The January–March Edition of Big Game Hunter Magazine Is Out Now...
The January–March edition of Big Game Hunter Magazine is now live, and it delivers exactly what the magazine was built on: real hunting stories, told by real hunters, from the paddocks, mountains and wild places of the world.
This issue runs over 60 pages and is packed with raw, firsthand adventure—no press releases, no recycled content, and no glossy nonsense. Just honest hunting experiences written by people who have lived them.
What’s Inside This Issue
The 1970s Sambar Deer Chronicles - A powerful look back at an era when Australian deer hunting was raw, physical, and learned the hard way. This story captures the grit, bushcraft and mindset of a generation that laid the foundations for modern sambar hunting.
Have Enough Gun for Africa - A hard-earned lesson from dangerous game country. This is not theory or opinion—it is experience. Shot placement, calibre choice, and the realities of African hunting are laid bare.
Bucket List Hunting in Australia - From iconic species to remote landscapes, this piece explores the hunts every Australian should aspire to—and what it really takes to make them happen.
Sandhill Cranes: Are They the Ribeye in the Sky? - A fascinating and often misunderstood game-bird. This article dives into the hunting tradition, the eating quality, and why sandhill cranes have earned their legendary nickname.
Texas Whitetail Hunt - A boots-on-the-ground account of American whitetail hunting, blending tradition, modern management, and the unique culture that surrounds one of the world’s most hunted deer species.
And that’s only part of what’s inside. This issue spans continents, species, and decades—linked by a shared respect for the hunt and the stories that come from it.
Best Story Prize
To encourage quality storytelling, Big Game Hunter Magazine is running a Best Story Prize for this edition. The winning contributor will receive a Fenix LED headlamp, a practical, field-ready piece of gear valued by hunters who actually use their equipment.
