Jared Matthews went way up to the Cobourg Peninsula in quest of a banteng bull — not once, but twice before he got the old trophy he was chasing, and his adventure is full of challenge (including a broken ankle!) and camaraderie that’ll make you want to get up there yourself.
David Hughes writes about hunting chital and explains why they’re his favourite deer, and Martin Auldist spins a tale about his trips to hunt camels in the outback and why that is one of the hidden gems of big game hunting in Australia.
Closer to home, Leon Wright chases small game in an effort to satisfactorily answer the question, “Pa, can we go hunting?”
Light, highly adjustable and lovely to shoot, Browning’s upgraded X-Bolt Speed rocks, especially in the Ovix Speed version we’ve got here.
Meanwhile, the Chimera adds momentum to the new wave of button-release repeaters hitting the Australian market.
It’s all in this issue so grab a copy now!
