Cover  March 2010Comment / Where to hunt – not a light decision

In the run-up to the 2010 hunting season, Africa’s Bowhunter has been following a planned strategy.  In the January issue we focused on arrows, and in the February issue on broadheads. This issue looks at where to hunt, and next month’s will concentrate on preparing for the excursion. Then we’ll start looking at the various classes of game one might consider going after this season.

This issue, focusing on where to hunt, not only contains a lot of information on potential venues, it also assists the reader with the selection process. In his article A Place and Space to Hunt (p 8) Cleve Cheney discusses various factors to consider when choosing a venue – including tips on cutting costs – and on p 57 Frikkie de Jager gives some advice on Booking that Bowhunt. On p 31 Franco Joubert takes a light-hearted look at some of the “types” who come hunting on his farm. In addition, we have visited a couple of representative hunting farms in order to tell you what they offer – see the articles on pages 17, 29 and 38.        Read more
