Foreword of the founder Dear fellow hunt and fishermen.

Our outfitters need your help now! After 18 months of lockdowns, restrictions and travel disruptions the safari business is slowly opening up again and the outfitters need to get our full attention again. We at Magic Safari Lodges have stayed in close contact with our members as all shows were cancelled during that period. Lots had to retrench to their ultimate reserves to stay alive. Travel has become a lot more bothersome : negative Covid testing , mask wearing ,ever changing rules and fewer direct flight options demands from everyone an extra effort to decide to get out there again to pursue your hunting or fishing dream. But there is one way to convince yourself.

Go back to your pictures, your trophies , your memories with those friends in the bush. Think about these youngsters you still want to teach the magic of our sport. Travel in this time of Covid obviously carries a higher level of risk and regardless of your beliefs ,it’s essential to follow the rules and guidelines. But believe all these elements of discomfort are worth the pain once you get back out there ! Our industry has been devastated by this pandemic, but our outfitters wish to bounce back. Do not let them down and help them to build up their activity again and share with you the renewed magic.

Scandinavian Pro Hunters Unique Geese shooting In Skåne, we offer fantastic goose hunting on and around our hunting lodge Markie Hage. The best conditions for these hunts are often difficult to predict, but when the big migration of birds are coming to our areas we are then normally seeing ten thousands of geese in a day, so those who are lucky enough to be able to participate may be rewarded with the goose hunt of their lives. There are no bag limit so every year we are having days with 200 plus geese in a day! World class Roebucks in Skane, South Sweden It is no coincidence that Swedish Roebuck are classified as the most beautiful buck in the world. Tall, slender, and symmetric, they will provide you with an awesome trophy that will most certainly find a prominent spot in your home. Scandinavian Prohunters have the best privately owned properties in the Southern part of Sweden / Skane where we every year shoot big gold medal bucks. The hunt is out from our charming hunting lodge.

Sabournac

Graet Spanish Hunts

Unique in Europe, Sabournac is a private estate which has been organizing mallard duck hunting for 25 years. This hunt both surprises and appeals to hunters who like to shoot several hundred cartridges at high flying mallards.

The red-legged partridge is a endemic to Spain considered the most sporting and challenging bird in the world?by hunters due to its beauty, audacity and fast and erratic flight. The driven partridge shoot is a shooting style with a long and deeply rooted tradition in Spain, which allows the hunter to enjoy the red-legged partridge in a far more challenging way, since the speed and height reached are unbeatable, putting more than one expert wing shooter to the test.

Our shoots are some of the best and most famous in the country. Groups of 3 to 10 guns usually bag around 1,000 birds per day or even double that amount depending on their shooting skills.

The estate is 60 km Est from Toulouse International Airport with direct flights from most European capitals and 25 km from CastresMazamet Airport where all private planes can land.

Thanks to the wide range of estates we manage and their diverse and beautiful landscapes we are able to offer some of the most spectacular and challenging drives to be found in Spain. Featuring birds with fast and erratic flight, both low and high flying, we can offer drives that allow hunters to enjoy very varied and challenging shoots.

Our Story

It's been a difficult few years for outfitters around the world. But with the world opening up, hunters are eager to travel, hunt and experience the trial and tribulations that accompany any international hunt. I personally want to wish outfitters and their clients the very best of luck in the coming months. Just as the global community starts to move beyond lockdowns and travel restrictions, we face another challenge, the disconnect of global supply and demand. When I started FORLOH in 2019, the aim was to produce world-class hunting apparel and to design, source and manufacture every part of every product in my home country of America. That desire wasn’t solely driven by patriotic feelings, but was also based on the desire to produce the best hunting clothes in the world. To do that I needed to be close to my designers, to be able to walk into my factory and be face to face with people to explain exactly what I wanted. This domestic manufacturing allows us to dramatically shorten the product development timelines, while introducing the latest fabric innovations and technical features available. Fast forward two years and FORLOH now has hundreds of products fully in stock, while retailers’ shelves increasingly lay bare across the US. FORLOH’s products represent incredible value, while what is left in stores command higher prices for products and are, in some cases, years old.

I could never have predicted the fortuitous timing of creating the only US-based technical apparel supply chain. Originally, it was to bring the latest technology to market the fastest, so FORLOH would always be at the bleeding edge of any technological advances and to rebuild a skilled workforce that had largely become obsolete as manufacturing moved to Asia. What FORLOH now represents is more than just an American made brand, it represents what can be achieved through relationships, mutual understanding of a common goal and an unwavering desire to make the best there is. With participation in hunting spiking across the USA, as urban dwellers discover and embrace rural life, FORLOH is positioned to deliver on our promise to provide hunters and outfitters the very best in hunting apparel, not just in North America, but across the globe, without the problems currently plaguing global supply chain. FORLOH stands for The Love of Hunting, a love we all share, regardless of location. I look forward to feeling and sharing this passion once again in the coming months and years. Sincerely,

Andy Techmanski Founder, CEO FORLOH

Some of the game you will find in Alberta are moose, black bear, elk, bighorn sheep, white-tailed deer, mule deer, antelope, cougar, wolf, bison, waterfowl, and upland game birds. An astounding 1,708 animals from Alberta have qualified for the Boone and Crockett Club’s (B&C) record book. The fact that 749 of these entries are animals taken since 2000 is a testament to the quality of wildlife available in our province.

BLUE SKY OUTFITTING 846848 Alberta Ltd operating as Blue sky Outfitting The Super Slam of North America big game lists all three of these hunts as part of the 29 animals needed for your Super Slam of North America. After 22 years guiding hunters, it never gets old seeing the face on one of our clients when they bring down the animal they have been hunting for, their dream hunt. Their face is etched with an incredulous grin, and often they are still trembling from the adrenalin rush that has filled their body. It is such satisfaction for us to share in the win with them. Our clients love challenges and hands-down, the number one is the largest hooved animal in the Americas, the woodland bison. A formidable opponent. With bulls weighing in at 3000 pounds, 1360 kilograms, looking down the sights or your gun and coming eye to eye with this prehistoric mammoth is a moment that is not easily forgotten. You can look forward to a fall hunt from October 1st to November 1st. You can up the ante by booking a winter hunt, where temperatures dip below zero into high double digits this is when the hair is at its premium from November 1st to April 30th. With imagery you will not soon forget, take one of our favorites - the remote fly in Northern Alberta rut moose hunts. Running from Mid-September to early October, this short season will test your skills, your moose calling, your patience, and your abilities as a tracker and sharp shooter. But when they come thundering through the bush, you will be justly rewarded. Your excitement and your ultimate success is the reward that keeps us going as your guide year after year, and our testimonials ensure that those coming to our lodge for the first time know what they can expect for their time with our guiding family. If challenge is what drives you, the ultimate predator hunt is the apex wolf predator. Sometimes you’ll even wonder who’s stalking who - as he begins to draw you into his territory. Victory over this apex predator is a preempt achievement. These hunts run from November 1st to March 31st. So which ever hunt peaks your interest, our family run business can answer the call. From food prepared by our talented staff to the expert guides that will take you out, you’ll know you’re in the right hands.

BIRCH MOUNTAIN OUTFITTER 372 Grey Crescent

My name is Charles Beauchamp owner operator. Of Birch Mountain Outfitter. I started hunting at the age of 12. With my dad’s friends that were outfitters hunting Moose on river trips or fly out to camps. This when I fell in love with the wilderness trips and going into remote areas to hunt. In 1978 I became a licensed hunting guide. I worked for other hunting outfitters till 1992. In 1992 I became an Outfitter in the North of Alberta the Fort McMurray area where I live. Fort McMurray is located 200 km north of any farmland. The areas that I hunt are very remote and is a vast wilderness. To do this kind of business you have to have a love for the wilderness and be devoted to doing a lot of work in the wilderness. It takes many hours of background work for very hour hunted from cutting trails and building camp and per baiting bears. And organizing the equipment and food.

With past clients commenting that I run a 5-star bush hotel. I have clients from Germany, Austria, Denmark, USA and now China. We have home cooked meals in all camps. And warm places to sleep. Good food, Good Camps and Good Hunting. Spring Black Bear Hunting is done from one main camp. With Black Bear baits with High seats in a radius of 60 km of camp. The Black Bear population is Very High. It is not if you will shoot a Black Bear but how Big of a Black Bear you will get. Moose Hunting is done in two main areas with small spike camp in in the area close to lakes that hold the Moose in those areas. The client will move between the spike camps. To give each Hunter the best possibility of shooting a Trophy Bull Moose. Bison Hunting is done when in late fall and winter. This is when the Bison have the best Fur. The camp is in the area of the Bison and it is a spot and stock hunt. These are Wild Bison and do not know what a fence is.

We are Driftwood Valley Outfitters. We have been operating since 1987, as a family run business, in the north of British Columbia, Canada. The diverse landscape that we enjoy has many beautiful mountains, lakes, rivers and an abundance of wildlife. High in the alpine is where the goats reside along with some high-country black bears. The green spaces in the spring and the huckleberry covered hillsides in the fall are where the black bears reside. The lake & river country is where the moose spent most of the year feeding on aspen, willow and water plants. The grizzly bears and wolves roam in all these different habitats and utilize any opportunity that presents itself. The mountain goat hunt is spent in the high alpine where we enjoy the majestic views during the late summer and into the fall. There are a few different ways to hunt goats with various methods of accommodation. For the adventurous the backpack tent hunt is the way to go, exciting & challenging from beginning to end, wandering the mountains with a light camp. For the hunter who prefers the comforts of a cabin we have a base camp high up on an alpine lake. Mountain goat hunts are never easy, but the alpine lake provides a good place to recover. The Black Bear hunt takes place in the spring just as the clover and dandelions starts to grow on the side roads and in the open areas. This provides the optimal opportunities to see the bears as they come out of hibernation looking for greens. The method of hunting here is spot-and-stalk from the vehicle or walking the bush roads or glassing the hillsides. The Moose hunt is most productive during the rut, right in the middle of the fall season. Waking up to frost covered meadows the crisp morning air lets you really enjoy the Canadian wilderness. Here sitting in clearings; glassing and calling or from a lake shore is the most assured approach to hunt. Our trapline adventures take place amid the Canadian winters. You get to stay in a little trapper cabin on the trapline in the bush. The activities include accompanying the licensed trapper; helping build sets and traps and checking the trapline every day for bounty. No matter what option you decide upon the experience will be unforgettable. The memories made in the Canadian wilderness are one of a kind.

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

Wilderness moose hunts in Alberta, Canada We offer top quality moose hunts in Alberta’s most remote, untouched wilderness on the edge of the rocky mountains with little hunting pressure. If you want a great chance at a 50 “ bull, this hunts for you! Our all-inclusive moose hunts are during the rut in late September and early October. We hunt by calling the big bulls in close. To have a moose come to a call is one of the most exciting moments you can ever have hunting. The moose in our area can grow over 60” and can be very spectacular with long, wide paddles, and big fronts! SaskAdrenaline Outfitters have taken multiple moose in this area that have exceeded the Boone and Crockett minimum! Peak Of The Rut Moose Hunt These general season moose tags come into effect the day after archery season ends. These tags are very limited and give you the opportunity to hunt the peak of the rut with any weapon, and the temperatures falling below freezing. This is the very best time to hunt these incredible animals with plenty of bull moose seen and heard during the course of your hunt. A 50” bull is very attainable at this time and with only three permits a year we try to target some big bulls! This combo hunt includes seven days of fully guided moose, whitetail, mule deer and wolf hunting, wall tent accommodations, meals, plus trophy preparation. Archery Moose Hunt The only thing more exciting than hunting giant bull moose in the rut, is doing it with nothing but the old stick and string! Moose hunting at this time of the year can sometimes be the most productive when the bulls are just starting to search for cows. A lone bull is more susceptible to come into a cow call than one that has already found a mate, and depending on the mood he’s in you may get quite the show! Generally yowur best times to hunt are early morning and just before dark but if you get some cooler weather especially mixed with some precipitation the hunting can be incredible all day. This combo hunt includes seven days of fully guided moose, whitetail, mule deer and wolf hunting, wall tent accommodations, meals, plus trophy preparation. Accommodations put you right in their backyard We take a lot of pride in our camps making sure you are kept comfortable while enjoying the wilderness experience. Our camps are kept neat, clean, and organized. Camp has generator power complete with lights, plugins, and a few electronic comforts of home. Each tent has cots, mattresses, and a wood stove with a well-stocked wood pile. Bring a nice warm sleeping bag, as nights may get down into the ‘teens! While at camp we make sure you are well fed, warm, and dry. Our camps are set up right in the area of the animals we are hunting. Camp is off the beaten path but easily accessible.

In the mid to late 1980’s, a primitive trail from Lac La Biche was constructed utilizing trails and right-of-ways created by Alberta’s Oil & Gas and Forestry industries, now making Winefred Lake Lodge a remote drive-in facility.

www.winefredlakelodge.ca

Winefred Lake Lodge is now a family operated business operated by father and son, Jon & LLoyd McMahon, and is still well regarded for its spectacular fishing. Guests can enjoy everything from “do it yourself” day trips on Winefred lake to week long fully guided adventures. While initially coming to fish and/or enjoy the outdoors, after a few days it is not uncommon to find our guests reading a good book on our expansive deck, telling stories around a campfire, viewing the plentiful game, or simply relaxing in our outdoor hot-tub. While Winefred Lake boasts some of the finest trophy fishing in Alberta, consistently producing large Northern Pike and Walleye, they also offer pristine wilderness hunting & viewing. Surrounded by miles of Boreal forest that is home to the best trophy black bear and Western Canadian moose and deer hunting Canada has to offer. Management & staff of Winefred Lake Lodge pledge to offer their guests the best outdoor experience in Alberta.

TURKEY

Owner: Kursat & Temir Ekenler WildHunting in Turkey is owned and managed by the Ekenler Family and currently run by two brothers, Kürşat and Temir. They are both extremely keen young hunters and have hunted extensively throughout Turkey and abroad. The Ekenler family has been landowners in Tarsus, Cukurova area for more than 300 years. Hunting is a family tradition, proudly passed from father to son and finally to us. We have always had a passion for the wild; This has been supported by their father who took Temir and Kürşat with him to many hunts all over the world. With some of the world’s finest species on our doorstep, we have naturally concentrated on big game hunting. WildHunting offers a total of 6 speacies of big game, which are natively found only on Turkish hunting land, this makes the hunting unique! 1) Anatolian Bezoar Ibex 4) Anatolian Red Deer

2) Anatolian Konya Sheep 5) Anatolian Urfa Gazelle

3) Anatolian Chamois 6) Anatolian Wild Boar

Our family has controlled the shooting in large areas of the Taurus Mountains for generations. We therefore operate as a private family hunting estate, rather than an agent buying from different concessions all over the region. As a result, we have controlled, conserved and developed our areas in a manner that we believe to be unique in the whole country. This approach is key to our way of maintaining the highest standards in everything we do. Anatolian Bezoar Ibex: is a very popular big game of our mountains and has a very special reputation amongst hunters from around the World and a very challenging and special hunt for us. We have managed to protect and control the game by careful selective shooting and are proud to say that we have some of Turkey’s finest trophy Ibex hunting – with trophies that most can only dream about. We have averaged 44’’(110cm) over the past hunting years and harvest more than a few trophies between 48’’ – 52’’(120-130cm). We have also been living this dream of ethical, sporting hunting, conserving both the game and our wonderful natural environment, for ourselves, our clients and our guests, now and in the future. Anatolian Wild Boar: is the most common big game and a very exciting hunt for our hunting guests; since Turkey produces the biggest boars in the World with body size exceeding 200-250kg and tusks measuring between 24-30cm. We have been organizing and carrying out hunts for our guests, with a very experienced and trained team for over 20 years. We do not over promise, over sell or over hunt. Our family reputation is far too important for that. This experience, applied to the management of our home estates, equips us to provide you with the hunting trip of a lifetime. OUR EXTENSIVE WORLDWIDE HUNTING EXPERIENCE MEANS THAT; WE SEE THE TRIP FROM A CLIENTS EYES, WHICH WE THINK IS VITAL!

BRAZIL AMAZON THE BRAZIL’S AMAZONIA The largest rainforest in the world, one of the world’s largest ecosystems, and contains one of the most diverse arrays of species on Earth. It is home to over 40,000 species of plants, 3,800 birds, and 2,500 of fish, the latter being more than is found in the entire Atlantic Ocean. The region is also home to the most incredible river in terms of drainage and discharge. This unique area was created millions of years ago when the Amazon River changed direction from west to east during the Eocene period.

Brazil’s attractions range from enchanting, frozen-in-time colonial towns to world-class modern architecture. Add the legendary biodiversity that Brazil is famous for, and you start to understand its universal appeal. Brazils’ diverse ecosystems boast the greatest collection of plant and animal species found anywhere on Earth. Brazilians’ passion is also justifiably world-famous. Whether dancing a sultry, hip-shaking Samba, a wildly twirling carimbo, or swaying to a mellow reggae classic, they are typically found celebrating what it means to be alive! Food, music, and fun times with family and friends are not just a nice-to-have, relegated to the weekend—they are indeed a national priority. Manaus, founded in 1669, is the capital of the state of Amazonas. It is found at the confluence of the Negro and Solimoes Rivers, which join to form the vast and ever-changing Amazon River. It is home to over 1.9 million proud Brazilians. Access is primarily through boats or airplanes. Manaus’s isolation in the heart of the Amazon rainforest has helped preserve its significant natural and cultural influences. As the hub of tourism for the rivers, it is the main entrance to visit the fantastic flora and fauna of the mighty Amazon. The main economic engine is industry, although many cultural sites such as the grand cathedral and beautiful opera house harken back to its’ rubber-boom days, which helped it earn its nickname of the “Paris of the Tropics.” Many wealthy European families settled in Manaus and brought their love of sophisticated art, architecture, and culture with them. The city was the only northern city in Brazil proudly hosting the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016 RIO Olympics Games. Who wouldn’t want to experience this wealth of natural and cultural riches? We look forward to hosting you soon and introducing you to one of the most sensory-rich, pleasure-filled, historically fascinating places on the planet.

As we tailor make all our trips we make sure we meet the highest standards of all our clients wants and needs for their trip, whether it is exclusivity, extra service or activity.

The East Ranga river stretches over 22km of exclusive water for our anglers. This river is known as one of the most productive salmon rivers in Iceland as it has high catch statistics, but the country is often considered by many to be the Mecca for Atlantic salmon fishing.

The fishing can be a perfect combination with the hunting for an extra activity in the afternoon or a longer trip.

AFRICA NAMIBIA Owner: Classified Contact: Louis Fenaux Fishing the legendary Skeleton Coast Set in the magical town of Henties Baai, on the edge of the Namib Desert, Fisherman’s Guesthouse welcomes fishermen and tourists alike. The lodge is the ultimate destination from which to experience the shore angling adventure of a lifetime. This beautiful lodge offers unforgettable accommodation a mere 200 metres from the beach. Listen to the sea, enjoy fresh air and cool evenings. Experience the different recipes for the catch of the day, accompanied by a glass of local wine. The nine comfortable rooms promise a good night’s sleep before the big fishing day. Louis Fenaux, our professional fisherman, will take you out on an unforgettable angling adventure. The once-in-a-lifetime experience is to catch a bronze copper shark (all the way up to 260 kg) from the sandy beach. You do not need to be an expert though, but let’s just say that the size of your shark will be determined by your patience and wisdom during this fight and not by strength or technique. Once the shark has been hooked, the pro will guide you on how to haul the catch in. If you want to change to edible fish for a day, you can catch big cobs as well as some locals, such as steenbras, galjoen or snoek. For the youngsters, the smaller sharks such as spotted gully shark are a good initiation before tackling the real stuff. Other activities our team performs are desert tours in 4x4, dune races on quads or shopping in Swakopmund and its harbour Walvis Baai. Fishing the mighty Zambezi and the mysterious Okavango

There are different ways to discover the unspoiled beauty of the Caprivi strip, locked-in between the Okavango and Zambezi rivers. They provide the perfect backdrop for some of the most unforgettable fishing experiences imaginable. We elected to build a lodge along the Okavango near Popa Falls. The fishing takes place up- or downstream from the lodge, guided by an experienced fisherman in a small but safe outboard boat. The main attraction is obviously the tigerfish; people travel the world just to fight this prehistoric-looking fish. Other species are different sorts of bream or buddle fish, and the area is also home to two rare fish species: the broadhead catfish and occelated spinyeel. Non-fishing activities include game drives into the Mgango game reserve or Caprivi National Park and boat trips on the river to view hippos and crocodiles. In contrast, the Zambezi has a lot more people living along its shores. A few years ago, we started to charter a houseboat in order to organise our fishing trips onto the river from this base. Experience taught us that the houseboat provided flexibility to move up and downstream, depending on fish density. Our success rate also went up tremendously. Although houseboat life is quite a different experience, all our guests just love it. English, French, Dutch and German spoken

FISHING

CARDRONA SAFARIS NEW ZEALAND

Many fly fishermen travel the world in search of opportunities to catch big wild trout. While this search might take them all over the globe, New Zealand is one of the rare places where an array of fly fishing experiences are available in an easy-to-access, California-sized chunk of land.

Cardrona Terraces

Flying over a breathtaking saddle or pass in the mountains, and then up or down a river to a landing spot is always highly memorable. After you get dropped off and the “bird” leaves, a notable silence will descend, reminding you that you are in the middle of nowhere and the only sounds of the day will be the movement of water, the breeze in the trees, and the splash of a leaping fish miraculously attached to your line. By 5 or 6pm or whatever time you arranged, the distant sound of the helicopter begins to get louder and it finds you a few miles upstream, standing on a gravel bar with lots of room for a safe landing, and you’ll shortly be flying back to dinner with a few stories to share.

New Zealand

Sparkling streams, staggering landscapes - angling in New Zealand is equal parts challenging and rewarding, placing you firmly at one with nature. Helicopter fishing trips offer a wide variety of exclusive opportunities off the beaten track. Our skilful pilots will deposit you deep inland or up in the mountains, stalking some of the biggest trout in the country. Many rivers overshadowed by their larger counterparts, that would take days to walk to, fly mostly under the radar – you could be the first to fish their untouched waters all season. This is the sort of extraordinary experience that makes happy anglers return year after year to visit Venator. The lodge, guides, and helicopter company all work together to make sure that the rivers get well rested between visits to help ensure great expeditions. Here, you can base yourself our luxury lodge Cardrona Terraces, taking off right in front of your room and being whisked back in time for a sumptuous dinner. The beauty of New Zealand is that you’re only ever a short drive or flight away from countless other spectacular sights and activities. A day of fishing is easily followed by a day of golfing, kayaking, hiking, or wining and dining.

PRECISE CONNECTION For hunting wild boar at night we offer an optimally coordinated combination of a premium dayscope precisely connected with a thermal clip-on device.

Liemke MERLIN-35 With its ideal magnification range for hunting wild boar and the mounting rail extended to the front of the riflescope, the Blaser 1–7x28 iC is the perfect platform for the use of thermal clip-on devices*. A reliable connection to the riflescope is of crucial importance for a consistent and repeatable point of impact when hunting with a thermal clip-on device. Our new Blaser thermal clip-on mounts are extremely easy to operate.

Blaser BL43 Thanks to the automatic positioning of the clip-on mount, using the integrated rail of the Blaser 1–7x28 iC, the installation is always repeatable, even in complete darkness.

This ensures the highest level of repeatable accuracy even when the thermal clip-on device is frequently attached or detached.

Thanks to a recoil lug, which needs to be installed onetime into the inner rail of the Blaser riflescope 1–7x28 iC, the constant positioning of the thermal clip-on device is guaranteed. When the clamping lever is closed, the thermal clip-on mount is additionally locked on the scope tube.

The Blaser riflescope 1–7x28 iC is suitable for every use. Whether stalking, driven hunts or hunting wild boar at night, the Blaser 1–7x28 iC becomes a new universal genius in combination with the Blaser thermal clip-on mount and the appropriate thermal clip-on device*.

CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC Owner: Alain Lefol Manager: Alain Lefol The Central African Republic is undoubtedly one of Africa’s most famous big game hunting countries. It is home to two of the continent’s most iconic antelope species: Derby’s eland in the savannah and the bongo in the forest. Their hunt, a unique quest in the life of an African hunter, is a real challenge. Despite many years of unrest in the country, National Safari has not ceased its hunting activity in the field. Their territory completely in the East of the country offers by its location and its remoteness a natural protection to the hunters wishing to live an extraordinary adventure. The hunting area of more than 1,000,000 Ha is bordered by the Vovodo river and is made up of a multitude of different biotopes: savannah, wooded plateaus, large mountains and especially the mythical Central African ‘bakos’, forest galleries rich in unbelievable fauna. National Safari will immerse its hunters in the atmosphere of the great safaris of yesteryear where many areas of the territory have not yet been trodden by man. From a base camp along the river, hunters will be able to set off on a flying expedition in search of emblematic and mythical species: bongo, giant forest hog, yellow-backed duiker, leopard, savannah buffalo, Derby eland, roan, bush pig. Come with us and experience the last great African adventures. La Centrafrique est sans conteste l’un des pays d’Afrique de grande chasse les plus réputés. Il héberge deux espèces d’antilopes parmi les plus emblématiques de ce continent : l’éland de Derby en savane et le bongo en forêt. Leur chasse, quête unique dans la vie d’un chasseur africain, relève d’un véritable défi. Malgré de nombreuses années de troubles dans le pays, National Safari n’a pas cessé son activité de chasse sur le terrain. Leur territoire complètement à l’Est du pays offre par sa situation et son éloignement une protection naturelle aux chasseurs désireux de vivre une aventure hors norme. La zone de chasse de plus de 1.000.000Ha est bordé par la rivière Vovodo et est composé d’une multitude de biotopes différents : savane, plateaux arborés, grandes montagnes et surtout les mythiques ‘bakos’ centrafricains, galeries forestières riches d’une faune incroyable. National Safari plongera ses chasseurs dans l’ambiance des grands safaris d’antan où de nombreuses zones du territoire n’ont pas encore été foulées par l’homme. A partir d’un camp de base le long de la rivière, les chasseurs pourront partir en expédition volante à la recherche d’espèces emblématiques et mythiques : bongo, hylochère, céphalophe à dos jaune, léopard, buffle de savane, éland de Derby, hippotrague rouan, potamochère.

AFRICA NAMIBIA Owner: Classified Contact: Renier de Villiers Namibia has the largest diversity of biotopes in all of Africa, ranging from deserts such as the Kalahari and the world’s oldest, the Namib Desert, to red-coloured dunes (Sossusvlei) and sandy beaches along the Skeleton Coast or then again the subtropical marshes between the Okavango and the Zambezi. Twenty years of experience have taught us that all our guests like to discover all the different parts of this magical country, either by hunting or fishing in the different places. Therefore we offer you two hunting and two fishing destinations which we own or operate. Several combinations are possible, depending on the season, your availability and your mode of transport, all of which we would be more than happy to study together with you. Hunting the grandiose Etosha area and the massive Damaraland The southern border of Etosha National Park is well-known to hunters for its great variety of plains game. Our privately owned land covers a diverse landscape consisting of Mopani forests, dry river beds, acacia woodlands, plains, mountains, valleys and pans. You can hunt exceptional trophies and experience the magic of real hunting. Gold medals can be obtained for gemsbok, kudu and mountain zebra. The Damara dik-dik and the black-faced impala are even exclusive to this area. Leopards and cheetahs are considered the jewels of Etosha. We have three types of accommodations, each giving you different experiences on your safari. One way is using our African safari lodge with all the five-star amenities typical to the Southern African triangle and with an uninterrupted view of the surrounding valleys and plains. For a more typical hunting atmosphere, we use a camp with several thatched rondawels, decorated with local artwork and en suite bathrooms. For those nostalgic for an ‘Out of Africa’ atmosphere, we offer a live version in the tented camp where as the night falls the bush comes alive. More to the west lies the Damaraland concession. As no fixed settlements are allowed, we use our 4x4 and tents to set up flycamps in a moonlike environment. All meals are served around a crackling fire under the clear African sky or under thatch in the central lapa, with unique game dishes. On the day you wish to take a rest from hunting, it is possible to go for a game drive in Etosha National Park or simply relax around the swimming pool and the spa of the main lodge.

Hunting the Kalahari dunes and Namib Desert South of Windhoek we own two hunting territories, each very representative of their specific biotopes. The Kalahari property features a combination of 74 sequential red sand dunes with the equivalent number of valleys stretching each over a kilometre wide. It is an amazing sensation to hunt in such countryside, as each dune hides a new spectacle of animals grazing in the next valleys. Here you can hunt mostly grazers such as springbok, gemsbok and wildebeest, all medal quality. Again accommodation can be provided in three different types of camps: the luxurious safari lodge with five-star facilities such as pool, spa and restaurant; the comfortable bungalow of the hunting camp with its magic lapa and boma; or finally, real bush life in a tented camp. A few hours eastwards, towards the Botswana border, we have a desert property which again is a totally different view from the Kalahari. Montana like grass plains contrast with the red hills which seem imported from Arizona. Hunting tactics change 100% since here the hunter and the animals have little space to hide. Cheetah, leopard and hyena are abundant in this area. The accommodation is in a typical thatched lodge uniquely decorated in a hunting atmosphere. All game here is natural resident game.

Some species move with the rain, but we will do our best to make every safari a success. The best time to hunt Buffalo is during the months of December to end of June. After that the grass is high and hunting buffalo becomes challenging. All other species can be hunted year-round. Kafu River Basin (KA) The Kafu River Basin stretches along Lake Kyoga, Kafu & Mayanja Rivers and covers the six districts of Nakaseke, Nakasongola, Kiboga, Kyankwanzi, Kiryandongo and Masindi covering about 420,000 hectares. The landscape in Kafu consists mainly of Papyrus swamps and dense bush thickets making it a prime hunting ground for the East African Sitatunga, East African Bush Duiker, Eastern Bohor Reedbuck, Nile Bushbuck East African, Uganda Defassa Waterbuck, Leopard, Common Oribi and Bush Pig. We hunt in Kafu from January to December. This is the best concession for big Sitatunga. Our average horn length on Sitatunga is 25 inches with quite a few bulls taken in the 29 to 31.5-inch range over the years. Aswa Lolim Ranches (AL) The former Aswa-Lolim Wildlife Reserve was degazetted under Idi Amin in the 70s. It covers the sub-counties of Purongo, Alero, Anaka and Koch-Goma. Although many commercial farmers have settled in this prime hunting ground, it is still realistic to get Nile Buffalo, Uganda Kob, Hartebeest, Waterbuck, Oribi and warthog. Aswa-Lolim lies on the eastern side of the Nile. It covers 45,000 hectares and share a 110 km direct border with Murchison Falls National Park in the South and about 78 km with the Nile in the West. The landscape is dominated by light rolling grass hills with palm trees, small valleys with creeks and light forest. Near the river you find dense forests and large stretches of papyrus swamps. We hunt in Aswa-Lolim from January to end of April/May. The Sitatunga hunting takes place year-round. ACCOMMODATION IN KAMPALA AND IN THE FIELD Upon arrival at Entebbe Airport (Airport Code: EBB) and departure, depending on your flight schedule, you will be accommodated in a good three-star hotel in Kampala. Our staff picks you up at the airport and drops you off. Your lodging in the field will be either in traditional East African safari tents (Kafu Blocks & Karamoja) or traditional grass thatched tented bungalows (Mayanja Lodge) serviced for by trained staff. Our field cooks provide three solid meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) per day. The cooking in our restaurant samples different kitchens such as Indian, African, German, Italian and Chinese. All our camps & lodges are semi-permanent structures equipped with 24/7 power supply and satellite internet. The internet can only be used for emails and Skype calls.

The majestic Red Stag is the most sought after trophy in our area and we are proud to say we offer the unique “Monster” red stags, which roam free and are found in abundance. Red Stag (Cervus elaphus) was introduced into Argentina more than a hundred years ago, the first specimens were brought to the province of La Pampa, and subsequent imports also introduced this magnificent animal into the southern part of the country, Patagonia. Nowadays, you will find awesome Red Stag trophies in the hunting environment and this is the result of more than 25 years of hard work and strictness in the selection we have made. Hunting red deer in Argentina is a truly unique experience, particularly in the region of Patagonia mostly characterized by very open and big ranges. The stags can be spotted from a long distance, and rutting season is usually very long (more than 60 days), providing ample chances to harvest a very nice trophy. Undoubtedly, Algar Safaris provide an authentic and natural Patagonian hunting experience.

ALGAR SAFARIS Patagonia Argentina Mobile: +54 9 11 3115 0028 www.algar-safaris.com info@algar-safaris.com

Besides Red stag, we also offer fallow deer, axis deer, Père David’s deer, mouflon sheep, black Jacob’s ram, patagonian dall, patagonian ram, multi-horned sheep, wild goat, Juan Fernández goat (Balearean boc), puma, european boar and blackbuck antelope. Hunts are conducted on 4WD vehicles and final approach is done on foot. Hunters may expect to walk around 10-12 km. per day which implies light hiking on relatively flat terrain. We encourage bow hunters to hunt at Algar as they will find this country vast and open, making it easy to spot game from high vantage points. The terrain is mostly rolling hills and mesas broken with ravines and creeks where the animals gather for water, and graze the valleys which run across the property. The tall grasses and bushes make the perfect camouflage for bow hunters’ activity. Bow hunters should expect 30-70 mt shot distance.

ALGAR SAFARIS Patagonia

Algar is the definite place for free range stag, and it is the only REAL free range ranch in Argentina where above average trophies can be seen and harvested. We have owned and managed this area for more than 25 years and our main focus has been to cull very hard on lesser quality animals. The outcome has far exceeded expectations. Located in a very remote area with little or no hunting pressure at all, this allows us to keep a very efficient game management program. In addition, the scenic beauty of the region, hilly terrain and breathtaking views paint a perfect backdrop for the hunt. Although Algar Safaris is very well known as a big game hunting company, we are pleased to introduce the best wingshooting programs, which are easy to combine with the finest big game hunting. We offer dove shooting and also the amazing mixed bag shooting (Dove, perdiz & duck hunting) near Gualeguay, in Entre Ríos province, just 240 km. north east from Buenos Aires. Hunters will experience the world-famous mixed bag: great duck hunting early in the morning, followed by a fantastic perdiz hunt with dogs and the possibility to shoot as many doves as they want in the afternoon or just shooting doves all day long. This unique opportunity to hunt 3 species during the same hunting day; every day, is fantastic. Last but not least, Argentina could be referred to as a “hunting paradise”, whether it is big game what you are after, or being able to shoot thousands of rounds a day of doves and ducks. Besides being an ideal place to go hunting, Argentina is also a great tourism destination. Finally, it’s important to mention that Algar Safaris has been supporting many important hunting associations across the U.S. and the world, in order to contribute to protect the freedom to hunt and promote wildlife conservation programs worldwide.

The lodge has around 25 shooting ﬁelds, which are at walking distance within our own property, or at a short drive through the region’s rich farmland. This allows for more time to relax and enjoy yourself, take a nap in between hunts, refresh in our swimming pool during the hot summer days or the outdoor hot tub in cooler days and why not take a pleasant massage for your sore shoulders and limbs! The overwhelming amount of birds flying over the head restlessly all day long ensures great opportunities for non-stop shooting suitable for all skill levels. Beginners have an unparalleled chance for improving their shooting skills aiming at low flying doves, while more experienced shooters find higher and faster targets quite a challenge. An average hunter may expect to shoot between 2 to 4 cases a day…and there’s No Bag Limit! With the shooting fields at walking distance from the lodge, dove shooting will never be the same. You will shoot more and travel less.

Giovanni Pacheco, Carlo Z., Guilherme G. de Oliveira. After 10 years of obligatory shutdown in my cinegetic activities, by insistence of the mutual friends, I return, and for my luck in a wonderful place like this one. I hope to have the opportunity to return more often. Were here together, in an impeccable stay. We leave registered the satisfaction and joy with which we were welcomed. Besides, we were awarded with a magnificent wild boar: (27 cm of tusk) hunted by Alexandre Oltramazi; and two “professional” goats hunted by Fernando Comunello and Alexandre Fasoli. Finally, a deep gratefulness to Guima and all the friends who we left here, remains. Obs.: Another wild boar, hunted by Alexandre Fasoli. Until the next one! Alexandre Fasoli, Fernando Comunello, Eduardo Guimarães and Alexandre Oltramazi. In almost full moon… 11hrs, tired eyelids…A single male enters - What is Laurindo? - “Male” it is, but I do not see the tusks! I thought: Good, tomorrow we are leaving, then… fire! And I hunted the greater boar of my life. Carlinhos said: another like this, not even in 100 years. Oh God! Meanwhile, Carlinhos with Eduardo were grabbing with nails and knives Lucio’s wild boar… Great night! Great hunting! Hug.

ARG EN TIN A SAN TA F E Owner: Tomas Frontera

Mixed bag hunting Veracruz is a cosy, thatched-roofed lodge with the most spectacular view, which makes a wonderful setting to spare and relax after enjoying the best shooting ever. The lodge offers 5 bedrooms with private bathrooms, and can accommodate 10 guests. While you are at the ranch, it is yours to enjoy, from the comfortable living room with its inviting fireplace, to the dining room offering beautiful views of open fields and the Parana River shore.

VERACRUZ LODGE Av OHiggins 5500 La Santina, Cordoba CP 5014 Argentina

The Shooting At Veracruz you can hunt different species of ducks depending on the time of the year, the rosy billed and whistling ducks being the most common, along with some teals. Duck shooting features comfortable and well camouflaged blinds; quality specie-speciﬁc decoys and guides who will place you where you need to be to get the kind of duck hunting you’ve only dreamed of until now. The shooting occurs on the shores of San Javier Rivers, over some of the hundreds of islands or over rice fields. We shoot twice a day, morning and evening, and there is plenty of time to relax at midday. For morning hunts, our hunters depart from the lodge in the dark, but after a hearty breakfast. Depending on the time of the year and the behavior of the birds (scouted every day), the time to get to the blinds will be from 20 minutes to an hour, including car or boat ride. Shooting over decoys starts at ﬁrst light and continues until 10 am or after. Flocks of 20 or 30 ducks are not rare. Most days, duck hunters return to the lodge for lunch and a siesta before afternoon departure at about 3pm for evening duck hunts. Evening hunts last until dark. Perdiz over dogs is a great choice to hunt. They are fast and challenging. Britain’s or German shorthair dogs hunt with us. Duck and perdiz shooting can be exchanged for Dove shooting, making the hunting diverse. Dorado Fishing is a great and fun sport. The river scenery is phenomenal. We fish in shallow water with current. Lots of different fish can be caught like stingray and Piranhas. We will use bait or fly rods depending on your request. Catch and release is what we do. In the heart of a magical environment, Veracruz offers a warm and cozy accommodation combined with the best of Argentina’s mixed bag hunting.

S’hail - Katara International Hunting and Falcons Exhibition

S’hail – Continued to shine like its name The 5th edition of S’hail – Katara International Hunting & Falcons Exhibition, Qatar continued to shine like its name. The 5-day long exhibition was scheduled from 7 to 11 September 2021 and it was a star-studded affair of Royal and VIP visits from different countries across the globe. Record breaking footfall and great trade volume itself speaks about the great success of the show. Growing international participation proves the fact that S’hail is of great importance not just to Qatar but it has become one of the most popular exhibitions in the entire Middle East and North Africa region in the domain of hunting & falconry simply because it is not limited to business only. Over the time it has become an established medium for the exchange of knowledge, different cultural activities and much more. The frequent high-profile

visits during the 5th edition of S’hail especially from the prominent neighboring countries states the fact about their growing trade and strong commercial relations. Established in the year of 2017, S’hail excels at attracting the best of the variety of falcons, weapons, falconry and camping accessories, safari vehicles, caravans and much more from the different corners of the world. This year more than 160 companies from 20 different countries participated at S’hail. Though there were many different activities and competitions, but the most beautiful Falcon hood and the most attractive pavilion competitions once again topped the charts. Another exciting part of S’hail was the falcon auction as it attracted a huge number of falcon lovers. This year a new electronic version of auction was introduced, which was a big hit. As many as 500 birds participated in two different auctions which took place every day at S’hail. The winning falcon of the first auction was being announced daily where as for the second auction the highest bid price was announced on the final day of the exhibition. For the daily auction the highest bid value was 777,000 Qatari Riyals and this shows the passion of having a falcon and the importance of hunting & falconry in the rich Qatari culture and tradition. Right from buying falcons to latest accessories, shooting range to hunting weapons, safari vehicles to hunting trips at best of the locations, every section and corner of S’hail was almost packed with passionate hunting and falconry

enthusiasts. And, International companies added a flavor to this larger than life saga. Once again, these companies were a big hit and was in a huge demand because of their quality products. The growing number of weapon and safari companies with a lot of new products and services represents their enthusiasm to participate in S’hail. “Keeping the spending capacity and huge demand in mind we have prepared special gold & diamond studded S’hail edition hunting guns and other accessories” mentioned the owner of a leading weapon brand. In fact, participants from neighboring countries mentioned that they are glad that it would be easy to participate at S’hail in coming years especially in 2022 as it is the year of FIFA. ““This is my first time at S’hail and without any doubt, I found it one the best and most luxurious platforms. It is so very well organized that you cannot even compare it to other exhibitions”, mentioned a well renowned wooden sculpturist from Russia. “What makes this platform more special are the people behind the show. They have the right set of experts who are committed to promote the cause. The team members are very cooperative and supportive. I came to know about s’hail from one of my friends and this is my forth year with them” stated an exhibitor from Pakistan.

capacity. Especially when it is related to promote their cultural heritage, they can go beyond boundaries.

EUROPE 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.

Owner : SCI St Michel Manager: Antoine Feidt

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.

CHÂTEAU ST MICHEL

The deer are originally from Germany, and they were imported to France 10 years ago. They have been pampered and well taken care of in order to make this livestock so amazing today. They have been treated naturally and kept in the wild. Many stags have 30 points or more and go up to gold medals. For the first time, Antoine Feidt is opening this exceptional domain where he will, I am sure, prove the beauty and the quality of his deer. You will either hunt game from a hide on watchtowers or by stalking. The best calibres for hunting here are .300 Winchester, 9.3 x 62, etc..... A French hunting permit or license is mandatory. You will be hunting with the owner, who will gladly explain the evolution of his livestock and his theories on genetics.

SCI St Michel

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. Certains chasseurs expérimentés vont au bout du monde pour chasser de grands cerfs. L’avion et les transfers sont souvent très longs et éprouvants. Or, depuis cette année, une destination en France permet aux amateurs de trouver de très grands cerfs, le domaine Saint Michel. Situé dans la Nièvre entre Beaune et Saint-Honoré-les-Bains, un château complètement rénové vous accueille sur un territoire magnifique, offrant un confort digne de 5 étoiles: chambres, suites, repas, tout est merveille et délices. Antoine Feidt, le maître des lieux, lui-même chasseur hors pair, mettra tout en œuvre pour vous faire tirer un de ses plus beaux cerfs. La souche, venue d’Allemagne il y a plus de 10 ans, a porté ses fruits et la qualité et la beauté des cerfs est remarquable. Nourris tout à fait naturellement, ils valent le coup d’œil, plusieurs faisant plus de 30 cors, certains allants jusqu’à la médaille d’or. Cette année, Antoine Feidt ouvre pour la première fois son domaine. La chasse se déroule uniquement à l’affût, sur de grands miradors ou au pirch. Les calibres recommandés sont: 300 Win - 9,3 x 62 - etc. Un permis français ou une licence est obligatoire. Vous chasserez avec Antoine Feidt, il se fera un plaisir de vous expliquer l’évolution de ses cervidés et sa théorie génétique en rapport avec son cheptel. Profitez de cette occasion unique pour découvrir enfin de magnifiques cerfs...Nul doute que si vous venez en chasser un, il sera une des pièces maîtresses de votre trophy room.

UNITED KINGDOM ABERNETHY Owner: Jean-Michel & Dorback Estate sits in the heart of Speyside in Scotland and in the Cairngorm National Park with a spectacular mountain backdrop where the high peaks and corries often hold snow into high summer. Extending to over 16,000 acres the Estate captures high ridges, corries and moors home to stags that can be heard roaring in Autumn and the iconic grouse then down to lower wooded ground besides the Dorback Burn where salmon spawn. Dorback has a rich hunting history and as a genuinely mixed sporting estate can offer rarely rivalled mixed sporting packages including walked up grouse on a wonderful and varied moor, challenging stalking on high ground and exhilarating low ground shooting amidst beautiful native woodland. Dorback Estate benefits from the lifetime of experience gathered by our Estate Rangers, Bryce Coutts and Ian Crowson. Bryce and Ian are true custodians of this wild and beautiful part of Scotland and can offer world class sporting opportunities. We have hunters who have been returning to Dorback for over 40 years in order to relive the premium quality sporting experience on offer. We shoot walked up grouse over the moor that extends over a large part of the Estate and this allows us to offer fresh ground where the grouse have been left undisturbed for many days. This provides for the very best quality shooting experience which can be enjoyed over pointers if preferred. On Dorback Estate we shoot a sustainable bag for the grouse stocks we have each season. We base a day on 2 brace of grouse per gun and provide the most wonderful experience. If we have more grouse available we will provide them and this season we were able to sustainably shoot bags of approximately 20 brace a day for teams of 4 to 6 guns. The moor is well equipped with various lunch huts and hill bothies, including the luxurious Fae Bothy which offers an exquisite resting spot for lunch or as a destination at the end the day with a welcoming wood burner and comfortable sofas. Fae Bothy is fully equipped to allow a chef to prepare a beautiful meal and with an impressive dining table can seat a full team of guns along with many family and friends. Our low ground shoot has been meticulously developed and huge investment has been made in conservation measures to provide the optimum habitat for pheasants, partridge, duck and woodcock. The variety of woodland, farmland and terrain makes for a diverse and inspiring shooting experience. We can offer mixed driven shoots from 100 bird days upwards with lunch served in one of the estate’s luxury cottages or the Fae Bothy. We also offer walked up rough shooting incorporating some bespoke drives with a bag of 10 birds per gun which provides tremendous fun. The estate also offers excellent stag stalking opportunities in October with hind stalking following the stag season which is offered at a day rate. On the lower altitude wooded ground there are roe deer stalking opportunities to offer further variety to a mixed sporting package. At Dorback Estate we design the sporting package to suit our guest’s needs and time and time again our guests enjoy a most unforgettable experience. Dorback Estate is also constantly engaging in projects to enhance the natural environment and follow organic farming or cultivation methods. So, on the Estate and you will find wild flower headlands, beehives, orchards, heritage Narragansett turkeys, chickens and polycrub vegetable gardens which all support the Estate’s concept of generating as wide a variety of local produce as possible.

EUROPE SWEDEN Owner: Classified Fjelljakt is an organisation with great expertise in all aspects of hunting in the Swedish mountains. We have been active for about a decade and, ever since we started, our philosophy has been to provide top class hunting packages. Everyone who works with Fjelljakt is carefully selected and a master at what they do. We are privileged to work in western Jämtland. The nature here is astounding, with open vistas that extend all the way to Norway. Jämtland is one of the last areas of real wilderness in Europe and we offer you the opportunity to explore it with us. We have chosen to focus on moose and game bird hunting, as our 16,500 hectares of hunting grounds have an almost unique game population. Our Hunting Villa lies at the heart of our 15,000 hectares of hunting grounds and is the base for our hunts. The Hunting Villa was built in 1896. Medstugan Hunting Villa embodies a genuine sense of hunting traditions and hunters have stayed here since the turn of the last century. Over the years, Medstugan Hunting Villa has attracted both royalty and big game hunters from foreign lands. This beautiful heritage building is our starting point every morning, whether we leave on foot or by helicopter after breakfast. MOOSE HUNTING, THE TRADITIONAL WAY Our most exclusive hunting product is one-on-one hunting with a barking moose dog. You and a tracker/dog handler hunt alone over large areas, waiting for the dog to find the moose. When the dog “holds” the moose through its rhythmic barking, we start our cautious approach on an extremely watchful moose. There are few hunting methods that bring about such a rush of adrenaline. This package also includes “calling for moose” in the dawn to increase your chances of shooting the “big bull”. We also offer driven hunts for moose. We hunt using experienced trackers/dog handlers. Depending on the wind and weather, we can choose whether to hunt with the dogs leashed or unleashed. All drives are conducted in beautiful open mountain terrain. GAME BIRD HUNTING We offer ptarmigan hunts using pointing bird dogs. Hunting takes place on the open mountainsides or in the forests of mountain birch. This hunting method necessitates a great deal of walking in the mountains, but the breathtaking surroundings mean you soon forget that you are also getting a little bit of exercise. Ptarmigan hunting is very sociable, as you have time to chat during the day; it is only in bird situations that discipline and a cool head are necessary. All of our hunts require that you are used to spending time in the outdoors and that you are physically prepared for long walks and long days in the mountains. Welcome to our world

The Medstugan hunting lodge was built by Carl Fredrik Liljevalch in 1896-97, and was drawn by the architect Agi Lindegren; it is located at the heart of our 16,500 hectares and is the starting point for our hunts. Over the years, Medstugan has attracted both royalty and foreign big game hunters and there is a real sense of hunting tradition in Medstugan’s walls – hunters have stayed here for over a century and a trophy cabinet bears witness to how hunting was conducted in the early 1900s. In the morning, after breakfast, we depart from this from incredible piece of history either on foot or by helicopter. Breakfast and dinner are eaten in one of our two dining rooms. The day’s hunting stories are best told around the fire in the drawing room, while the lodge’s sauna is wonderful for relaxing in after an exciting and demanding hunt.

A CULINARY EXPERIENCE

Moose, grouse, trout, reindeer, mushrooms and berries… the list could be even longer, but this one describes the food sourced from our region. And not only are these fantastic ingredients that will take you on a culinary journey through our hunting grounds, this also means we can guarantee that only the best quality food makes it to your plate. We believe that food and drink are extremely important parts of the overall hunt experience. Not least, they provide pleasure after a hard day’s hunting with good friends, but they also give us the satisfaction of knowing that we use what we shoot, making the very most of it. For us, it is also a way of respecting the game we hunt.

Located in the southern tip of Corsica, between the old towns of Sartène and Bonifacio, nestled between sea, forests, hills and mountains, the Domaine de Murtoli is a very discreet address which presents an original vision of how a luxury hotel can operate tastefully and harmoniously amidst a reserve of natural wild beauty. The Domaine de Murtoli is a very unique hotel concept rising spectacularly above the Mediterranean. Once passed the inconspicuous wrought iron gate, Murtoli gradually – modestly – reveals itself along the curves of its 50 kilometers of tracks. The five-star hotel – the only one in Corsica open from April to January – is exceptional not only because of the sheer size of its wonderful grounds but also because the lucky few who have the privilege to stay here are accommodated either in dwellings, large landlord villas or shepherd's houses, all restored from the 17th century and scattered around the estate or in suites of a charming boutique hotel nestled in the heart of the valley offering an intimitate and authentic atmosphere. And amongst this classic Corsican wilderness, it is possible in one day to fish in the sea thanks to the estate's 22-feet boat, or fish the endemic trout in a river, go hunting, ride a horse, enjoy the summer spa or play the 12-hole golf course designed by Kyle Phillips.

SWEDEN Rough shooting Every year, Scandinavian Prohunters arrange a small number of VIP Rough Shoots with a mixed bag of birds. We use the very best dog handlers and hunt out of the fantastic castle of Markie Hage in order to be able to provide a fulfilling and comprehensive HUNTING experience. It’s a mixed hunt of partridge with pointing dogs and spaniels, take-off and flight for ducks and depending on the season, small drives for pheasant and grey legged partridges. If there is geese in the fields we normally start the day trying to get some geese over decoys. When you already here why not combine the wing shooting with some big game hunt out from the same lodge... Roebucks, Fallow stag, Red deer, Wildboar, Mouflon & Bison It is no coincidence that Swedish Roebuck are classified as the most beautiful buck in the world. Tall, slender and symmetric. They will provide you with an awesome trophy that will most certainly find a prominent spot in your home. Scandinavian Prohunters have the best privately owned properties in the Southern part of Swede where we every year shoot big gold medal bucks. We also have very nice Fallow stags (natural colored, black and white), majestic European Red Stags, Wildboars, Mouflon and European Bison. NORWAY Reindeer We have access to hunt EUROPEAN REINDEER in the desolate though beautiful Norwegian barrens long known to produce some of the largest antlered reindeer in the world. The area is about a four hours drive from Oslo. Only a limited number of bulls are taken each year to insure quality hunting. Horses are available at an additional fee to get even deeper into the mountains and barrens where the biggest bulls live and also for bringing the animal down from the mountain. We house our hunters in a very charming and comfortable highland hotel near the hunting area. Meals are deliciously prepared with local products.

When a good bull is located the stalk will start on foot. In the start of the season we are staying in a very comfortable tented camp by the river, when it's getting colder we are using cabins.

AN DALUCIA SPAIN Owner: Classified Contact: Bruno van Marcke CORTIJO SOTO REAL Spain has always had a peculiar attraction for hunters. It of course has two very unique ways of hunting namely the “ojeo” driven partridge and the “monteria” driven big game. Andalucia has long been the el dorado of partridge shooters, providing some of the world’s finest shooting, in breathtaking scenery of hills and valleys. In contrast with the more northern hunting areas, Seville boasts a reputation of ever sunny skies and mild temperatures the whole hunting season long. Taking the sun at his post, with these “Spanish grouses” all around you is a pleasure for any hunter. The informal yet traditional atmosphere, punctuated by the convivial Spanish hospitality, makes these outings a daylong fiesta. Put Soto Real, the exclusive hunting resort and retreat in these surroundings and a Magic Safari Lodge is born. But, what really triggers everyone’s imagination is that you can walk around in short sleeves in winter, enjoying your days out hunting while friends or associates back home are shivering in the cold. Your only thought then is: “this is magic”. Nature around Soto Real could not be more tempting! A true sportsman will appreciate the swift flight of the red-legged partridges driven from the hills by the majestic Andalusian horses over an armada of a dozen pair gunned shooters. Spain is rated as one of Europe’s last hunting paradises and the abundant nature of Soto Real offers most exciting opportunities for the shooting sportsman. The 5.000 acre shooting grounds are bordered on one side by the delta of the Guadalquivir and on the other by the Sierra Grazalema. Red-legged partridges are amongst the most challenging birds in Europe and our driven partridge shoots are an absolute delight! The mild Spanish climate almost always guarantees clear blue skies and warming sun. The breathtaking views of the Andalusian countryside and the beauty of the typical red partridge make the picture complete. Season starts early October to end only mid March

Depending on the time of year, Soto Real offers many other shooting possibilities. From July till the end of September, quail and rabbits walk up shooting over dogs is organized for small groups. During the normal hunting season, hares and partridges can further fill up your bag and towards the end of the season flights of thrush represent a particular attraction.

The main cortijo has this very special feel of a wonderful country house. Each room designed and decorated in a delightful blend of traditional Andalusian and old Moresque style, has an en suite luxury bathroom, intimate salon and private terrace. Soto Real does not attempt to present an image or make a statement. The aim is to provide guests with quiet comfort and discreet service, which will enable them to relax and draw from surroundings and to restore the senses that modern life tends to crush. The perception of luxury also has a touch of elegance: decoration is luxurious yet without ostentation, fantasy in all sobriety giving total tranquility. Soto Real is also perfect for couples and families, for a long weekend or a short week. It is within easy driving distance of the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, the towns of Jerez, Sevilla and Cordoba and the surrounding white villages - all available as chauffeur-driven excursions. In the cortijo itself there are opportunities for horse and carriage riding, fitness, sauna, as well as a beauty-center, tennis and clay shooting, all organized by professional staff. Big game also abounds in the forested hills with species such as the red- and fallow deer, roe, mouflon and not forgetting the much-coveted wild boar. Hunting them in Monteria style, driven by dogs “podencos and mastines”, holds the greatest fascination for anyone, given both the skills and the ancient rites involved. Stalking the Spanish Ibex is a challenge for the fittest as the mountains around Ronda can take their toll.

Our Stag hunting areas stretch from the river flats up to the alpine valleys and plateaus lush with snow grass. These high country valleys and basins are the rutting battlefields for the red stags fighting to stand their ground. Combine your Tahr or Stag hunt together or you can also add Bull Elk, Fallow Buck, Arapawa Ram or Chamois for the hunt of a life time. With a stunning backdrop of the South Island high country and a view of the Southern Alps, your Rangitata experience will be completed with our luxury alpine accommodation. Our secluded lodges will immerse you into the landscape and the grandeur of the breath taking scenery before you. Relax in total comfort and enjoy amazing food freshly prepared by our in house lodge chef. Additions you can make to your hunt with us may include fishing on local rivers, scenic flights to Aoraki Mt Cook, or maybe just a trip to visit local towns for shopping or to try some local fare like the famous Fairlie Bakery.

Style and respect can be found in all products – in the naturalness of their materials, their high functionality and aesthetics, and their first-class workmanship, as well as their durability. The Gun Dog Affair is not a label you adorn yourself with, but rather an attitude you adopt out of conviction. A style that is formed from tradition and unites all those who wish to express their respect for nature and the craft of hunting. Those who have high demands on their appearance in all areas of life and thus also on their clothing.

Classic, elegant, timeless.

SEVINK AMUP 1769 Johann Lauterjung enters his trademark in the Solingen knife maker role – the story of the PUMA factory began.

1900

1855 Great-grandson Nathanael (1815–1865) moves production to the nearby city of Solingen.

On May 26th, the name „PUMA-Werk, Lauterjung und Sohn“ is entered in the Solingen commercial register.

www.pumaknives.de

1920 The sons Eugen (1883-1961) and Franz (1888-1976) build a second plant in Solingen and push the export. So PUMA got known internationally before the II. World War.

With a passion for quality Our company has an old tradition of manufacturing high quality blades that goes back to 1769. Today we develop and manufacture hunting, sports and leisure knives, which are demanded worldwide due to their quality and diversity. It is the combination of traditional craftsmanship and innovative technology that make PUMA knives something very special. As a traditional manufacturer, we place great value on the craftsmanship of our employees, their wealth of ideas and their personality, because at the end of every manufacturing process there is a quality check by the skillful, trained eyes of our employees. Wherever it makes sense and is efficient, we use the latest production technology, for example, fully automatic CNC machines that can complete several work steps at once with the highest precision. There is good reason why the PUMA brand is one of the market leaders in the manufacture of hunting, sport and fishing knives and count as a synonym worldwide with the highest quality and know-how.

The finest variety When designing our knife collections, we rely on many years of experience and skills of leading knife makers, designers, hunting and trekking specialists, who work in

2019

1953 Oswald von Frankenberg and Ludwigsdorf (1915–1986), husband of Renate Lauterjung, shifted production in the PUMA factory to functional hunting, fishing, leisure and sports knives.

2003 / 2008 2003: Next to the classic line PUMA offers its customers a series of very qualitative knives in traditional design under the label "PUMA IP" (International Production). 2008: With "PUMA TEC" the company completes its knife program with economically attractive, fixed blade and folding knives in a modern look.

Our anniversary knife close contact with our experienced employees. We have installed a high quality control system along the entire process chain. The result is high quality products that leave nothing to be desired by the customer. Our range of knives has grown steadily over several generations, as we consistently adapt it to the needs and wishes of our customers. Of course, these are always based on new trends and ideas. For the production of knives, we use types of steel that are adapted to the use of the blade in practice and thus guarantee a high level of usability and durability. This is what the name PUMA has stood for, for more than 250 years.

2019 PUMA celebrates a quarter of a millennium of company history. 250 years of „Solingen knife manufacture“ – and the story goes on.

Today PUMA, the knife manufacturer Solingen, is continuously developing its product portfolio and combining traditional craftsmanship with the most modern production techniques.
