Welcome to Australian Hunter 30. In this edition, we proudly present a variety of hunting stories to cater to hunters from all walks of life. We cover everything from the basics of rabbit hunting and how to get your game from the paddock to the plate, to choosing a GPS and a hunting ute, to learning how to take great in-the-field photos of your firearms and game.

We even feature stories on some of the world’s more exotic animals, such as Victoria’s little known but trophy quality Damara ram, South Africa’s rooibok and America’s magnificent mule deer.

To celebrate 30 editions of Australia’s favourite hunting magazine, we have also added 30 extra pages and we are offering readers the chance to win one of 10 fantastic Kizlyar hunting knives (see page 138).

Finally, I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to the many editions of Australian Hunter over the past nine years. Without you, we couldn’t produce what has become (and what we continue to strive to be) Australia’s favourite hunting magazine.

Enjoy all that this bumper collectors’ edition of Australian Hunter has to offer. We look forward to bringing you another 30 editions over the coming years!
