Our cover story captures a scorching Outback hunt for feral pigs pushing a trio of hunters to the limit by rifle and bow. It’s a reminder that even in the toughest summer conditions, persistence pays off. Still, long days afield come with risks. ‘Christie on call’ covers when accidents result in serious blood loss – sound, practical advice that could make a real difference out bush. We also touch on the potential implications of hunting incidents. Scott Heiman’s charcuterie feature values using as much of your quarry as possible – don’t miss this tasty sampler, as we have more cooking for the next edition! Another piece explores the extensive history and ongoing debate around kangaroo hunting. Overseas, we head to the New Zealand alps for a steep tahr hunt and to Mozambique for a crocodile pursuit, both testing nerve and resolve in unique ways. On the African front, we also look at the ideal plains game rifle. Back home, we revisit why the .22 Magnum remains such a reliable all-rounder and include plenty of gear and bush know-how to keep you sharp this season. Further afield: more pigs, deer, wild dogs, goats and a look at the edible flora of the bush and how to introduce it into your own garden.
