Foreword of the founder Hunters and anglers are conservationists… You heard this statement before and some large hunting organizations even claim that hunters are the largest contributors to wildlife causes. It is true that catch and release has become the norm with the sporting fishermen over time. Last Christmas I experienced myself the positive impact of this philosophy, when I fished the world record bronze whaler shark from the beaches of Henties Baai (Namibia). A big crowd (see page xxx) witnessed my 3h45min fight and loudly voiced their approval when, after measuring and photographs, I released the shark back into the sea. Next day the local press spend more words on the release than on the catch, but more importantly they were inciting the local sports fishermen to do likewise as the general public judges the gesture as a positive attitude towards conservation. Another event which also influenced my thinking on conservation seriously this year was a meeting with Mark Rose the CEO of Fauna & Flora International. This conservation organization is the oldest and one of the largest worldwide, operating on projects for wildlife protection in 140 different countries. Amongst others, their Nyassa National Park (Mozambique) is an example for everyone that conservation and hunting can indeed work hand in hand. FFI is managing the park in a difficult post-war environment and decided early on that organized culling and trophy shooting in collaboration with the hunter’s community in more than one third of the park made perfectly sense for a sound balance of the wildlife stock in the park. Later on it became also clear that through this collaboration a much better poaching control was in place than in any neighboring park. All pro’s and anti’s should study this situation as today their eternal fight only works well for the poachers and no one else. Both happenings bring me back to my favorite message to all hunting and fishing sportsmen…please invest time into teaching your children or grandchildren to appreciate our great sport as they will need to stay in touch with nature to balance out the side-effects of the digital era.

Bruno van Marcke

Dear Hunters, dear Friends,

Foreword of the founder

Nature is a master to us all and it gifts us with changing colors and smells that are fluid with the passing of the seasons. We learn through nature and share remarkable experiences with our friends and family, and it provokes emotions incomparable with anything else. At Holland & Holland we value the work of Magic Safari Lodges, which reflects the true values of nature, and of our sport. My belief is that conservation and ethical hunting codes are invaluable for our Animal Kingdom to continue to flourish and preserve this age old way of life. Through education we must strive to teach our younger generation the same respect that we had instilled upon ourselves. Niels van Rooyen Holland & Holland

I will always remember the first time I got in contact with the Magic Safari Lodges book. Starting going through the pages, the book transported me to destinations I was dreaming to discover. I had a feeling of quiteness and emotion. At Leica, we look at the Magic Safari Lodges as the finest places where to go hunting and fishing around the world. The Magic Safari Lodges are a universe of beauty, authenticity and passion. They represent a way of life for many hunters and fishermen. They engage you as you would dream to experience your hunting or fishing moments. They propose you the very unique experience you have always been looking for. A good partnership is always driven by common values. Meeting with Laurent Huwart, a owner of MSL, I quickly understood that our companies were on the same path. We are passionate about what we do. We believe in delivering the very best experiences and to achieve this purpose, we refuse compromise. We see hunting as a shared passion for nature and adventures. I wanted to thank Magic Safari Lodges for their strong involvement in defending the values of hunting and fishing. I thank as well each lodge presented in the book for their commitment in proposing state of the art experiences. We, at Leica, are proud to be your partner and we hope it will last for many more years. Cyril Thomas Leica Camera

Leica Sport Optics. For most demanding situations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been almost 20 years that I hunt abroad; I decided 5 years ago to focus on mountain game, since then I have hunted different species from Asia to North America and in Europe. Thanks to the reliability in all circumstances of the Leica Magnus scope and Leica Geovid HD all these hunts were successful. That is why Leica is my choice when it comes to optics for hunting.â&#x20AC;?

Wild Hunting Company >>

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. 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.

Africa

African Trackers Cameroon Cameroon is at the heart of the Dark Continent. It offers all wildlife habitats known to Africa. For the hunter/ collector it offers the ultimate challenge with the Lord Derby Eland in the savannah and the Bongo in the rainforest. Cameroon offers four different spiral-horned antelopes: Lord Derby Eland, Bongo, Harnessed Bushbuck and Forest Sitatunga. Besides these animals, there are two types of buffalo, savannah and dwarf, as well as savannah and forest elephants, and the largest number of duiker species in one country… Basically, Cameroon offers the largest antelope (Lord Derby) and the smallest (Bates pygmy antelope) and quite a few stunning species in between. All huntable species in Cameroon can be hunted with African tracks on our privately owned hunting blocks. Our safaris guarantee a 100% success rate on our flagship species. We organise the safari from the moment you book to the delivery of the trophies for your trophy room. We assist in all administrative matters (visa, import of rifles), meet and greet our guests at the airport, and handle plane tickets, security and export of trophies. Our hunting areas are carefully monitored, have permanent anti-poaching programmes and continue to deliver recordable trophies and unique hunting experiences.

Cameroon

Owner: Koen Maes Manager: Koen Maes

Having conducted safaris all over the African continent, I returned to Cameroon because of the quality of the hunting. Basically, I wanted to share the ultimate hunting experience: “hunt on track”. This allows me to share with the hunter my knowledge of tracking, the intense contact with nature and the close contact with the game. A once-in-a-lifetime hunting experience !! The hunting season in the savannah is from late December to mid-May and in the rainforest from March to mid-July. Our stone-built camps are equipped to modern standards with air-conditioning. Our cars are tuned to provide the ultimate experience in suspension, comfort and safety. Our staff consist of carefully selected trackers and pygmies with whom we have developed a strong bond over years of hunting. Our skinners are trained by visiting taxidermists to ensure perfect in-field preparation of trophies, and we handle the delivery of trophies to your destination. At the request of our hunters, we can contact the best taxidermists worldwide who can immortalise your trophies in unforgettable memories. We hunt with the quality of your trophy room as our objective!! Try booking with the PH who is in the field for you!!

AM Safaris Tanzania As a professional hunter for many years, my first hunting season was back in 1988. I have been working mostly in Tanzania. I also travelled through many other African countries, such as Senegal, Cameroun (both bush and forest), Centrafrican Republic, Benin and Tanzania (both Selous and Massai country). All these experiences I have lived through the years led me to guide other hunters in western, eastern, central and austral countries of Africa. I offer to my hunters to be guided in Tanzania through the hunting reserves of Selous, Masai country. In Tanzania, hunting mostly concerns big cats, such as lion, leopards, elephant and Caffer buffalo or hippoptamus. There is also a great number of antelopes in the Masai country and in the south of Tanzania. Territories on which I guide my hunters have no secrets for us. This leads us to the best results possible in matter of hunting, and therefore we suggest the best dates and the best camps for our hunters, according to their needs and to the particular animals they are looking for. Masai Land Located in the heart of the Rift, the Masai country is delimited by large and semi-arid up north, by the wet yet refreshing Lake Victoria at west, dry steppes of Tsavo in the east and by the low tropical lands of Dodoma, the “geological shield” of Tanzania. Landscapes in our two different areas of hunting are numerous and offer either mountains, great plains, shrubby bush and a very dense savannah where thorny trees make the heaven for the little koudou. It’s on our territories that the “Great Cats” of Africa have decided to settle, fact that will definitely enjoy our hunters: slender leopards and majestic lions are numerous and live together on this great land. You won’t find a happier man and tracker than a Dorobo (the Massai tracker) when you tell him that you have come to his land to hunt a lion or a leopard, for as the two predators are the number one enemies of the Massai people. And once, they used to hunt lions with lances in order to prove to the group their leadership. Cosy yet luxurious, our camps are designed to offer our clients the best confort that they may look for after their long hunts in the bush. The safaris I organise in the Masai country last 21 days, and the hunting seasons go from July to the end of December. The 15 days safaris are organised

Tanzania

Owner: Arnaud Mermet Manager: Arnaud Mermet

between January and March. I also offer to the hunters who want to spend their 21 days safari on different areas, the possibility to hunt on both territories of the Masai country and the reserve of Selous. Selous game reserve With the beautiful Rufiji River and its two affluent, the Kilombero river and the Luwengu river, the reserve Selous is the most water supplied region in East Africa, besides from being the biggest reserve in Africa, and probably the most beautiful one. The concentration and the variety of animals makes it the second most rich animal life of all Africa’s reserves, just after the Serengeti. The 55 000 km2 of territory are part of the total of 75 000 km2 of the Selous ecosystem and include the National park of Mikumi and other uninhabited areas in the North, such as the Kilombero. Tanzania houses more elephants than any other country in Africa. The territory in Selous on which we hunt is located in the south of the reserve and is large 25 000 acres, which represents approximately one half of this immense reserve. The south blocks on which we hunt are considered as the most prestigious ones in all Africa for hunting “Big Cats”. During a 21-days safari, it’s often possible to get an elephant, leopard, buffalo’s and also a lion all at once. These 39 years of our presence on the same territory led us to elaborate a very strict and confident management plan with the Game Department of Tanzania, which includes both regional development of various reserves within our territory and the qualitative searching of animals. Our techniques of hunting include the meeting, the tracking, and the calling as far as the lion is concerned. All our trackers are Dorobos, from the Masai country (see the page “Masai country”)

Daggaboy Hunting Safaris Namibia Although based in Namibia, Daggaboy Hunting Safaris offers hunts in the rest of Africa as well, particularly for returning clients who are looking for those special trophies that do not occur in 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 hourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drive from the Hosea Kutako International Airport.

Namibia

Owner: Dawid Muller Manager: Dawid Muller

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.

Hunt & Fish Namibia Namibia Namibia has the largest diversity of biotopes in all of Africa, ranging from deserts such as the Kalahari and the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Out of Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 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 fly-camps 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. Affiliations:

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.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best season for hunting? There is no good, better or best time. There is only a period that is less comfortable because of high temperatures and a period less favourable to hunting. Therefore, we suggest:

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!

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.

Hunting begins either on foot or by jeep. However, when fresh tracks or animals are spotted, stalking on foot presents an exciting challenge. Riffle, shotgun, pistol or bow may be used. When an animal is shot it is immediately transported to the camp to be skinned and treated in preparation for the trophy. For avid trophy hunters there is a void in certain African Animal species. Rhinoland has filled that gap my making available the much sought after trophies of White Rhino, Blesbok, Waterbuck, Zebra, Nyala, Kudu, Gemsbok, Warthog, Sable Antelope, Impala, land and many others. The farm is not only known for its picture or hunter safaris, but also for its fishing opportunities. Rhinoland conducts safaris throughout the year depending on your particular requirements.

Species available: Widely known and recognized as one of the most beautiful and most difficult hunts in the world, the pursuit of a GIANT ELAND is always a great adventure. With Safaria’s dense population of wildlife, visitors encounter these animals regularly and can bring home high quality trophies. The very timid ROAN ANTELOPE, although less numerous than the eland, can be seen throughout the territory. Found throughout most of Africa, the LEOPARD is not a rare animal. However, there are not many hunting areas that offer the opportunity to shoot a very big leopard… Our land is one of these rare places.

La densité importante d’Elands à la Safaria permet au chasseur des rencontres régulières et la récolte de trophées de très bonne qualité. Les plus grandes Antilopes Roannes se trouvent en RCA et, bien que moins nombreuses que les Elands de Derby, ces antilopes discrètes sont bien présentes. On rencontre le Léopard dans beaucoup de pays africains, mais les endroits qui offrent de réelles chances de prélever un gros spécimen sont rares.

Abaco Lodge Abaco Island, Bahamas The “Marls of Abaco” are a vast expanse of prime, wilderness bonefish habitat, situated along the western shore of Great Abaco Island in the Bahamas. The Marls have long been known by well traveled bone fishermen as one of the most unique and productive fisheries in the Bahamas. Abaco has more than 400 square miles of flats, none better known than the Marls on the western side of the island. Abaco lodge is centrally located directly on the Marl side of the island with access to them all. For twenty miles the average depth is four feet, a bone fisherman couldn’t ask for a better backyard. It would take a lifetime to fish the entire Marls alone but Abaco also offers some incredible fishing on the eastern ocean side of the island as well. “Abaco Lodge” has now been added to Nervous Waters portfolio of the finest properties to host our first guests, April 20th, 2009. As with all Nervous Waters properties, you can expect comfortable and well appointed accommodations, world class cuisine, top of the line boats operated by seasoned, expert guides, and a management & staff committed to providing the utmost in service and attention to detail. The fishing The Marls encompass more than 400 square miles of flats on the west side of Abaco. For twenty miles the average depth is four feet. The lodge is centrally located directly on the Marl side of the island with access to them all. It would take a lifetime to fish the entire Marls alone but Abaco also offers some incredible fishing on the eastern ocean side of the island as well. Cherokee Sound, the Bight of Robinson and Snake Cay are minutes from the lodge and offer opportunities at some of the largest bonefish. This location gives our guests easy access to the flats, whilst providing many sheltered locations irrespective of wind direction, within the interior of the Marls. In

addition, from Abaco Lodge, guests have the opportunity to try for occasional Permit, Tarpon and Snook, as well as offshore and reef species such as Wahoo, Tuna, Dorado, (Seasonal Billfish), Snapper, Barracuda and Grouper. Fishing areas The typical trip does not fish on arrival or departure but we can arrange for a half day fishing if your flights allow. Breakfast is severed at 7; we leave the dock at 8 and return between 4 and 5. This schedule can be tailored to your needs with advance notice. Picnic lunches and cold drinks are taken to the flats in a cooler by your guide. We access the Marls directly from the lodge dock; the flats on the ocean side require a short drive. All of the skiffs are equipped with padded seats with a backrest and a lean bar in the front. The majority of the fishing is done from the boat but wading opportunities exist if you prefer. Runs to the flats vary from 10 to 45 minutes. The bonefish on the Marls average 2-4 pounds with the occasional shot at bigger fish. The ocean side flats offer opportunities as some of the largest bonefish in the Bahamas but they are incredibly wary creatures. The Bahamas are primarily a bonefishery and Abaco is no different. There are the occasional shots at permit, tarpon, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cudas, jacks, and sharks and we recommend you bring the appropriate tackle just in case. There is nothing like seeing a 20 lb permit tailing or the juvenile tarpon cruising the flat and not having the right gear set up. In addition to the wonderful flats fishing Abaco has incredible blue water fishing. We are happy to coordinate a day or two with the best captains available in search of marlin, sailfish, dorado, wahoo, or tuna depending on the season. Arrangements can be made at the lodge but the best captains book early and we recommend you do as well. There will be an additional charge for this fishing.

Bair’s Lodge South Andros, Bahamas Since men have fished for bonefish, Andros has been a name synonymous with the biggest fish, and South Andros has built a reputation over the years as being the location to try for a ‘giant’. Names like Grassy Creek, Deep Creek, Little Creek, the Water Cays and Curley Cut Cays are intrinsically linked to sight fishing for some of the world’s largest bonefish. Ideally situated midway between the South Bite and Curly Cut Cays, Bair’s Lodge accesses some of the most remote flats, whilst also providing many sheltered locations irrespective of wind direction. Since the early 90’s Bair’s has become highly regarded as providing the best fishing South Andros has to offer. The lodge has also come to represent the bench mark in terms of quality guiding, delicious food, comfortable accommodations and courteous hospitality. The fishing Andros has long been synonymous with the biggest bonefish in the Caribbean. The South and more particularly, West of the Island have built the reputation as the place to try for a ‘Giant’. The flats in Andros are some of the largest and most varied in the world, offering both opportunities to wade or fish from the boat, in the ocean flats or creeks and bights. This incredible choice of classic bone-fishing environments, as well as the numbers and size of the bonefish is what makes South Andros the bone-fishing capital of the world. Bair’s Lodge, famed for its access to the vast and largely under-fished flats of the South and West, is strategically situated between

the South Bight and Water Cays, near Little Creek. This location gives our guests easy access to the flats of the South, whilst providing many sheltered locations irrespective of wind direction, within the interior of the Island. In addition, from Bair’s Lodge, guests have the opportunity to try for occasional Permit, Tarpon and Snook, as well as offshore and reef species such as Wahoo, Tuna, Dorado,(Seasonal Billfish), Snapper, Barracuda and Grouper. Fishing areas Every morning, you step out of the lodge into a boat, and can be fishing within a few minutes, or you can choose to ride further a-field to explore the more remote, pristine white sand flats Andros is famous for. Deep Creek and Little Creek a few minutes run from the lodge, open into large bay areas dotted with many small cays, where there are always flats that offer protection from the wind. Both creeks allow access to the fabled West Side and other remote Cays to the South and South-West that may provide lucky anglers with the possibility of trying for Permit and Tarpon to complete the famous “Grand Slam”. The Southern flats are home to some of the largest schools of bonefish. Grassy Creek is a 40 min boat ride from the lodge. Weather permitting you can ride to Hawksbill Point and onto Cistern Point. This area sees little fishing pressure and is regarded as the place to come for numbers of fish. The flats stretch as far as the eye can see and wading next to these huge schools is the experience of a lifetime.

Futa Lodge Tenth Region, Futaleufú, Chile Across the border from Esquel in Argentina, and deep into the coyhue forests of the tenth region of Chile flow the azure depths of the Futaleufu river. A world away from the hustle and bustle that even sleepy Esquel represents, the “Big River” (for this is how Futaleufu translates from the tehuelche tongue) rolls along, amid some of the most unspoilt mountain scenery on the planet. South of the Chilean lake district, Futaleufu is a stand-alone fishery. The freestone giant grows healthy stocks of rainbow and brown trout that are fed by abundant hatches of mayfly, caddis and stoneflies. A heavy resident stock of fish and great hatches, combined with classic fly water, make the Futaleufu a trout fisherman’s paradise. The Fish The fishing at Futa lodge is largely based on the Futaleufu River, which flows right by the lodge’s front door. In addition there are some smaller rivers close by that are fished and some local lakes. For those wishing to diversify further we work closely with an outfit on the Argentine side of the border who can arrange excellent dry-fly and nymph fishing on a host of rivers near to Esquel. The Browns and Rainbows of the Futaleufu River and the catchment area as a whole were stocked from European and American stock in the early 19th Century. The fish on the Futaleufu River in particular have gone on to establish an extremely healthy population that is the envy of wild trout fisheries the world over.

Chile

Owner: Nervous Waters

Seasonal expeditions from Futaleufu will also encompass some of the further flung lakes and coastal fishing areas. A large number of Chilean rivers play host to anadromous fish as well which every year grow in numbers as the fish themselves develop wild strains from the original escapee stock that first ran these rivers. Principal species encountered are Chinook and Silver Salmon with a few sea-run browns and rainbows. Fishing Methods A lot of the fishing at Futa Lodge is taken on float trips from the lodge and your guide will position you in productive areas of the drift or alternatively stop you on the shore so you can get out and wade. All methods will have their moment and you may find yourself searching the shoreline for browns with a big streamer one minute only to be fishing for selective rainbows on the surface the next. Water levels can change from week to week and the water generally drops as the season progresses. Vary your presentation markedly in each area fished until you and your guide find the formula that works best there. Pay close attention to the advice of your guide, whose primary aim is to recommend the methods that will help you hook and bring your fish to the net.

Selecting which gun to take all comes down to personal preference. Autoloaders are popular, as are over/under or side-by-side guns. With Rosy-Billed Pochards, Pintails, and other “big” ducks being the prevalent species in Argentina, 12 gauge is the gun of choice. Chokes are probably more open than you’d imagine - decoy ducks are generally at close range, and improved cylinder is about right. If you prefer not to bring a gun, we have Benelli autoloaders that you are welcome to use during your stay. Ducks There are 12 common species in this area of Argentina, which is an area called the central lowlands, or wet pampas. A fine book on all of the bird species, including the waterfowl, is Tito Narosky’s Birds of Argentina and Uruguay, which is available in many bookstores and online retailers. In order of abundance you should see these ducks as they are listed below. Almost all whistle, except for the Pochard which purrs, or burrs, like the Canvasback.

Kau Tapen Lodge Rio Grande, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina Kau-Tapen (“house of fishing” in the Ona language) is the original fishing lodge in Tierra del Fuego and the standard of elegance by which other lodges are measured. What started as the brainchild of Jorge Donovan and Jacqueline De Las Carreras over twenty years ago has revolutionized the way the fishing world views big trout. And, while the name Kau-Tapen might be cumbersome to newcomers, this lodge has made the Rio Grande a household name for fly anglers the world over. Impeccable accommodation, plenty of elbow room on the Río Grande, caring guides, select vehicles and equipment, Argentina’s best wines and menus, and enviable fishing records since 1984. All great reasons to come and be a part of Kau-Tapen’s history yourself. The Fish The first brown trout were stocked in Tierra del Fuego by John Goodall in 1935. Shipped from Puerto Montt in Chile, 60,000 ‘salmo trutta’ eggs survived the arduous journey to be planted on the Candelaria and McLennan rivers, both tributaries of the Rio Grande. These fish eventually found their way to the sea, possibly attracted by the rich nourishment of the estuary.

Argentina

Owner: Nervous Waters

These sea-run brown trout now complete the yearly migratory cycle of salmonids, spawning during the summer months in freshwater. Salmo trutta trutta remain in the river for a period of time (ranging between 1 and 4 years) until their first migration to the sea, where they will feed and grow for about 6 months before their first return to freshwater, weighing approximately 6lbs. Researchers have found trout that had spawned more than 6 times. A trout that has completed four cycles of returning to freshwater can weigh over 20lbs. The frequency with which they return to freshwater is also an indicator that the fish face very few threats - whilst also providing a very real example of the benefits of Catch and Release. Guides Kau Tapen has a team of experienced, professional international guides. They are all English speakers, and will be able to offer tips on how to best fish each pool, fly choice and presentation. They are there to make your fishing more productive and enjoyable.

Los Crestones Lodge Buenos Aires, Argentina Building on our tradition of excellence, the David Denies Wingshooting family is proud to announce the addition of an exciting new hunting property for the 2011 hunting season. Located in the Province of Buenos Aires, just 85 minutes from the Ezeiza International airport, Los Crestones Lodge, was named for the Rosy Billed Pochard-Argentinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most distinctive and sought-after duck. Set in a mature parkland and surrounded by fertile countryside, Los Crestones will offer discerning guests a combination of decoyed ducks followed by perdiz over dogs. For those who appreciate shooting behind a well trained dog, Los Crestones is special. Your host, Claudio Villalba, has been breeding and training pedigree sporting dogs for 25 years, and they are a joy to see in the fields and in the marshes. On duck hunts, you will be accompanied by a team of well trained Retrievers, making sure that lightly hit birds are recovered. The perdiz (a prized Argentine game bird) will be shot over German Short-Hairs and English Pointers. Watching them work is a joy in itself.

Several of our guides at Los Crestones are experienced big game hunting guides, and know these private land areas well. They can organize a hunt and provide an accurate loaner rifle. They will also guide bowhunters, but we suggest you allow more time if you’d like to pursue either specie with the bow.

Pira Lodge Esteros del Iberra, Corrientes, Argentina For many years one of Latin America’s most exciting game fish was kept a secret in its heartland. In the last few years the golden dorado, or ‘river tiger’ as it is affectionately known has rocketed to the top of the hot fish list. Throughout much of its range, the dorado is caught in coloured or murky waters and generally with heavy spinning tackle. But since the discovery of the Iberia marshland and the establishment of Pira Lodge, clear water fishing on light spinning tackle and on fly rods has become one of the worlds most sought after angling adventures. Opened in March 2000, Pira lodge is the world’s first deluxe lodge to target the freshwater dorado. The lodge is located in the Iberia marshland, one of the most unique and fascinating wetlands in the world. The incomparable variety of wildlife found in the 3,000,000 acre marshland allows anglers to combine fishing with a number of other activities. However, it is the electric take and dazzling fight of the dorado that brings fishermen back year after year. Climate The dorado season runs from November to May. The Ibera area is subtropical, similar to northern Florida in the U.S. December and January are the hottest months, with temperatures up to 95 degrees. Towards the end of March the temperature cools down, ranging from 55 to 85 degrees, with mornings and evenings cool and comfortable.

The Fishing There is little written on Dorado fishing on the fly. This is an exciting fishing frontier. Our guides have been exploring the area and Dorado fishing itself for more years than most. Their advice will help you maximize your enjoyment of this incredible fighting fish. The Dorado, (salminus maxillosus), is an aggressive fish, and once hooked makes impressive and acrobatic multiple jumps. This complex fish can be found near confluences, on edges of eddies, riffles, sharp bends in the current, and close to overhanging carpets of water hyacinth. It can be fished in narrow runs, on skinny water, large fish have been hooked in the deep runs, so let your guide show you the multitude of ever-changing locations where you can make contact with these fish. The Lodge Pira has 5 spacious twin bedrooms with large double beds, air conditioning and ensuite bathrooms. Large french windows open out on to a shady veranda from where to enjoy the sounds and sights of the surrounding marshes. Evenings are spent in the large living room and adjoining bar before moving on to the dining room to enjoy delicious meals cooked by your chef, which include ArgentinaÂ´s famed beef and the best wines. The lodge also has a 25m pool for a welcome cooling swim after your fishing session.Â´

The Shooting Shooting at San Juan offers a variety of game that makes Uruguay a very unique destination, where hunters can enjoy the pursuit of an upland mixed bag in the same day, each and every day. Each morning you will hunt wild partridge or perdiz in short grass pastures, and over pointers and English Setters, or ducks and big wild pigeons by decoying in lagoons and ponds nearby. In the afternoons, volume dove shooting is on the shooting schedule, and normally doves are encountered, in large numbers, on a flyway enroute to a large roost that is very close to estancia San Juan Estancia (just a few minutes). Everyday you will drive to the perdiz fields or to the lagoons for duck and pigeon hunting and return for lunch at the lodge, or stay for a BBQ, the “asado”, done in the field by the staff. The afternoon shoot (normally high volume dove shooting, sometimes ducks and pigeon) will start after lunch, and will end at dusk. Each evening you will return to the lodge for cocktails and dinner. Your host and guide, as well as bird boys, will be with you to provide you with challenging shooting, and other necessities such as shotgun shells, refreshments and anything else you may need. Drive time to hunt locations is usually between 10 and 35 minutes for the perdiz, ducks or pigeon fields, and from 5 up to 35 minutes for the dove shooting.

San Pedro Lodge Paysandú, Uruguay Located in the province of Paysandu, San Pedro Lodge is a living example of the elegance of a bygone era. It is a sprawling estate home that dates back almost two hundred years, to a time when fine ranch homes were centers of rural family life. They were also centers of agriculture, they proved family and workers with homes, stores, and a place to worship. In addition to ample living areas, San Pedro also has a chapel on the ground that dates to the 19th century. The chapel’s architecture dates from Victorian England, and was designed to resemble the Liverpool Chapels. Inside, it holds a magnificent vitraux named for “Capilla del Buen Pastor”. In these modern times, shooting guests will also appreciate that San Pedro lodge has quick and excellent access to both sides of the biggest dove roosts in Uruguay. The ranch is also located near a vast network of lagoons and rivers in the most important agricultural area of Uruguay. This creates the best possible conditions for resident and migrating ducks, while acre upon acre of short pasture fields offers perfect habitat for the perdiz. San Pedro Lodge offers the convenience of shooting all these game birds in Uruguay from just one destination, with the assurance of a world class outfitter known for attention to detail, quality, and reliability.

Villa Maria Rio Grande, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina The second of the de las Carreras family lodges to open on Rio Grande after Kau Tapen, Villa Maria has offered small private groups exciting fishing on some of the most productive pools in the lower river since 1994. A very different fishery to Kau Tapen or Toon Ken on the upper river, Villa Maria is a double handed fishermen’s dream, enjoying the first crack of the whip at newly arrived sea trout. With friendly and dedicated house staff and guides, Villa Maria is very well suited to caring for small groups of friends or family groups. Climate The Sea trout season runs from November to mid April. December and January are the warmest months, and traditionally the windiest. The sun can be strong during the day, but the wind chill factor makes the use of protective gear necessary all season long. The Fishing The sea run brown trout The first brown trout were stocked in Tierra del Fuego by John Goodall in 1935. Shipped from Puerto Montt in Chile, 60,000 ‘salmo trutta’ eggs survived the ardous journey, to be planted on the Candelaria and McLennan rivers, both tributaries of the Rio Grande. These fish eventually found their way to the sea, possibly attracted by the rich nourishment of the estuary.

Argentina

Owner: Nervous Waters

These sea-run brown trout now complete the yearly migratory cycle of salmonids, spawning during the summer months in freshwater. Salmo trutta trutta remain in the river for a period of time which ranges between 1 and 4 years until their first migration to the sea, where they will feed and grow for about 6 months before their first return to freshwater, weighing approximately 6lbs. Researchers have found trout which had spawned more than 6 times. A trout which has completed 4 cycles of returning to freshwater can weigh over 20 lbs. The frequency with which they return to freshwater is also an indicator that the fish face very few threats, whilst also providing a very real example of the benefits of Catch and Release. Guides Villa Maria has a team of experienced, professional international guides. They are all English speakers, and will be able to offer tips on how to best fish each pool, fly choice and presentation. They are there to make your fishing more productive and enjoyable.

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.

“Magnificent hunting estate”, “exceptional trophies”, “remarkable, friendly welcome”, “Anne’s cooking is amazing”, “beautiful family château” … These are extracts from the Laplanque hunting estate’s visitors’ book, written by hunters who have stayed with us and left entirely satisfied. We are very touched and, at the same time, very proud of these congratulatory remarks. Located in the south of France (one and a half hours from Toulouse Blagnac airport and two hours away from the Mediterranean) at an altitude of 600 meters (1,950 feet), the Laplanque hunting estate is in a magnificent, unspoiled rural region, rich in traditions, gastronomy and charming villages that we are delighted to help our guests discover. Château de Laplanque has been in the same family since the 13th century. It has been lovingly maintained ever since and proposes comfortable reception rooms and bedrooms. The fully fenced 350-hectare (860-acre) estate has always been dedicated to hunting. The terrain is rough, the environment wild and the biotope highly varied. The grassland areas alternate with pine, chestnut, holly and beech forests and with heather-covered cliffs. Hunting is therefore difficult and exciting. Didier Roques Rogery and his son, Guillaume, founded the company France Safaris. Both are big-game enthusiasts and have put an enormous amount of time and effort into selecting the species they propose: red deer stag, fallow deer, mouflon sheep, sika deer and wild boar. Trophies obtained at the Laplanque hunting

estate are classified amongst the biggest in Europe. Our red deer stags have antlers that may exceed 16 kg in weight and 36 points, and our fallow deer bucks have heavy, long and very wide palmate antlers. The most impressive mouflon sheep have thick horns, often exceeding 90 cm in length. Certain wild boar are particularly well tusked. The hunting season starts at the beginning of September and ends at the end of February. The estate is exclusively reserved for one hunter, alone or accompanied. Hunting is by stalking or from hides only. Didier’s wife Anne regales her guests with her culinary talents. Her meticulously concocted dishes, inspired by the culinary traditions of the Mediterranean in particular and the south of France in general, are accompanied by a delicious selection of French wines. Champagne is served to celebrate trophies brought back by hunters. Château de Laplanque is well known for its relaxed, family atmosphere. Hunters from abroad know very little about hunting in France. France Safaris is therefore delighted to welcome hunters from all over the world to hunt exceptional trophies in a magnificent setting and show them all the riches of a region overflowing with charm. The Pyrenees and Spain are not far away. It is therefore possible to organize both a stay at the Laplanque estate and an expedition to hunt Pyrenean chamois or Spanish ibex.

Spain offers the opportunity to hunt 14 big game species most of them native to our country and is a unique destination for mountain hunting enthusiasts, with 7 Capra species (four subspecies of Spanish ibex: Beceite, Gredos, Southeastern and Ronda ibex, two species of chamois: Pyrenean and Cantabrian and the Mallorcan goat) and two members of the Ovis genus: Barbary sheep and mouflon. Also we have three beautiful deers (Spanish red deer, European roe deer and European Fallow deer), wild boar and iberian wolf. In addition, its permanently sunny and warm climate allows for year-round hunting without suffering the rigours of the bad weather found at other destinations. We operate in the prime hunting regions in the country, in private and national hunting reserves, specializing in large trophy hunting. “Monteria” or driven hunting is the oldest and most traditional form of hunting in Spain. This type of hunting includes drives for deer, wild boar, fallow deer and mouflon and is unique thanks to its color, beauty and excitement with large parties of hunters, hounds and mounts. Our driven hunts or “monterias” are world-class. They usually feature 5 to 25 stands offering 2 to 3 trophies per person per day.

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.

We are proud to say we have access to the best, most professionally managed areas, and for those who want to experience other countries in Europe, we also have hunts in Ireland, England, Scotland, Spain, Austria and Poland. If you would like to combine your Swedish hunt with other hunts throughout Europe, we can easily arrange it. Sweden is a large country with a huge diversity of game, offering great hunting as well as beautiful scenery. In the temperature farming country of southern Sweden, we offer hunts for roebuck, moose, red deer, fallow deer, wild boar, ducks and geese. These hunts also feature great accommodations, making it a perfect hunting holiday. For those who prefer the wilderness and a more rugged hunt, we can arrange a hunt in northern Sweden for moose and Capercaillie birds. In the neighbouring country of Norway we offer hunts for European reindeer and in Denmark for red deer, fallow deer, Sika deer and driven pheasants. There is a great variety of species that can be combined, so the choice is yours. Sweden is rich in history, with great sightseeing and, of course, wonderful shopping for 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 crime is virtually non-existent---AND everyone speaks English, making it much easier to travel. Moose hunting Traditional Swedish moose hunting with a moose dog is a great experience. After locating the moose, the dog will hold the animal at bay until the hunter arrives. This is a hunt for people who appreciate a true “Fair Chase” hunt. You can choose to hunt one-on-one or in a group.

Roebuck stalking Sweden is world-famous for its beautiful roebuck. We have several areas in southern Sweden where we can hunt these small, beautiful deer. Other species We have several areas in Sweden and Norway where we offer hunts for reindeer, red deer, fallow deer, wild boar, mouflon, European bison and beaver. Driven hunts There is a long tradition of driven hunts in Sweden. These hunts are very well organised, and safety is a top priority. Driven hunts can be wild boar hunts only, or a mixture of moose, red deer, fallow deer, roe deer and wild boar. Capercaillie The Capercaillie is one of the most beautiful trophies in Europe. We hunt them with a special breed of dog called “Tradskallare”. This hunt is similar to moose hunting with a dog. The dog finds the bird in the tree and barks until the hunter finds the clever bird. We combine the Capercaille hunt with a hunt for black grouse. Duck and goose hunting Our duck hunts feature high quality and a high volume of birds. Our main area for hunting these birds is the Bjorkvik Estate, regarded as one of the best areas in Europe for high-quality wing shooting. We arrange hunts of 200 birds and more. Geese are always difficult to hunt, but there is no bag limit, and on a good day, it is spectacular! Geese shooting at Barseback is regarded as the best there is! European style Every year we offer a few special group programmes for hunters who want to try a bit of everything. We combine moose hunting with driven hunts. Trophy hunting as well as wing shooting is also offered. These hunts are for small groups, and it is quite acceptable to bring along non-hunters, in order to combine the hunting with a few days of Christmas shopping in Stockholm.

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 Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;podencos and mastinesâ&#x20AC;?, 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

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.

WildHunting Company Turkey Détenue et gérée par la famille Ekenler, la société WildHunting in Turkey est actuellement dirigée par deux frères, Temir et Kürşat. Tous deux sont de jeunes chasseurs passionnés qui ont une riche expérience de la chasse en Turquie et à travers le monde. La famille Ekenler possède des propriétés foncières à Tarse, dans la région de Çukurova, depuis plus de 300 ans. La chasse est une tradition familiale fièrement transmise de père en fils, et qu’ils partagent avec nous. Temir et Kürşat sont passionnés par la vie sauvage depuis toujours, notamment grâce à leur père, qu’ils ont accompagné à de nombreuses chasses à travers le monde. Forts de la présence de quelques-unes des plus belles espèces du monde à notre porte, nous nous sommes naturellement spécialisés dans la chasse au gros gibier. WildHunting s’attèle à la chasse de six espèces de gros gibier qui se trouvent uniquement sur le territoire de chasse turc à l’état sauvage. Une exclusivité qui lui confère un caractère unique! 1) Bouquetin d’Anatolie 2) Mouflon d’Anatolie 3) Chamois d’Anatolie 4) Cerf rouge d’Anatolie 5) Gazelle d’Anatolie 6) Sanglier d’Anatolie Notre famille gère la chasse dans une grande partie des montagnes du Taurus depuis des générations. C’est pourquoi notre activité s’apparente davantage à un domaine de chasse familial privé et non à une agence s’appropriant différentes concessions dans toute la région. Par conséquent, notre région fait l’objet de mesures de contrôle, de préservation et de développement sans pareil à l’échelle nationale. Cette approche nous permet de maintenir les normes les plus strictes dans l’ensemble de nos activités. Le bouquetin d’Anatolie est un gros gibier très populaire dans nos montagnes. Il jouit d’une réputation d’exception auprès des chasseurs du monde entier et offre une chasse singulière très stimulante.

La pratique du tir minutieux et sélectif nous permet de garantir la protection et le contrôle du gibier. Nous sommes fiers d’avoir chassé des bouquetins qui font partie des meilleurs trophées de chasse en Turquie et dont plupart des chasseurs ne peuvent que rêver. Pour preuve, les trophées récoltés ces dernières années mesurent 110 cm en moyenne, et il n’est pas rare qu’ils atteignent 120 à 130 cm. Notre pratique de la chasse se veut éthique et sportive. Nous veillons à la préservation du gibier et de notre merveilleux environnement naturel, pour notre propre plaisir mais aussi celui de nos clients et invités, aujourd’hui comme demain. Le sanglier d’Anatolie, l’espèce de gros gibier la plus commune, offre des parties de chasse passionnantes à nos invités. La Turquie possède les plus gros sangliers du monde, qui pèsent 200 à 250 kg et arborent des défenses de 24 à 30 cm. Hautement expérimentée et qualifiée, notre équipe organise et dirige des parties de chasse pour nos invités depuis plus de 20 ans.

Australian Buffalo Hunters Australia New (pending) SCI #3 Asiatic Water Buffalo Mid 2012 repeat hunters Bill Morris and Larry Waide from Oregon had taken an excellent Buffalo each, but were keen to keep hunting. We decided to explore a far corner of a big concession, where Larry found a very old Buffalo with super heavy horns and wide spread, a fantastic trophy taken perfectly with his CZ 416RM. Later that afternoon we hunted along pools of water adjacent to the river, we had shot two wild pigs and I was heading back to get the Toyota. The hunters continued walking, and bumped into a monster Buffalo 300yards away… Bill wanted that bull. Andrea’ the assistant ran back to get me, “Biggest buffalo I have ever seen” he gasped. So I arrived on foot with pack and rifle. Bill pointed to some low paper bark tree scrub, “feeding over there, big horns, I will definitely take him” were his firm instructions to the guide.!! So without hesitation we approached down wind and keeping low. I glimpsed the animal and wanted to look... however Bill rushed me, “that’s him, lets go” and immediately he was forward and in the shooting sticks. As the Bull appeared through a gap at 50yards he fired twice with his Blaser R8 in 416RM and put it down. As we approached, I then realized why these guys were so keen, as every step closer it got bigger. What a truly amazing old Buffalo, this is bigger than anything I have dreamed of, a freak. Its body was bigger, taller, longer than normal, and its horns 83” spread tip to tip, huge 19” bases. The entire horns were so heavy that the last 5 or 6 years they have grown downwards and the tips worn on the ground. I will never see a bigger Buffalo in the wild…!!!

Treetops Lodge and Wilderness Experience New Zealand The first fingers of fire light up the grey eastern sky. Over the 1,000 hectare expanse of the Treetops Estate, skeins of mist roll away with the approaching dawn. The moan of a rutting stag pierces the chill morning air. Silhouetted on a vantage point, you can see him, one of the magnificent trophy animals that draw sports enthusiasts to Treetops from around the globe. A little later the sun has warmed the air and the mist has cleared. As you set off, gun broken over your arm, you’ve scarcely walked for five minutes before the dogs suddenly point and the cover explodes as two monster pheasants leap into the air. Red deer and pheasant are only two of the many game species that flourish in New Zealand’s premier sports trophy reserve. Wapiti (elk),red, sika, sambar, rusa and fallow deer are all managed on the estate along with one of New Zealand’s finest herds of wild rams and wild boar. There is also a healthy population of duck, for whom no less than six wetlands, ranging in size from 0.6 to 2.5 hectares, have been created over the last fifteen years. Many guests who have achieved a prize red stag trophy swap their rifle for a trout rod and head for one of Treetops’ several ponds. Set amongst one of New Zealand’s finest rainbow and brown trout fishing regions, Treetops offers anglers fishing right in its own 1,000 hectares of private land. The clear, cold highly oxygenated waters of its spring fed streams nourish a population of rainbow, brook and brown trout.

Treetops also offers anglers daily guided fishing ventures, whether it be by 4WD or helicopter into some of the country’s most beautiful native forest streams and lakes, for which the region is world renown. The highly successful development of Treetops as a premier sports destination has been based on a commitment to good game management, says owner John Sax. “We recognized early on that game management is effectively eco management, and that it necessitates the implementation of a conservation policy and a sustainable harvest regime. Good game management looks at what can be put back in to the environment. The never ending question is ‘how can we make this environment better for man and wildlife for a better tomorrow?’” The lush look of the property is also the result of years of effort, including planting of over 70,000 trees. “One of the key factors affecting the sustainability of wild life is the timing, quality and quantity of the food supply” says Sax. “You can’t sustain a population if the total feed supply is only there for a couple of months a year.” Working in close co-operation with government and private agencies, the Estate was planted in a range of crops preferred by game species to provide continuous year round feed. Quick growing and maturing species like shadbash, chokeberries and catoniastas initially held the fort. After 15 years, longer term planting such as oaks, cherries and elders are now maturing.

Treetops Lodge and Wilderness Experience New Zealand Pockets of virgin native bush throughout the estate, including some spectacular stands of tawa trees, have been carefully preserved. Care has also been taken to retain cover and food sources favoured by protected native species such as the kereru (native pigeon) and fern bird. Undesirables like possums, ferrets, rats, cats and rabbits are kept out of the estate by an ongoing trapping and hunting programme carried out by the Estate staff. Inside the estate, deer are eco managed by offering them crops like red clover and swedes, which they much prefer to native forest vegetation. Wild pigs are controlled using a similar strategy. And yes, wild venison and pork appear regularly on the Treetops menu. The temperate climate of northern New Zealand has also helped Treetops produce some of the finest trophies in the world, says John Sax. â&#x20AC;&#x153;the lush vegetation growth found at Treetops is one of the key factors in the growth of many of our large stags. The habitat at Treetops is arguably New Zealandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest and has also ensured that it has one of the highest deer densities of any reserve in New Zealand and thus a wide range of animals to choose from. Treetops has the enviable record of having achieved a 100% success rate to date in successfully guiding clients to a trophy stag of their choosingâ&#x20AC;?.

Owner: Alma & John Sax Estate Manager: Dave Robinson

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are also proud of the fact that all red stags taken at Treetops are of SCI record book quality. Most of our clients are seeking a good representative quality stag which is typically 20+ points and approximately 40 inches or so in length. The majority of animals harvested score at least 320 SCI but each year we guide hunters onto Gold Medal, Diamond and Diamond ++ of 450 SCI plus. Due to the geographic location of Treetops in a tranquil, secluded valley, hunting conditions remain comfortable throughout the season, which runs from the rut in late March until the end of Augustâ&#x20AC;? for most deer species and continues on until late October for Rusa and into early December for Samba. Treetops offers a selection of personalised packages for discerning hunters with the benefit of exclusive use of our hunting Estate. There is also the option for tahr and chamois alpine hunts in the Southern Alps.

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.

NWT Outfitters Canada Our exclusive hunting territory in the NWT is 13,000 square kilometres in size and is located in the heart of the Mackenzie Mountains of the NWT. There is no road access to the area -- the only access is by air. The remoteness and unsurpassed beauty of this area is something every mountain hunter should experience at least once in his or her lifetime. We hunt Dall sheep, Alaska-Yukon moose and mountain caribou using a combination of Argos, riverboats and aircraft to assist hunters in the field. To ensure an abundance of mature, trophy-quality rams we maintain a conservative sheep harvest. This allows us to operate in a sustainable manner with extremely high success rates. Our rams consistently average about 37.5” and about 11 years of age. We hunt our moose in the heart of the rut and limit the number of hunters we book to ensure a good supply of trophy-quality bulls. Our caribou are among the best in North America. Most caribou are taken as add-on animals on a sheep or moose hunt for a trophy fee.

Alsac

Wi l d l i f e Pa i n t e r

Stéphane is a young french artist. As a self-taught artist, he acquired an amazing technic by taking inspiration from the great portrait painters. Stéphane’s approach could be defined as hyper-realist : «The exact representation of wildlife anatomy and the realistic treatment of the subject’s texture captivate the viewer who can then fully appreciate the intended message and emotion.» He is considered today as one of the most promising wildlife artist of his generation.

Welcome to the creative world of ‘The Owl Distillery’ ... our barley fields are in Belgium, in the Hesbaye region. Underneath, 40 metres below the surface, translucent, protected water is found in a geological zone formed during the Cretaceous period. Our barley is called Sebastian, two-row spring barley ... you will discover that the dream of a craftsman has become reality, a committed, passionate craftsman... our pot stills have been in use since the 1880s, and now they distil a Single Malt for “The Owl Distillery”. This new distillate has fruity and floral aromas... and time works its magic in our first-fill Bourbon barrels. Oak gives its best, adding spicy and vanilla notes... each barrel has its own influence and colour. We respect these differences, including for colours, which can thus be different, naturally different... bottling is done at 46% vol., in order to avoid cold filtration and retain the greatest possible intensity of flavours...

Barley raised in Belgium Whisky made

BELGIAN SINGLE MALT HANDCRAFTED

... I’m curious, and if you are too, you’ll find the answers to your questions, such as: “What does a Single Malt Whisky taste like during the different steps of its ageing?” or “When does the colour from the barrel become significant?”... You’ll find these answers in the world of the ‘Belgian Owl’, our world, a dream and now a reality... Jim Murray «Whisky Bible 2012» Liquid Gold Award

A unique sporting challenge awaits you ! LES COLVERTS DE SABOURNAC – France Unique in Europe, Sabournac is a private hunting estate that has been organizing mallard shoots over the last twenty years or so on the principles of the large “English style battues”. This type of hunting surprises and appeals to hunters, who like firing a few hundred cartridges on high-flying mallards. The birds fly over surprisingly high, which forces top-shooters to equip themselves with full-choke guns. The estate is open from September 1st to January 31st and may be reserved by a single group of 4 to 12 guns.

CORTIJO SOTO REAL – Spain A unique sporting challenge awaits you at Soto Real. An authentic ﬁve-star hunting lodge set among the palm trees, bougainvillea, and orange trees of a working estate in the rolling hills of Andalusia. Driven redlegged partridges are hunted from October until March and walked-up quail from July to September. You can truly expect a challenge above and beyond the usual at Soto Real.

GREAT SPANISH HUNT – Madrid, Spain

Only 45 minutes from Madrid, outstanding red legged partridge shooting in Spain is at its very best on the La Fnca and Fuensauco estates, run by Javier Corsini who is one of the most respected shoot owners in Spain with his 30 years of experience. His professionalism, his rigour and his expertise are a guarantee that you will have a magniﬁcent stay with a booty of between 500 and 2,000 birds, depending on the size of the party. Surrounded by an estate of 3,000 hectares, a luxury hunting lodge is ready to welcome you, with its gastronomic creations and top-quality Spanish wines that will really make your stay unforgettable.

PUELO EXPEDITION - Cordoba, Argentina Cordoba is considered the dove shooting capital of the world. Over 50 million doves annually inhabit

the 60-mile radius (95 km) around Puelo Expedition’s lodge. Doves offer fast and challenging shooting with a high number of cartridge shot in one day, from 1000 to 3000 cartridges a day, sometimes even more. Puelo Expedition runs 2 different lodges with the high quality standard to offer the best service to hunters. Puelo Expedition runs a lodge in the Buenos Aires province for those who want to combine dove hunting with duck hunting.

CAMPEMENT DE L’ELÉPHANT – Burkina-Faso Hunting francolin and guinea-fowl at random is the speciality of the Elephant Camp together with pass shooting turtle-dove and sand-grouse at waterholes especially equipped for the purpose. The season goes from December through to March. Hunters will ﬁnd a comfortable camp (air-conditioning and swimming pool) and all the unfamiliar sights and sounds of the African bush.

EagleMP – Argentina The EagleMP camp is a reference in duck-shooting in San Javier, located in the province of Santa Fé, which is considered to be one of the most reputed regions in the world for duck-shooting. EagleMP has been managed by Frenchmen for the last 20 years. The season goes from February throught to July with a change in biotopes: from paddy ﬁelds to marshes passing by the Parana islands. Turtledoves can also be hunted with over 1,000 cartridges ﬁred per day.

KOULOUDIA – Lake Tchad, Tchad The new KOULOUDIA air-conditioned camp, 3 hours away from N’Djamena offers exceptional hunting for teal, pintail, shovelers and African duck coming from Europe for the winter. The season goes from November through to March in the Lake Chad overﬂow areas, which are cultivated by villagers and where duck come and eat.

TAMASI - Gyulaj, Hongria Gyulaj is a territory belonging to the Hungarian water and forestry authorities, which offers exclusive big

wild boar battues in open or closed territory. The size of the estates (900 ha and more) maintains the quality of the hunt and offers everyone the possibility of taking a large number of young boar or big tusked males. A guard accompanies every person at his post during the 3 or 4 beats of the day, which can be organized over a whole weekend. A torchlight presentation of the bag is made to the best Hungarian traditions at the end of the day’s shoot, before returning to the very comfortable hunting lodge.
