In SA JAGTER/HUNTER’s first edition of 2024 editor, Francois van Emmenes, shares his impressions of ATA’s first bolt-action rifle – the Turqua. Also, read about the incredible time Henk Becker, winner of last year’s Mozambican hunt, had during his buffalo hunt and find out how you can win a Kalahari hunt.

In hierdie Kersuitgawe bied ons hope geskenkidees en ’n lekker klompie jagartikels: Melville Price se bergjag, Riaan Dames se springbokjag en Ivan Smith se jagherinneringe van ’n hele leeftyd. Thinus Steyn gee raad oor hoe om foute in die jagveld te voorkom en Johan van Wyk bied stof tot nadenke oor die ware wese van jag. Johan skryf ook dat die Nitro-Express-patroon ná 126 jaar steeds bobaas is en berig verder oor die grootkaliber-skietkompetisie in Darwin, Australië. Ons doen verslag oor SA Jagters se Nasionale Sportskietkampioenskappe, asook hul Houtkapper-tak se eerste Skietbaan-“Macnabb”. Laastens sê ons vaarwel aan Fred Camphor, SA Jagters se HUB wat ná 18 jaar se uitstekende diens die tuig neerlê.

With the hunting season behind us, the next best thing you can do is enjoy our variety of hunting articles. Hunters and shooters alike will enjoy Johan van Wyk’s article on the attraction of “ordinary” rifles, as well as Brian Reilly’s contributions on cast bullets for medium-bore rifles and Federal Fusion ammunition. Pierre van der Walt tells reloaders more about the intricacies of rifle bullets, while Kobus de Kock entertains and enlightens wingshooters with his article on decoys. If you are so fortunate to have an eland in the freezer, Annelien Pienaar’s mouthwatering recipe for eland kebabs and peri-peri liver is a must!

Geniet ons lekkerlees-versameling jagartikels: Danie Grobler se eerste olifant, André Gerber se Steenbokpanjag, Stephan Marais se rooiribbokram te voet in die Oos-Kaapse berge en Thinus Steyn se gemsbokjag. Boetie Kirchner deel die wenners van SA Jagters se 2024-Kalahari-jagkompetisie se onvergeetlike jag in die rooiduine. Johan Marais gee raad oor hoe om lig te loop vir die swartmamba en Kobus de Kock leer kinders hoe om veerwild gaar te maak. In die mark vir ’n nuwe geweer? Johan van Wyk doen verslag oor ons voorbladgeweer, Beretta se 687 Silver Pigeon III wat ewe goed in die jagveld en op die skietbaan presteer.

In this issue, we introduce you to interesting hunting rifles, old and new, and bring you quality articles on ballistics, hunting stories and colourful characters from yesteryear. We also focus on the threat that exotic pig species pose to biodiversity worldwide, including South Africa.

Vandeesmaand steel die Mannlicher-Schoenauer die kollig. Johan van Wyk bied ’n kykie na dié klassieke jaggewere van weleer en Shiri Castellan deel ook sy liefde vir hierdie veteraan in “My 6.5 Mannlicher-Schoenauer story”. Die jagveld is aan die kook! Kom deel in Thinus Steyn se liefde vir springbokjag te voet, Danie Grobler se passie vir forelle en koedoejag en Sarel van der Merwe se somerjag-ervaringe. Oppas vir slange wanneer jy jag. In sy nuwe reeks bied Johan Marais nuttige inligting oor hierdie reptiele. Moenie ons toetsverslae oor Roark Precision Optics se Legacy 10x42 en gebruikte Leupold-teleskope misloop nie. En van die veld na die vurk: Gee jou wildsvleis ’n eksotiese kinkel met ons wildsvleiskormaresep.

The hunting season is in full swing, and in the May issue we bring you quality articles on rifles, ammunition, product tests and good hunting stories. Rifle articles feature the .450/400 (3") NE by W.J. Jeffery & Co. and 6mm Creedmoor. Also read how to choose your first rifle and how to prepare for the hunting season. Product tests include Hodgdon’s Perfect Pattern Powder and Buck Knives. Reloaders will enjoy Pierre van der Walt’s new column, “Pierre’s Reloading Table”. If your venison is already in the freezer, use Karla Janse van Vuuren’s recipe to make delicious Greek moussaka with venison mince.

The Franchi Feeling Sporting shotgun is in the spotlight in the March-April 2024 edition of SA JAGTER/HUNTER. Editor Francois van Emmenes took it on a recent shoot and gives his impression. Other articles include one on buying a used double, an interesting read about exceptional birds and a product test report on the A-Tec Optima 40 silencer.

In SA JAGTER/HUNTER’s November/December 2023 edition, hunters share the challenges and joys of hunting blue wildebeest, grey rhebuck, warthogs and sable. Also, read about the value of trained hunting dogs, a story about the craft of walking sticks, and reviews on the latest in hi-tech accessories. The cherry on the cake is the announcement of a new competition to win a hunt in the Kalahari’s red dunes.

In the new edition of SA JAGTER/HUNTER the CZ600 LUX in .308 Win is put to the test. Africa’s glorious gladiator, the gemsbuck, shows why it is on the hunting list of many hunters. An eland proves to be a challenge for an experienced hunter, and an expert gives advice on bowhunting on small farms. The role of hunting in conservation also comes under the spotlight.

In the August 2023 edition of SA JAGTER/HUNTER the many possibilities of the Howa 1500 carbon fibre barrelled action in 6.5 Creedmoor are discussed. August being Women’s Month there is a special women’s “Bokspog” as well as hunting stories by women hunters. Nosler Trophy Grade ammunition is put through the test.

In the July edition of SA JAGTER/HUNTER, Hubert Montgomery discusses John Rigby’s medium-bore magazine rifles – the three-fifties. Some nifty gunmaking transforms an “ugly duckling” Mauser rimfire into an elegant little rifle with finesse and Pierre Marais tells of an unforgettable stag hunt with a bunch of tough Scotsmen. We also test IMR 4350 propellant and the Steiner Ranger LRF 10x42.

In the June edition of SA /HUNTER, the Savage Model 110 Tactical Desert in 6.5 PRC gets a closer look. A case is made for the hunting of female animals, and we discuss the use of high-magnification scopes. For the wingshooters, there is an article on hunting spurwings with the help of dogs. Also, beat the winter cold with our fabulous osso bucco recipe.
