Great news! I think that's really fair of you! I’ll order a few copies too, since I hope my story will be included. I'll keep one for myself and give the rest to my friends. Will the digital version be released before or at the same time as the print edition this summer?

Herzlich willkommen aus Niederösterreich!

Yes, I think it's a great shame. I wrote the whole story and photographed the buffalo teeth as instructed in order to write and send an article that could be published in a book. I wanted to be able to give this book to my friends and keep it in my trophy room at home. However, since the book...

Hi, what's going on with the second edition of the book? I took part in the Rigby Dagga Boy Award II and our stories were supposed to be published in a book at the end of 2025. However, I haven't received any information, and my question on social media have remained unanswered for several...

I would like to share my personal experience of hunting with Shingi last year. As he was working as a freelancer for another outfitter at the time, I cannot comment on the organisational aspects. Not everything went as agreed or promised for us either, even the most fundamental things. But that...

There are clear scientific recommendations based on medical evidence, rather than on individuals' opinions and experiences. For the US, for example, see here - https://www.cdc.gov/yellow-book/hcp/travel-associated-infections-diseases/malaria.html I have already written about Europe (in German)...

I don't want to scare my American friends. Quite the opposite, in fact. I want to advise them on how to enjoy hunting and travelling in Europe without fear, stress or unpleasant surprises. Hunting here is not the same as in Africa, where the organiser takes care of everything, from picking you...

These are precisely the reasons why I use (my trusted) outfitter: we agree on a fixed price, so I don't have to worry about additional costs or discuss them with the guide, accommodation provider, transport company, taxidermist, etc. I don't have the time or inclination for that during the hunt...

I am from Central Europe myself and, whenever I want to go hunting, even in neighbouring countries, I almost always use my outfitter's services. They have contacts everywhere I need them and organise everything that needs to be done. Each European country has completely different laws regarding...

Hi! I'm going to Bulgaria this year. If you're interested, I can recommend my outfitter, with whom I've hunted in Europe for the last few years. He has experience with guests from the US, for example: Or Red stag hunting in Slovakia, where I'm from: Feel free to ask if you have any questions...

Do you know this? You cas find there some inspiration and contacts. Die Büchsenmacher: Meisterwerke der Handwerkskunst. Christoph Tavernaro porträtiert rund 30 dieser traditionellen Werkstätten. Die Büchsenmacher präsentieren ihre Unternehmen, ihre schönsten Jagdgewehre und deren technische...

My reasoning: - This is a hunting trip, so whatever you shoot, you have to pay for it, and it might be expensive. Whether you kill it or not. - In the evening, it's hard to estimate distances accurately with night vision. - Can you see with night vision how the game is standing? Is it standing...

Since I was a kid, it's been my dream to study to be a gunsmith (just for fun and as hobby). In Slovakia, I could study it part-time while working. However, I live now in Austria, where it is not possible...

Hi, I'm from Slovakia. It's often the case that "local PHs" are not serious in Central Europe. If you're interested, I can give you the contact details of a friend of mine who I go hunting with. He owns a travel agency that specialises in organising hunting trips, and he has lots of contacts...

Emotional big game hunting. The closer it gets, the more afraid you become!

The three key elements to consider are the type of bullet, the energy at the target, and shot placement. The name doesn't matter. In my opinion, the excessive hype and hate surrounding the Creedmoor caliber stems from people overestimating their abilities. They think that if they have an...

Our PH was Shingy, and he was really cool. Whether for me as a complete beginner in Africa, or for my friend Roman, who has been hunting all over the world for a long time. PH was there as a freelancer, it was through a travel agency, I don't know the details exactly. But now he has set up his...

Thank you. I'm surprised myself at how well it turned out. I'm glad it's good to watch and doesn't bore the viewer. We tried to hunt interestingly :P Cowboy:

If you liked the report, we have already finished the video which is available on YouTube. Thanks to my friend Peter for the video. I hope you will enjoy it, I'm no movie star and it was a first time for me :oops::D Beer Bottle: If anyone is interested in a similar video of a hunt for example...

I also met someone from the internet, even from this forum. Completely blind, after just a few emails and phone calls and with my whole family. Not only have I hunted chamois with him, but the family want to visit him again this summer! :D

Hi, I hunted with PH Shingi when he was a freelancer. Elephant trails were just newly established then. We talked about it a lot. I can recommend him. My report is here on AH. I haven't seen Camp, Matetsi has a good name and reputation. PH and Team were great - see report. If you have questions...

Ein richtig großer Keiler ist immer eine gute Wahl! I don't know exactly what the pricing is, what would fit in the limit, but yes, this is also a good option for jungle hunting.

Something in the jungle. Everybody hunts in the savannah, I would go for bongo or forest buffalo in Cameroon, Congo or CAR.

I hunted with Shingi. Here is also my report on AH. It wasn't through Elefant Trails at the time but he was freelancing in another area. He was a great guy, very nice and hardworking, we hunted from dusk till dawn every day. Until we got what we wanted. As a beginner he helped me a lot, gave me...

Interesting discussion. Personally, I think it is not just about age, but also behaviour and position in the herd. I recommend this professional book (free in pdf) for example, there is a lot of interesting scientific information, not just guesswork...

Thinking about stalking red deer in Scotland - is it worth going during the rut? Hi there, I'm thinking of going deer hunting/stalking in Scotland next year, and I'm wondering if it's worth going during the rut or not. In central Europe, red deer are very active during the rut, often coming...

Hi, I really like Lower Austria, but due to my work and family situation we haven't explored much yet. I haven't been hunting here yet, I haven't found any opportunities in the area, but I'm going on a chamois hunt in Tirol in August, so I'm really looking forward to it. It was easier to...

Herzlichen willkommen und Waidmannsheil! Have fun and feel free to leave a comment with some suggestion at https://www.africahunting.com/threads/german-books.72694/ Which part of Austria are you from? I am currently a guest worker in Lower Austria. I am happy to see someone from Central Europe...

Interesting, but quite complicated. Full text of the original scientific article - https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scitranslmed.adk4802

Hi, if you would like to combine it with hunting in Slovakia, let me know and I will put you in touch with a reliable operator with whom I also hunt.

Good questions. I had similar ones and subsequently processed and answered them here ;) https://www.africahunting.com/threads/zimbabwe-story-of-the-hunt-for-two-dagga-boys.81968/

Dr. Rolf D. Baldus - the author of the book I mentioned at the beginning of the article and which motivated me to really travel to Africa to hunt - 'Auf den Fährten der Big Five: Vier Jahrzehnte Afrikajagd' (On the Tracks of the Big Five: Four Decades of Hunting in Africa), won the CIC Literary...

Today's incident, which may lead to further restrictions on firearms in the European Union. Regardless of political opinion, I wish our prime minister a speedy recovery. Slovakia’s Prime Minister Fico ‘fighting for his life’ after being shot multiple times in ‘politically motivated’ attack

This is a nice book about current German and Austrian small producers. https://wildundhund.de/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/11/Die_Buechsenmacher.pdf

Thank you very much, I am glad that you like the report. It was really great for the first time...now I'm afraid to go again :D During the preparations, I looked forward to each report, from which I learned new things and gained useful information. So I wanted to give back to this great AH...

Buffalo hunting in Zimbabwe. Period: End of rainy season, March 2024 Travel agent: HEMING, hunting travel agency, Slovakia Professional hunter: Shingi, freelancer Early January, while lying in bed on a cold, snowy evening, I was reading a book about hunting in Africa. I was trying to improve...

Consider the EU arms embargo to Zimbabwe when deciding which country to go to. In February, the validity was extended again by one year.

As colleagues have written, when an SA node dysfunctions, another tissue takes over its function. Damage to the large vessels in the chest has the same effect on haemodynamics as cardiac arrest. Anyway, this in itself is not a reason for immediate death (only in a few seconds - the organism can...

I won't argue, I'm not a lawyer. I will only give my opinion (and the opinion of my lawyer- not expert for internation law) on the official document, which few have read in its entirety. I would just hate for people looking for information here on forum to be confused and have problems. It's...
