Unexpected Opportunities
The Perfect Companion
Save on a New Spotting ScopeThe fire was bright and it burned long into the night. We were hunting on the edge of Etosha National Park; at dusk Donna had shot a fine leopard, and we were celebrating properly when one of the landowners rolled in and joined us. He had just come from the game department, and he had in his hands two rare permits for problem lions. We'd been there long enough to see lots of lion tracks, and also to see how spooky the animals were. There were plenty of lions around, certainly enough to constitute a problem!
Dedicated hunter and conservationist Andrea Fisher will embark on the hunt of a lifetime.

READ MOREA PH makes a split-second decision that will mean life or death for him and his client.
By Brad Fitzpatrick
The game trail was a narrow corridor of hard-packed soil beneath a canopy of thorn. It was hard to imagine that three big bull elephants had recently come down this path, but professional hunter Karl Stumpfe stood over their fresh spoor pressed deep into the dirt of the game trail. He strained to see through the interwoven green branches of combretum, but the wall of vegetation was so thick that the elephant bulls less than a dozen yards ahead of the men appeared only as sandy-gray patches moving slowly through the dense cover.

Quick. Name a famous desert.
If you said Sahara, join the crowd. Everyone knows the world’s largest desert. If you said Kalahari, though, you’re probably a hunter.
