Leica Pro Hunter Philippe Jaeger and Per Agerlund Jacobsen went hunting for tahr in the Godley River Valley in New Zealand’s Alps. Dirt, gravel, rain and even snow are constant companions and the animals can usually only be detected from a great distance. After five days of hunting (including eight hours of stalking per day in extremely difficult terrain), the two hunters finally got lucky.

 
Interesting video. The "red camo" didn't seem to be an issue.

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
