Driven Hunts in South Africa: A Hunter's Guide South Africa's diverse landscapes and abundant wildlife make it a prime destination for hunters worldwide. While spot-and-stalk methods are popular, driven hunts offer a different kind of adrenaline rush, testing your reflexes and shooting skills. What is a Driven Hunt? In a driven hunt, beaters (often local trackers) move through a designated area, pushing animals toward a line of strategically positioned hunters. This creates fast-paced shooting opportunities as animals break cover. Common Quarry Impala: A staple of South African hunting, known for its agility and alertness. Wildebeest: Both blue and black wildebeest are common targets, offering a challenging shot due to their size and speed. Blesbok: A medium-sized antelope with a distinctive white blaze on its face. Kudu: While often hunted via spot-and-stalk, kudu can also be taken in driven hunts, requiring quick target acquisition. Bush Pig: A challenging quarry because of

Review of the Tikka T3 Hunter .30-06 with Leupold Scope on Weaver Rail As an avid hunter who has taken this rifle on numerous hunts, including deer, elk, and even a few challenging trips for wild boar, I feel confident sharing my experience with the Tikka T3 Hunter in .30-06 Springfield. Paired with a Leupold scope mounted on a Weaver rail, this setup has been my go-to for several seasons. Here’s my detailed take on its performance, pros, and cons. Pros: Accuracy: The Tikka T3 Hunter is a laser beam. Out of the box, it consistently delivers sub-MOA groups at 100 yards with factory ammunition. The .30-06 cartridge is versatile, and the rifle handles it beautifully. Whether I was taking a 150-yard shot at a whitetail or stretching it out to 300 yards on an elk, the rifle performed flawlessly. Build Quality: The Finnish craftsmanship is evident. The stock is made of high-quality wood, which not only looks stunning but also feels solid in hand. The blued steel barrel and action a

Jamaica Inn calls time on 100 years of hunts meeting on its land This article is more than 1 year old Cornish pub used in Daphne du Maurier novel says there are no pluses, just minuses to hunt visits A pub that was the setting for a novel by Daphne du Maurier has banned hunts from meeting on its land after 100 years of the practice. The Jamaica Inn in Cornwall – immortalised in the 1936 novel of the same name about smuggling – announced the decision after the East Cornwall Hunt invited the Beaufort Hunt to meet there on Saturday, a move the pub called “extremely ill-advised”. Both hunts said the venue on Bodmin Moor, its staff and customers had been targeted by “activists” online. The Jamaica Inn, which was built in 1750 as a coaching inn for travellers, wrote on Facebook that it had never supported hunting but had allowed “hunts to start from the inn because of the 100-year tradition of doing so”. It said: “Last Saturday the local hunt invited the Beaufort Hunt to join their usua

At 78 years of age, cancer has pretty much taken away my ability to climb mountains in search of elk. Don’t feel sorry for me, I have killed plenty of elk, mostly cows for the good eating. The good Lord has allowed me more than a charmed life. I have a wonderful family with great kids, grandkids and great grandkids and I have fly fished (my main sport) all over the world, sometimes in places I never dreamed I would go. My youngest son, Stefan, and I decided to do something we had never done before. We planned to go on a guided elk hunt. I work for the International Sportsmen’s Expositions telling fly-fishing tales and doing fly tying demonstrations. In my spare time I began to canvas the floor, down in Denver, looking for a suitable elk-hunting outfit. QRS Outfitters out of Meeker, Colo., was particularly attractive, and they thought an early season muzzleloader hunt would fit the bill for what we were looking for, so we booked our hunt. Neither of us has owned a muzzleloader, nor ha

How to Hunt Alaska on a Budget Have You Ever Tried This? Alaska hunting is the stuff of dreams, yet many convince themselves it’s beyond their reach. This is easy to understand, as guided Alaska hunts are some of the most expensive around. Single-species hunts for mountain goat, dall sheep and brown bear run anywhere from $9,000 to $14,000. A guided hunt for even “commonplace” barren ground caribou might finance a multi-species hunt in southern Africa. For the average working stiff, a do-it-yourself hunt is the only way to enjoy such an expedition. If daunted by such an adventure, especially its costs, I understand. Yet, after 10 Alaska forays of my own, I’m here to say that with plenty of advanced planning and a meager savings-account grab-stake, an Alaska hunt is well within grasp. While the sexiest Alaskan species require the non-resident to hire an outfitter by law, many don’t. These include barren ground caribou, Alaska-Yukon moose, Sitka blacktail deer and black bear — all anima

How to Hunt Africa on a Budget Chances Are You Can Do It Cheaper Than a Premium Elk Hunt My palms hurt and my knees were bloody from crawling over rocks. My legs ached. My lungs were threatening to quit on me if I had to climb one more mountain chasing a herd that was skittish to the point of paranoia. The guide and I had pursued them up and over so many mountains and glassed them from so many hidden vantage points that I had no idea how much territory we had covered or how we’d ever find our way back to the truck. When the shot opportunity finally came, it was a long one — 320 yards from our spot on a hill to where the bull was feeding on the opposite ridge. “Hold a foot high,” the guide said, and that turned out to be dead accurate. The cows scattered in a panic at the blast, and not long afterward we were standing over a mature bull I had worked harder for than any animal I’ve taken before or since. Sounds like a fairly typical elk hunt, right? Except it wasn’t an elk and I wasn’t

These days there are very few new products that I would actually call a “game changer.” Many are truthfully nothing more than a twist on an old idea or a slight improvement over something already available. When I first saw the new Primos Double Bull SurroundView hunting blinds at the January trade shows, I instantly said to myself, “game changer.” When I was able to hunt Axis deer in south Texas from one with a rifle in June, my opinion didn’t change. Since then I’ve had one at home and have been playing with it a lot in anticipation of some summer bow hunts. All I can say is, it’s something else. If you’re familiar with Double Bull pop-up blinds, then you need no convincing of their ruggedness and an interior configuration that's design is one that's well thought-out by hunters. My only beef with Double Bull blinds over the years is that, while their hub-and-pole system makes them solid as a rock once erected, putting up and taking the blinds down can be a bit of a challenge until

New Jersey black bear hunt back on The New Jersey black bear hunt is back on. Yesterday, hunters took to the field only a day later than anticipated. The hunt had been delayed following an emergency court challenge filed by animal protection groups. The groups argued that a loophole was used to reinstate the hunt, alleging that the black bear population was slow to reproduce. However, the Appellate Division of the New Jersey Superior Court ruled that the hunt will continue as planned, according to News 12. As GOHUNT previously reported, Gov. Phil Murphy had canceled the controversial annual bear hunts as part of his campaign promise. As a result, the state canceled the hunt in 2020 and didn’t hold one in 2021. He changed his mind in 2022 following an increase in bear sightings and bear-human interactions as well as a potential population tipping point of over 4,000 bears within the next two years.

New Jersey to reinstate black bear season New Jersey’s annual black bear hunt is back on. The announcement came yesterday from Governor Phil Murphy, who opposed the hunt, after an increase in bear sightings and bear-human interactions as well as a potential population tipping point of over 4,000 bears within the next two years, according to WPVI ABC News. If approved, the hunt could be held as early as next month from Dec. 5 to 10 with an additional hunt slated for Dec. 14 to 17 if the reduction quota of 20% isn’t met during the first hunt. “While I committed to ending the bear hunt, the data demands that we act now to prevent tragic bear-human interactions,” said Murphy. As GOHUNT previously reported, Murphy canceled the controversial annual bear hunts as part of his campaign promise. As a result, the state canceled the hunt in 2020 and didn’t hold one in 2021. “Bear hunting in New Jersey has been a highly controversial topic for several decades, but only because officials like Mu

Hunting stories 3 years in the making: A bowhunt for bull elk. By WYATT O'DAY My love of bowhunting started around the age of four when my father gave me my first bow. Every night, I would go outside and shoot with him. As a kid I dreamed of the hunt and when I would finally kill my first bull elk with a bow. By the age of six, my father started taking me elk hunting with him. I watched him hunt as he called in and killed multiple bulls in front of me. Then, finally it was here — the year that I had been waiting for so long had come: the year that I was old enough to hunt! At 12 years old, I had several encounters with bulls, but was never presented a clear shot. The second year, I had a total of six nocked arrow encounters with bulls, but still no shot. Finally, the third year rolled around and at 14 years old, I was more than ready for my first bull.

Vortex Razor Gen II 4.5-27 Scope Review I recently purchased the Vortex Razor Gen II 4.5-27 scope, and after extensive use, I am more than pleased with its performance. First and foremost, the optics are exceptional. The clarity and brightness of the image are outstanding, even in low light conditions. The multi-coated lenses ensure a crisp view, and I have no complaints about distortion or color fidelity, which is crucial for identifying targets at varying distances. One of the standout features of Vortex Razor Gen II scope is its impressive magnification range. The ability to zoom from 4.5x to 27x allows for versatility in different shooting scenarios, whether you're in close quarters or taking long-range shots. The reticle is also well-designed and easy to use, allowing for quick adjustments and precise aiming. The build quality of the Razor Gen II is top-notch. It's durable and rugged, with a robust construction that can withstand harsh conditions. I’ve taken it out in a vari

Hunting trip to Finland? Hunting in Finland requires that four things are taken care of in good time before the planned hunting trip. For this reason, planning should start well ahead of the trip. A couple of thousand hunters from abroad visit Finland every year. In particular, hunting for white-tailed deer, moose and grouse attracts hunters to Finland. Getting a hunting card “Foreign citizens can get a Finnish hunting card for one season at a time, if they have the right to hunt in their own country. Similarly, a certificate of equivalence for a shooting test can be obtained if the person has the right to hunt ‘similar-sized game’ in their own country”, says Paula Laukkanen, Executive Director of the Helsinki Game Management Association. “Both the hunting card and the certificate of equivalence for a shooting test cost the same for a foreigner as for a Finn.” The application for a hunting card is addressed to the executive director of the relevant game management association, who

These 5 Essential Hunting Tips Will Help You Become a Better Hunter. Hunting is a popular outdoor activity that takes a lot of patience and preparation. However, becoming a better hunter is not easy. It takes years of practice and study before you can truly call yourself an expert in the field of hunting deer, elk, moose, or any other big game.

There are plenty of ways to get into hunting, but for this post, we’re going to focus on the five essentials that every hunter should know before heading out into the field. 1. Invest In Good Shooting Equipment During the course of a hunt, you will get more than one chance at taking down your prey. You might even get multiple chances in a single day!

9 Ways to Ruin Your Outfitted Hunt A multi-thousand-dollar hunt is something to take seriously while still enjoying a great time. Here’s how to behave yourself Outfitted hunts can be very exciting. I’ve done several of them, and most were with salt-of-the-earth folks who respected one another and had a great time. But I’ve shared a couple of camps with chest-thumping types who cussed and drank more than they hunted. It ruined an otherwise great atmosphere. Have you ever been on an outfitted hunt and experienced someone or several people acting foolishly? Did it negatively affect your hunt time in camp? For that matter, have you been the annoying or disrespectful guy or gal in camp? You want to have a good time on an outfitted hunt, but it’s important to follow some common-sense guidelines, too. These are some of the big ones. 1. Keeping Others Awake After traveling a great distance and paying thousands, who wants to be kept awake by someone is talking loudly and slamming doors? Out

Wild boar hunting is one of the most popular hunt in France. With an ever-growing population, Wild Boar is commonly present in many regions of France. The average weight is around 50 to 80 kg (110 to 176 lbs) and the biggest male adults are from 100 to 200 kg (220 to 440 lbs), the trophy consisting of its tusks (canines and incisors). Mainly hunted on driven hunts, the wild boar is a smart animal, astute enough to cross hunters' line and then escape. With a very good memory and a perfect knowledge of its territory the Wild Boar is a fascinating animal to hunt and hard to catch. Wounded, this animal can be very dangerous and won't hesitate to charge dogs and sometimes human beings. We hunt wild boar from mid-August to end of February. Stalking and driven hunt are the main methods of hunting this animal. This experience is incredibly intense!

Controversial spring bear hunt up for debate in Washington The Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission will hear a report Friday on potential changes to the 2022 spring bear hunt season. However, several conservation groups said special permits to hunt black bears in the spring should not be issued at all. The groups said the hunts cruelly kill bears just as they’ve emerged from hibernation with cubs in tow. “There's a reason why we don't hunt any other species during the spring – other than turkeys – because spring is an important time for all species in which they're recovering from the winter,” said Claire Loebs Davis, board president, Washington Wildlife First, a conservation group. After hibernation, Loebs Davis said, bears are on the verge of starvation, making the bears sluggish, slow and easy to kill. “Starvation is forcing them into clearings and in areas where the only food is available – where they are easy for hunters to find and shoot,” she said.
