Simon Barr hunts driven boar in Croatia with Artemis Hunting, as well as considering whether our own laws to enough to protect the species in the UK. We’ve also got reports from a selection of European boar outfitters on how their 2011 season as gone, as well as the chance to win a Zeiss Duralyt 2-8x42 scope worth £890.
We’ve also lined up a host of kit for testing, including the Browning A-Bolt Composite UK Stalker and the Steyr Mannlicher Classic. Calibre enthusiast Byron pace tests some .243 ammo from value for money manufacturer Geco, while Mike Powell tests four wildlife cameras side by side.
Foxers have plenty to tempt them while the winter continues.

We’ve also showcased a host of night vision and thermal imaging kit for dedicated foxers.
