This issue is packed with stories and resources to inspire you for the roar, from easy venison Bolognese to thrilling hunts for grand chital in North Queensland and massive wapiti in New Zealand. Our hunting bucket list further highlights top targets, both in Australia and abroad, and we pay tribute to a late friend with South African hunting adventures. Other epic hunts cover Gulf Country boars and bowhunting goats in the Outback, along with feral cats, foxes, wild dogs, hares and more. We dive into ammunition essentials, ranging from reloading and choosing the right bullet to understanding shot placement and (in)accuracy. Plus, we offer tips on choosing the right hunting knife for your needs, including one that’s custom made. Learn how to make the most of trail cams to help ‘capture’ game and discover new products to enhance your outings, including Beretta’s limited-edition 486 Paralello shotgun, which we can’t wait to hunt with – watch this space. Furthermore, discover the ideal riflescope for hunting and going light with your scrub gun. We also explore the resurgence of historic London gunmaker Rigby that benefits the global shooting and hunting community. And, along with our game meat recipes, we look at eating unconventional feral invaders. There’s a bonus Hema Maps HX2+ GPS Navigator prize for subscribers, with more details on the inside front cover.
