Big game hunting: travelling the world’s greatest hunting destinations
Big game hunting takes you to places most people will never see – the Tanzanian miombo at first light, the high ridges of the Rockies in elk season, the Scandinavian forest in the rut. Closer to home, the Scottish Highlands offer some of the finest deerstalking in the world, with red stag on open hill ground that tests a rifle shot and a pair of legs in equal measure.
Fieldsports Journal’s big game pages cover the full spectrum: UK deerstalking across all six species, African plains game and dangerous game, North American elk, moose and bear, European driven hunts and the destinations that serious hunters travel the world to reach. Destination guides, outfitter profiles, rifle and ammunition selection, conservation and the ethical framework that defines responsible hunting – written by hunters who have made these trips and know what they are talking about.
