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. In the heart of a magical environment, Veracruz offers a warm and cozy accommodation combined with the best of Argentina’s mixed bag hunting.

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. They can create special packages for family hunting vacations that are very easily made part of a longer stay in Canada with an immense number of other attractions and quality accommodation options available in the area. A typical hunt takes place over 4 days and 3 nights. This together with a location less than 2 hours driving time from Montreal International Airport makes it ideal for those who are time poor and require certainty around trophy and travel.

The new Blaser Riflescopes: www.blaser.de/blaser-optics
Hunting sets the highest demands – to the hunter himself, but also to his gear. Without the technological advancements made in the accuracy of the firearm and especially without world class optics responsible hunting would hardly be possible. For us as enthusiastic hunters, it was a formidable challenge to develop riflescopes and binoculars, that are completely tailored to the requirements of hunting.

UNITED KINGDOM Owner: Gwyn & Ann Evans BETTWS HALL Bettws Cedewain Newtown Powys SY16 3DS
Traditional driven partridge and pheasant shooting estates Bettws Hall was founded by Gwyn & Ann Evans in 1988, and has established a reputation at the forefront of driven pheasant and partridge shooting in the UK with many of the estates frequently achieving high ranking in various shooting polls. Over the past 30 years, all of our estates have grown in stature and popularity and it is for this reason that we have a loyal list of guests who return year after year. Our first class driven shooting estates are spread across Mid Wales and the English border, as well as the West of the UK. Due to the natural topography that these regions provide, combined with expertise and experience in the field, we offer the finest high driven shooting on some of the most picturesque estates the UK has to offer. At Bettws Hall we pride ourselves on the ability to provide shooting for everyone, no matter what your requirements are. From full hospitality packages across several estates and days, through to single days for individuals as part of our Individual peg days. We pride ourselves on first class hospitality worthy of the sport we present, and can offer our purpose built sporting lodges with 21 double en-suite bedrooms. Wi-Fi, sauna and a Jacuzzi along with massage treatments are a must after a day’s shooting at one of our premier estates. Finally finish your day with a glass of champagne in our state of the art gunroom, followed by fine food and exquisite wine with friends and guests.

UNITED KINGDOM OUR ESTATES; The Brigands has been in the Bettws Hall portfolio for 16 years 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. 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. Vaynor Park is a traditional parkland shoot set in Montgomeryshire in Mid Wales. Home to the Corbett-Winder family for generations, 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. Vaynor Park exudes everything that is synonymous with driven pheasant and partridge shooting in the UK. Sporting bliss, beautiful countryside and wonderful hospitality make this the jewel in our crown. The newest addition to the Bettws Hall offering, Plas Dinam encompasses in excess of 4000 acres of spectacular landscape with a mixture of open moorland, woodland, vertical hillsides and seemingly bottomless valleys. It couldn’t be more suited to creating tremendous drives for both high and challenging pheasant and partridge, making it very unpredictable for anyone who takes on this magnificent estate. Even in its infancy drives such as Penrhyllin and Big Willy’s are making their way onto the bucket list for all high bird enthusiasts. Maesmawr Hall is a 19th Century estate originally laid out as a hunting retreat and is now the home of the Trant family. The hall itself is architecturally majestic and would not look out of place in the Bordeaux region of Southern France! Drives such as ‘Forest Lodge’ and ‘Fron Green’ present tall pheasant driven from game crop and a mixture of deciduous and coniferous woodland towards guns that are located in deep valleys to ensure birds reach the line at high altitude. As with all of our estates, hospitality matched the sport, so Champagne and canape ‘elevenses’ precede a wonderful home cooked lunch back at the lodge before the afternoon of sport commences. G R E G Y N O C H A L L
Home to the Dumbell family, Kempton sits either side of the English and Welsh border in the ‘Viagra’ valley. An Iron age barrow elevates itself from the Shropshire hills and is the backdrop to some incredibly challenging pheasant and partridge on drives such as ‘Bright's’ and ‘The Oaks’. The shoot lodge stands high upon the barrow and allows panoramic views across both Welsh and English countryside which are sure to take your breath away, add to that some of the best presented birds in the country and you have an unbeatable combination. G R E G Y N O C H A L L
Gregynog Hall is an imposing Grade 1 listed Jacobean building that has sat on the same site for over 800years. The shoot is located just a stone’s throw away from Bettws Hall sporting lodges so is ideally located for access to and from breakfast and lunch by the log fire. The shoot itself utilises a long, deep valley with steep sides to present high and fast pheasant all in the shadows of the hall itself. With the aptly named ‘Middle’ along with ‘Ivors’ – is it understandable as to why this intimate shoot has a loyal following of returning guests year after year who are keen for their secret not to be revealed. G R E G Y N O C H A L L
Lying in the heart of the Exmoor national park in Somerset, Chargot Estate has forged a reputation as one of the most iconic high bird shoots in the UK, due largely in part to the deep valleys and undulating hills that present truly challenging shooting. Birds 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. A scenic shooting lodge at the centre of the estate plays host to some wonderful lunches to re-create the morning’s excitement and to anticipate the afternoon’s adventures where it is likely you will be shooting drives such as ‘Fat Hen’ or ‘Spitfire’ – the latter of which should be a good indication as to the speed and height of the pheasants!

CHÂTEAU ST MICHEL
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.

Nourris tout à fait naturellement, ils valent le coup d’œil, plusieurs faisant plus de 30 cors, certains allants jusqu’à la médaille d’or. Cette année, Antoine Feidt ouvre pour la première fois son domaine. La chasse se déroule uniquement à l’affût, sur de grands miradors ou au pirch. Les calibres recommandés sont: 300 Win - 9,3 x 62 - etc. Un permis français ou une licence est obligatoire.

UNITED KINGDOM ABERNETHY Dorback Estate sits in the heart of Speyside in Scotland, an area well known for its rich hunting history. Dorback is a rare sporting package in that it is a genuine mixed sporting estate, offering some of the most exciting driven and walked up grouse shooting in Scotland, as well as challenging stalking and an exhilarating low ground shoot, all set amidst the spectacular backdrop of the Cairngorm National Park. Dorback Estate benefits from the lifetime of experience gathered by the estate Head keeper, Brian Hamilton. Brian and his team of three keepers are true custodians of this wild and beautiful part of Scotland and can offer world class sporting opportunities. We have hunters who have been returning to Dorback for over 40 years in order to relive the premium quality sporting experience on offer. We are able to offer first class driven grouse days, with bag expectations from 60 brace of grouse upwards. The moor extends to 16,000 acres and we are able to shoot driven grouse for 5 days before returning to the same piece of ground. This allows grouse to remain undisturbed and wild, which equates to some of the most exciting and challenging driven grouse shooting available. The moor is well equipped with various lunch huts and hill bothies, including the luxurious Fae Bothy which offers an exquisite resting spot between drives. Our low ground shoot has been meticulously developed and huge investment has been made in conservation measures to provide the optimum habitat for pheasants, partridge, duck and woodcock. The variation of woodland, farmland and hill park shooting makes for a diverse and inspiring day out. We can offer mixed driven shoots from 100 bird days upwards with lunch served in one of the estate’s luxury cottages. The estate can also offer stalking opportunities in October as well as mixed sporting weeks throughout the year which may include roe stalking, walked up low ground shooting or grouse shooting over pointers.
Lodge & cottages The estate has three luxurious properties available for rent. Drum House is a large 5 bedroom (all en-suite) property which has been renovated and designed to an extremely high standard. We also have two smaller cottages, designed to an equally high standard within close proximity which can be utilised for smaller parties or overspill guests.

Our Hunting Villa lies at the heart of our 15,000 hectares of hunting grounds and is the base for our hunts. 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. This beautiful heritage building is our starting point every morning, whether we leave on foot or by helicopter after breakfast. 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. Welcome to our world

EUROPE SWEDEN Owner: Classified Manager: Johan Persson FJELLJAKT Såå 482 OUR HUNTING LODGE
The Medstugan hunting lodge was built by Carl Fredrik Liljevalch in 1896-97, and was drawn by the architect Agi Lindegren; it is located at the heart of our 16,500 hectares and is the starting point for our hunts. Over the years, Medstugan has attracted both royalty and foreign big game hunters and there is a real sense of hunting tradition in Medstugan’s walls – hunters have stayed here for over a century and a trophy cabinet bears witness to how hunting was conducted in the early 1900s. In the morning, after breakfast, we depart from this from incredible piece of history either on foot or by helicopter. Breakfast and dinner are eaten in one of our two dining rooms. The day’s hunting stories are best told around the fire in the drawing room, while the lodge’s sauna is wonderful for relaxing in after an exciting and demanding hunt.
A CULINARY EXPERIENCE
Moose, grouse, trout, reindeer, mushrooms and berries… the list could be even longer, but this one describes the food sourced from our region. And not only are these fantastic ingredients that will take you on a culinary journey through our hunting grounds, this also means we can guarantee that only the best quality food makes it to your plate. We believe that food and drink are extremely important parts of the overall hunt experience. Not least, they provide pleasure after a hard day’s hunting with good friends, but they also give us the satisfaction of knowing that we use what we shoot, making the very most of it. For us, it is also a way of respecting the game we hunt.

ITALIAN SAFARI “Italy is legendary for tourism, legendary for great food and great wine, given an year or two and it’s gonna be just as legendary for really great hunting” Craig Boddington. These are the words Craig used after a hunt with us in 2017 and we can’t find better ones to describe the experiences we strive to offer our guests! We opened Italy to international big game hunters granting access, through our network of personal relations, to the best private hunting areas in the country, still owned and hunted by the most important Italian families. We focus on free range big game hunting in different Italian regions, from Tuscany where we hunt roe deer, wild boars and others, to the Alp Mountains hosting great numbers of alpine chamois and red stags. All our hunts are tailored on the specific wishes and desires of each and every hunter: we regularly take care of trophy hunters from all over the world, groups of friends wishing to live the Italian countryside, companies offering their clients an exclusive hunting experience. “Successful hunters and happy wives” Italy offers, more than every other country in the world, the opportunity to combine quality hunting with unique tourism, being therefore the ideal destination for hunters travelling with their families. Together with our guests we design tours across art cities like Florence, Rome or Venice, the romantic Tuscan hills or northern lakes, exploring the culinary traditions and wines, fashion and traditions: we want our guests to experience not only what Italy is visited for, but what Italy is loved for! Even more, in our Italian Safari Privè tours, you will find the essence of “Experience Italy as we live it”.

Dining in a private palace with the owning family, visit the factory of an Italian Supercar, enter the Sistine Chapel after the closing hour or brought yourself to the balcony overlooking the Siena’s Palio: this is how we would like to show you Italy.

Manager: Guillaume Le Berre DOMAINE DE MURTOLI Vallée de l'ortolo 20100 Sartene
Located in the extreme south of Corsica, between the old towns of Sartène and Bonifacio, nestled between sea, forests, hills and mountains, the Domaine de Murtoli is a very discreet address which presents an original vision of how a high standard hotel can operate tastefully and harmoniously amidst a reserve of natural wild beauty. The Domaine de Murtoli is a very unique hotel concept rising spectacularly above the Mediterranean. Once passed the inconspicuous wrought iron gate, Murtoli gradually – modestly – reveals itself along the curves of its 50 kilometers of tracks. The five-star hotel – the only one in Corsica open throughout the year – is exceptional not only because of the sheer size of its wonderful grounds but also because the lucky few who have the privilege to stay here are not accommodated in rooms or suites, but rather in dwellings, large landlord villas or shepherd's houses, all restored from the 17th century and scattered around the estate. And amongst this classic Corsican wilderness, it is possible in one day to fish in the sea thanks to the estate's 22-feet boat, or fish the endemic trout in a river, go hunting, ride a horse, enjoy the summer spa or play our 12-hole golf course designed by Kyle Phillips.

Murtoli is not just a hotel. It is first and foremost a daily working farm with the desire to get the best out of the soils in the most natural way to bring the produce of the farm fresh and direct to the guests’ plates. Gardens on site offer their own production of fruits, vegetables and herbs, that you can even harvest yourself and take it for a meal back at your shepherds’ cottage. A small cheese factory where traditional varieties of Corsican cheeses – including tomme and brocciu – are produced.

World class Roebucks in Skane, South Sweden 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. Scandinavian Prohunters have the best privately owned properties in the Southern part of Sweden / Skane where we every year shoot big gold medal bucks.

Unique Geese shooting In Skåne, we can offer fantastic goose hunting on and around our hunting lodge Markie Hage. The best conditions for these hunts are often difficult to predict, but when the big migration of birds are coming to our areas we are then normally seeing ten thousands of geese in a day, so those who are lucky enough to be able to participate may be rewarded with the goose hunt of their lives. There are no bag limit so every year we are having days with 200 plus geese in a day!

High flying Ducks Scandinavian Prohunters arrange hunts which take place at some of the best estates in Sweden. The shoot will take place in big waters and lakes which makes that the quality of the birds are very high and challenging. They are normally fully booked a year in advance so, if you plan to hunt in any of these places, make sure that you book in good time. Rough shooting Every year, Scandinavian Prohunters arranges a small number of exclusive hunts. We use the very best dog handlers and hunt at the fantastic castle of Markie Hage in order to be able to provide a fulfilling and comprehensive HUNTING experience. It’s a mixed hunt of partridge with pointer dog, take-off and flight for ducks and, depending on the season, small drives for pheasant. Moose – with dogs Sneaking up on a moose the hunting dogs have cornered is one of the most exciting hunting experiences you will ever have. No matter what or where you have hunted in the world, your pulse will spike when you close in on a moose. You must go into the wind as quietly as possible, and always know where the dog is. You must also quickly determine if any animals are slipping away from the area. 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.

AN DALUCIA SPAIN Owner: Classified Contact: Bruno van Marcke CORTIJO SOTO REAL 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”. 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

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 beauty-center, 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.

Owner: Ardnamurchan Estates Manager: Niall Rowantree
In spring 2016 Mingary Castle will lowered its drawbridge for the first time in 150 years. Having crossed the drawbridge you enter the courtyard via a stone entrance way, turning the corner you are suddenly surrounded by the tall white walls of the three ranges. Entering the North range by the main door you are greeted by the warm oak panelling and Caithness stone flooring that runs throughout the entire ground floor. Climbing to the first floor you will find the large cosy sitting room with hot refreshments and cake to welcome you after your journey. Heading to the bedrooms on the second floor you find the MacIain room, the largest bedroom in the North range. It has two windows looking out to the courtyard, an en suite marble bathroom with a copper bath and its very own dressing room. Across the hallway the MacDougall bedroom, with half height panelling and crewel fabric lined walls is an intimate space. A small doorway cuts through the castle wall and leads to the most spectacular bathroom which has been created within the intramural passage way; nicknamed 'The Chapel' bathroom it has been said there is an old altar at the end of the room where the walk in shower now resides. The top floor, occupied by the McCain Suite is flooded with daylight, with views over the castle curtain wall to the sound of Mull and beyond. The two bedrooms with their hand crafted four poster beds have direct access to the battlement walkways and share a family bathroom, with marble walls and views to the stars.

PA C I F I C AUSTRALIA Owner: Graham Williams Australian Buffalo Hunters – Classic Safaris
AUSTRALIAN BUFFALO HUNTERS
True Wilderness: We specialize in Australia’s best Buffalo hunting with highly productive wilderness concessions and Arnhem land and the Northern Territory. Large herds of Water Buffalo, some Scrub Bull (wild ox) and occasional Wild Boar. The grassy plains, rolling hills and fertile valleys produce excellent 90-105 SCI Buffalo bulls, most around 40” -45” spread and some around 50” tip to tip because of the open Savana. The thicker bush of the creeks, rivers and streams offer exciting close up dangerous game action. Australia’s Best Buffalo Hunting: Every year hunters say this is awesome, some say the world’s best kept secret. Here you can hunt on foot and see up to a hundred Water Buffalo each day, sometimes more. These numbers give you the opportunity to pass up good Buffalo until you get an exceptional trophy size bull, and many hunters shoot an additional bull or perhaps a huge old dugga boy with broken horns. We also arrange excellent free range Banteng hunting in true wilderness. Banteng are a unique, beautiful and tough animal that can be wary and difficult to hunt. The area is fertile country with good feed and producing excellent trophies.

Large canvas tents, canvas bag shower, camp toilets, bunk beds, safari chairs, wood tables, quality meals, a cold beer, excellent Coonawarra wines, smooth whiskey and ice. Hot, dusty and hard work. Not a luxury Tanzania camp with extra staff, but real hunters will enjoy our old style safari camps. Excellent Service: Real hunting, real adventure, honest, ethical and professional service. No ranches, no helicopters. I am a dedicated Life Member of IPHA, SSAA and SCI, and member of DSC, ADA, SWH&C. Let us plan your next Australian hunting adventure, and assist with your touring, travel and fishing plans. Best season: June, July, August.
See you in the bush, Safe hunting, Graham Williams PH.

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.

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.
info@cardronasafaris.com www.cardronasafaris.com
We take pride in providing eye-catching heads with sizable mass, great width and strong scoring points. We know that the attraction of a trophy is according to individual tastes and therefore have a wide variety of animals to suit all preferences. 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. Our country is renowned for breathtaking beauty, friendly locals and the incredible range of activities and adventures on offer to its visitors. Within driving distance of our hunting areas there’s truly something for everyone – from laidback sightseeing to adrenaline-fueled exploits. This makes New Zealand the ideal hunting holiday destination for the whole family. 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.Owner & Manager

FISHING
CARDRONA SAFARIS NEW ZEALAND
Many fly fishermen travel the world in search of opportunities to catch big wild trout. While this search might take them all over the globe, New Zealand is one of the rare places where an array of fly fishing experiences are available in an easy-to-access, California-sized chunk of land.
Cardrona Terraces
Flying over a breathtaking saddle or pass in the mountains, and then up or down a river to a landing spot is always highly memorable. After you get dropped off and the “bird” leaves, a notable silence will descend, reminding you that you are in the middle of nowhere and the only sounds of the day will be the movement of water, the breeze in the trees, and the splash of a leaping fish miraculously attached to your line. By 5 or 6pm or whatever time you arranged, the distant sound of the helicopter begins to get louder and it finds you a few miles upstream, standing on a gravel bar with lots of room for a safe landing, and you’ll shortly be flying back to dinner with a few stories to share.
New Zealand
Sparkling streams, staggering landscapes - angling in New Zealand is equal parts challenging and rewarding, placing you firmly at one with nature. Helicopter fishing trips offer a wide variety of exclusive opportunities off the beaten track. Our skilful pilots will deposit you deep inland or up in the mountains, stalking some of the biggest trout in the country. Many rivers overshadowed by their larger counterparts, that would take days to walk to, fly mostly under the radar – you could be the first to fish their untouched waters all season. This is the sort of extraordinary experience that makes happy anglers return year after year to visit Venator. The lodge, guides, and helicopter company all work together to make sure that the rivers get well rested between visits to help ensure great expeditions. Here, you can base yourself our luxury lodge Cardrona Terraces, taking off right in front of your room and being whisked back in time for a sumptuous dinner. The beauty of New Zealand is that you’re only ever a short drive or flight away from countless other spectacular sights and activities. A day of fishing is easily followed by a day of golfing, kayaking, hiking, or wining and dining.
