Sporting Rifle  |  73
As the heights of winter continue, Sporting Rifle brings you the best of the cold weather sport from across the country. Brian Phipps ascends to a Highland peak amid a blizzard on the trail of roe does, while Mike Powell explores the unique foxing opportunities this time of year brings. Meanwhile, Simon Barr tests two thermal imaging units that can be particularly useful in the long, dark nights of winter.
It’s not about about the cold, though – this issue is a wild boar special, with thorough insights into the expansion of this majestic species in both the UK and Europe. Pete Carr, Simon Barr and David Barrington Barnes lead the investigation into management practices and hunting methods, while Mike Yardley recounts coming face to face with an angry boar in Tunisia.
We’ve also got an extended African hunting feature with a line-up of some of the continent’s top outfitters and agents, as well as hunts for bushbuck and spring hare and an insight into the .450 Rigby calibre.
All that and more, from rimfires to red deer – don’t miss it.
