Deer dominate our September issue, with fallow bucks, bowhunting the rut, hard-earned red deer and a trip across the Tasman into steep, cold New Zealand country where every step has to be earned.
We also look at the dangers of hypothermia, a clever NZ approach to pest control and three simple venison recipes that put wild meat to very good use.
Elsewhere, pigs, fishing and time with the kids make for a cracking bush trip, while South Africa delivers big country, memorable hunting and a healthy dose of history.
Closer to home, coastal teal provide plenty of action, Australia’s feral animal numbers come under the spotlight and we get serious about wild dogs – when to hunt them, where to look and how to get the job done.
There’s plenty of practical know-how too, from beating flinch and reading the wind to firecraft and cooking over the coals.
On the gear front, we put the ZeroTech Vengeance 6-24×50 riflescope through its paces, revisit classic Paradox guns, check out .270 Winchester ammo and cover knives, butchering gear and trophy mounts.
And that’s just a taste – with plenty more inside, including some excellent prizes up for grabs this September!
