SOUTH AFRICA
GERS SAFARIS South Africa is renown for its excellent antelope hunting, and with Julius Gers in the beautiful Northern Cape, you can enjoy this exciting bush adventure at its best.
Gers Safaris lies in the Northern Cape Province, where we only work with one partner. Here you have the opportunity to hunt for around 30 different species of antelopes, including some of the lesser common species such as white blesbok, all 4 types of springboks, Scimitar oryx, tsessebe, sable and roan. Of course, you can also find all the more usual species such as impala, wildebeest, hartebeest, oryx and more.

The farm itself - Klein Papkuil - is 16,000 ha in size, and there is access to an additional area of other 30,000 ha on nearby concessions/districts. The hunting at GERS safaris is definitely not easy - here you will enjoy exciting tracking and stalking on foot through dense bush in rough terrain. The lodge has an informal atmosphere in which guests feel at home from the first moment they arrive.
Over the years we have sent many hunters to this fantastic place, and everyone - without exception - have been really thrilled with it.

The lodge is placed perfectly in peaceful surroundings. The rooms are comfortable, and all have en-suite facilities. There is also a beautiful garden with a large swimming pool. During 2019, GERS Safaris upgraded their lodge, adding new rooms (= suites) and a new swimming pool. Now the lodge offers 11 rooms and 3 suites.
The food served here is well worth writing home about. Delicately prepared African dishes, where game is often cooked over the glowing ember of the fireplace. The farm is run by Julius and his wife Madelene, and it is a matter of pride for them to ensure their guests enjoy an unforgettable stay here.

For several years now, the buffalo hunting in Zambia has been some of the best in Africa, and it is available at the best price on the market. We have sent plenty of our customers on one of these hunts and it seems to go straight into their blood as, not surprisingly, many of our buffalo hunters have become regulars here. A 7-day buffalo hunt can be combined with hunting for a further 6 species, including hippopotamus, crocodile and puku.

As soon as you arrive in the hunting camp, you can sense a really special atmosphere, and you are always made to feel really welcome by the local Zimbabweans who works for Kwalata Safaris. Today, Kwalata Safaris holds the hunting rights to some of the very best hunting districts in Zambia. Kwalata offers outstanding big game- and antelope safaris on five districts in the Luangwa Valley and in Mufunta, on 500,000 ha of land west of the huge Kafue National Park. Additionally, they also offer hunting for swamp dwelling species in the Bangweulu Swamps. When on any of their hunts, you can book an extra day’s hunting to bag a much sought-after Kafue lechwe, which are found on the enormous plains to the west of Lusaka.
However, Zambia is best known for its wealth of lions, leopard, and buffalo. In Zambia, you also have the unique opportunity to hunt for a number of unusual and exciting game species such as puku, black- and Kafue lechwe, sitatunga and defassa waterbuck.

The success rate for buffalo is first class and our partner in Mozambique offers an excellent opportunity to experience a traditional buffalo hunt. It is an adventure in itself just to fly to the hunting district in a chartered aircraft, which allows you to see the enormous river delta from above. Hunters visiting the Zambezi Delta are following in the footsteps of legendary big game hunters such as Wally Johnson, Harry Manners and Robert Ruark. The hunting concession is over 135,000 ha in size. Before the civil war, it was home to a buffalo population estimated at 50,000 animals. Now the population stands at 20,000 in Coutada 10, 11, 12, 14, and the Marromeu Game Reserve, which together cover an area of over one million hectares. The goal is to get the population of buffalo up to 40,000 individuals, and they are well on the way. There is certainly enough grass and water for them. The Zambezi Delta is an incredibly diverse biome, offering many different habitat types: huge rivers, swamps, grass-
lands, and forests - and it is because of this diversity that you can find so many different animal species here. This area is probably the only place in the world where you can hunt free-living nyala, sable, and waterbuck, that are still able to gather in large herds, while smaller species such as suni, orbi, red and blue duiker etc. continue to attract more and more attention from hunters visiting here. Naturally, the large areas of natural wetlands that occur here make hunting crocodile into something really special. To get here, you will normally first fly to Johannesburg and then on to Beira. After clearing customs and your weapon declaration, you will then fly from Beira to the hunting district in a small chartered aircraft.

ZIMBABWE
BIG GAME HUNTING AT ITS BEST
It almost goes without saying that Zimbabwe is one of the biggest and best destinations for big game hunting. Here you can hunt solid, sustainable populations of four members of the Big Five: elephant, buffalo, lion, and leopard. We work in partnership with some of the best safari outfitters in this classic hunting destination, which is naturally mirrored in the success of our customers’ hunts.
Impala
Nearly all our hunts in Zimbabwe take place in districts that are home to the big five. This really gives hunting here an extra dimension. Imagine, for example, stalking plains game around an irate elephant or passing a pack of lions. A hunting tour in Zimbabwe always gives you a special African experience.

Bezoar
Kapitale wild boar
Individual wild boar hunts Wild boar in Turkey are considerably larger, both in body size and trophy length, than wild boar in Europe. Large boar here can weigh more than 300kg, while the largest wild boar shot here weighed 395kg. Occasionally their tusks can reach a length of 30cm! Our partner can offer a wide range of prime wild boar districts with a combined area of over one million hectares. They mainly lie in Anatolia and close to the Black Sea coast. All are hilly, forested highland districts - typically at an altitude of 1,000 to 1,500m above sea level. Driven Hunts for Wild Boar Over the past few seasons we have organised a number of driven hunts, all producing good results. In Turkey you will not find any fences, so you are guaranteed hunting in open countryside. The hunt itself will be carried out either in Anatolia close to Konya or close to the Black Sea coast near the town of Tokat. Although, as previously mentioned,
the population of wild boar in Turkey is very good, you should not count on shooting as many boar as you might be used to on a good driven hunt in Poland or Hungary. However the percentage of large boar shot will be much higher, on some hunts 40% of the boars shot are of a very impressive size. No supplement will be charged for these huge “keilers”, all wild boar regardless of their size are included in the price. Bezoar Ibex Do you enjoy hunting in the mountains? If so this challenging hunt for the largest ibex of them all - the bezoar Ibex - will certainly appeal to you! Typically a large buck will carry a trophy that could measure somewhere from 90cm and up to 135cm. Turkey is one of the very few countries where you can hunt bezoar ibex, and our partner has access to first class concessions both in Antalya and eastern Turkey.

Hunt in Slovakia work together with some of Slovakia’s best private hunting districts. They do a lot of preparatory work which ensures they can always offer visiting hunters the best, carefully selected, hunting districts.
Slovakia is often overlooked as a hunting destination by many people. This is a pity as it offers some very well organised hunts for most of the well-known European game species. The feedback from our hunters visiting here has been fantastic. They have given reports of large populations of game, beautiful hunting districts and impressive trophies. Hunt in Slovakia specializes in driven hunts but can also offer some very good hunts for mouflon, red stags and fallow bucks, all with the chance of bagging a very good trophy, and of course hind stalking. Driven Hunts In Slovakia driven hunts are normally arranged for large groups of min. 17 - 25 hunters. They are often remarkable
An impressive parade
for their beautiful, and very varied, parades which can include a good variety of wild boar, red deer, fallow deer, fox and even mouflon - all depending on the district which you are hunting in. All driven hunts are arranged in nonfenced districts of between 1,500 and 8,000 hectares. Typically you will hunt on a new district every day with fresh beaters and dogs. The day will consist of 2 - 4 large drives, which moves the game and presses them towards the line of guns. Please note that in Slovakia it is not allowed to shoot antler bearing game on driven hunts. Hunters are accommodated in charming hotels/guesthouses, depending on the size of the group. Your hosts will make sure you enjoy festive evenings and good food from the rich traditions of Slovakia’s local cuisine.

A beautiful red stag
Red- and fallow deer hunts Hunts for red stag and fallow bucks are organised during their ruts, in September and October respectively. There is a very good chance of shooting an excellent trophy during the rutting season here. Hunt in Slovakia can offer hunting in some of the country’s best districts for red stag and fallow buck. It is possible to find some very impressive red stags, trophies of up to 8 - 11 kg are not unrealistic. Also the fallow bucks are huge in these areas and it is possible to bag a really good trophy of between 4 -5 kg! In 2022 a really impressive fallow buck with a trophy weight of 6kg was taken here.
Mouflon Mouflon hunts can be arranged from mid-October to the end of February. Mouflon is hunted in hilly terrain, which often makes the hunt very challenging. It is possible to combine this hunt with hunting for wild boar and hind stalking. We should also mention that the trophy fees for mouflon rams are very favourable in Slovakia.

One of the most reputable hunt organizers in Asia, Anna has an in-depth knowledge of all the many different hunts offered by the Stalker group.
Hunting takes place in the most inaccessible districts imaginable, thus avoiding any hunting pressure from local hunters. Therefore you must be prepared to spend a lot of time travelling before you finally reach your hunting district. You will hunt in districts with no roads, which means horses are the best means of transport in this huge wilderness. Hunting methods can vary greatly, depending on the terrain, the game and the season you are hunting in.
The Stalker Group offers you the option of renting weapons on site, which can lighten the heavy burden of the bureaucracy that is involved in transporting weapons through airports etc. However all mountain hunting makes a great demands on both equipment and your physically capa bilities, which is why some people prefer to bring their own gear, which is the option we would recommend.
The Stalker Group offers hunting in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, Mongolia and other countries. The species offered by The Stalker Group includes Ibex, Tur, Marco Polo Sheep, Markhor, the iconic Tian Shan Maral and the Siberian roe buck. All offer an intense and challenging hunt in the mountains. There are many possibilities - so please contact us to hear what we can offer you.

HUNT & HIKE
A WILD ADVENTURE We can now offer something completely new, tours with Hunt & Hike, a company founded by twin sisters Trine & Rikke.
Twin sisters Trine & Rikke have both been educated, and worked as, hunting guides in Canada. They have also hunted in many other parts of the world. They were born and raised with hunting and nature in their blood. They were first taught about outdoors life in the best way possible - by their grandfather and father, who are both qualified gamekeepers and passionated hunters. If you dream of a hunting trip where you take part in every aspect of the hunt, you have come to the right place. You can even bring the family, your partner or your friends as this kind of hunt has a very wide appeal. Hunt & Hike take you on a journey on which you don’t just have your finger on the trigger, you also take part in cleaning and preparing the game after it has been shot. In 2021 they both finished their training as hunting guides with a Canadian outfitter, and have guided both American and Canadian hunters on hunts for the king of the forest, Canadian Moose. Now, the two red-haired sisters offer hunters on the other side of the Atlantic the opportunity to live out their dreams of stalking and shooting moose, the biggest species of deer alive today, in the Canadian wilderness. Additionally they also offer hunting tours in Scotland, Sweden and Germany. On these hunts you can camp
in the wild, be surrounded by magnificent scenery and find plentiful game. Their aim is to bring hunters back to the time when you had to hunt for your food. The camp is in the heart of the hunting terrain. From the camp you will set out to harvest the game you wish for, whether it is a roebuck, a highland stag, a wild boar or other game species. The frame they create is secure, educational and professional. With Hunt and Hike you will feel one hundred percent welcome from the moment you meet Trine and Rikke in one of the adventurous Nordic camps they set up in fantastic hunting districts around the world. Both the hunt, and the conversations held around the campfire, will live long in your memory. Hunting is, and always will be unpredictable, but Hunt and Hike will take you on an unforgettable hunting adventure on which only the imagination sets the limits.

Wanted to give you the heads up that we just booked another trip for 2023. I’m sure it’s a long shot that you’ll be able to guide it but I’d love nothing more than to kill another big bull with you.

If you are, first and foremost, looking to experience as much hunting as you can for the least amount of money, then Poland’s autumn hunts for hind and calves could be the perfect hunting trip for you. Hunting for hinds, which are often more wary and alert than the males is at least as challenging as a trophy hunt. Mouflon hunts: Mouflon were first introduced into the mountainous regions of southwest Poland back in 1902. Today they are amongst the best wild populations in Europe. Stalking in to shooting range of a good mouflon ram is a hunting chal lenge that can be rewarded by one of Europe’s most handsome trophies. We have the possibility of offering a complete mouflon package on our districts in southwest Poland in the period between 1st October and 28th February. Combination hunts: On some of our districts in Poland we offer our popular combination hunts during the months of autumn and winter. These are arranged for small groups of between 5 - 7 hunters and normally last 3 days. Small-driven hunts are carried

out in the mornings, until around 12.30, then after lunch hunting continues with individual stalking for hinds, calves and wild boars. Driven hunts: For many hunters Poland is closely linked to their annual driven hunt. Driven hunting is usually carried out over 3 days for groups of between 12 - 16 hunters. Every day offers different drives and lunch in the forest. Allowable game is usually all wild boar plus the hind/does and calves. Unfortunately, in recent years, the size of the wild boar population has decreased in numbers because of the spread of ASF. This has resulted in far fewer driven hunts being offered, and that you can no longer expect very large number of wild boars.

HUNGARY
EXCELLENT TROPHIES AND A HIGH RATE OF SUCCES
We have organized hunting in Hungary with great success together with our long standing partner Attila. After working for many years in the business Attila’s knowledge and personal network in the Hungarian hunting community is second to none. It is a great reassurance for many of our hunters to know that Attila is always at hand and ready to help. Attila will normally be the one meeting our hunters from the airport when they land in Hungary, and making sure they are safely transferred to the hunting district.
Hungary has always been a country with a solid European hunting tradition. Hunting in Hungary is absolutely second to none, and if you are looking to add a really good trophy to your collection, you should definitely consider joining us on a trip to Hungary. Red stag hunting A high rate of success and really excellent trophies, in Hungary red stag trophies of over 16 kg have been taken. While on the best districts, the average trophy weight for rutting stags is normally between 7 - 12kg. To make it really clear, this is the place to go if you are looking for a really good trophy. As you might expect, huge Hungarian stag trophies are much in demand from hunters all around Europe. However, in Hungary they do operate with a unique system that ensures that a hunter only has to pay for his trophy if it falls within a range of +/- 15% of the size agreed upon in advance. It is your hunting guides responsibility to assess a stag’s trophy size to be within this margin. So, if you dream trophy is a red stag of above 10kg, Hungary will give you your best chance of success.

Hungarian driven hunts are some of the best in the world. Groups of 10 - 12 hunters can expect, under normal conditions, to shoot between 50 - 60 head of different game during a 3-day driven hunt - naturally depending on the weather and the hunters of the group. If you are looking for even more action, in Hungary it is also possible to arrange driven hunts in an area with wild boar fences, on which only boar is shot - this can be booked, for example, in combination with 2 days hunting in the open countryside.

Spain is an exclusive and absolutely fascinating hunting destination. Here you can find not only an exciting range of game species, some of which you can only hunt for in Spain, but also really fantastic countryside and a centuries-old hunting tradition. Hunting for the Spanish Ibex The Gredos ibex is the biggest of the 4 Spanish sub-species and is found in the Gredos mountains southwest of Madrid. In the Beciete Mountains, which are near the east coast of Spain, you can hunt another of the Spanish ibex, namely the Beciete ibex. This sub-species is highly sought after because of its long, spreading, palm like horns. In southern Spain you can hunt for the Sierra Nevada and the somewhat smaller Ronda ibex. Both of these sub-species are smaller in size than the Gredos and Beceite ibex, but this does not make the hunt any less exciting. One thing that all these hunts have in common is that they take place in wonderful nature and magnificent mountain scenery from 300 - 2500 meters in altitude. Cull hunt for Beceite ibex
The hunting season runs from October - May and the best time to hunt is during the rutting season in October, November and December. As an alternative to a trophy hunt, we can offer a really exciting cull hunt for Beceite ibex, which will give you real value for money! On Mallorca we can also offer hunting for Balearian buck, which can easily be combined with a family summer holiday. Spain offers a broad palette of hunts and we can tailor your tour anyway you wish for.

It is difficult to imagine a better hunting destination in Europe, but incredibly the country is still an overlooked gem. We have said it time and time again - Romania is a fantastic hunting destination…. When the country was part of the communist Eastern Bloc, all the hunting-eager party secretaries from the other countries hoped for a hunting invitation from Nicolai Causescu, because although they all spent plenty of resources on their own private hunting grounds, no one could match the hunting paradise of Romania. Big deer, big bucks, big wild boars, chamois and huge brown bears – that’s how it is today. In Romania, you can experience unparalleled European hunting!
Roebuck hunts Big roebucks in beautiful terrain, that can be just as challenging as you would like to make it. In Romania roebuck hunts are carried out as they are in the rest of Eastern-Europe so if you choose a roebuck hunting in Romania you will enjoy a hunt that you are familiar with in totally new surroundings. We should also mention that the very selective game management means that the proportion of medal roebucks here is top class.

France is a much overlooked hunting destination. Here you can find excellently organized hunts, a long hunting tradition and, not least, a good chance of a very fine trophy. Even though France is one of the world’s major tourist destinations, hunting has never really been offered to foreign hunters. We are therefore happy to be able to offer hunting in a number of different locations in this beautiful country. France can also offer a wealth of other wonderful attractions which makes it an ideal destination for the rest of the family. Here you can combine top quality hunting for chamois, roebuck and red stags with French culture, gastronomy, wine and nature. Over the last 10 seasons we have had a growing number of hunters on our roebuck districts in France, and the results have been extremely satisfying. Returning hunters have reported a dense population of old, mature bucks, good trophies, well organized hunting in very beautiful,
lush and varied terrain west of Toulouse. Every year many good medal-sized bucks are taken in the district, including several gold medal roebucks. The Pyrenees in the southern part of France does not just offer excellent mountain hunts for chamois, there is also the possibility of combing this hunt with hunting for red stags and mouflon. We only have good words for the game management, the guiding, hunt organization, trophy quality and game populations here. As you can also indulge in the many delicious specialties from the local French cuisine, things do not get much better than this.

CLASSICAL HUNTING IN IDYLIC SURROUNDINGS
Roebuck hunts South England is renowned for its large roebucks. This is largely due to the whole population of roe deer being outstanding because of the classic biotope they live in - large open fields, broken up by hedgerows and small woods - an ideal habitat for roe deers. At the same time the price levels here are very competitive, the cost of really top-class trophies is often significantly lower than elsewhere in Europe. We can offer some particularly good roebuck hunts on a number of different districts in the south of England which, ever year, deliver many medal roebucks, a large proportion being of the most precious metal.

Some animals managed to escape and the two species have since established themselves in the open countryside.

Our Scottish partner can offer fantastic pigeon shooting in southern Scotland. It is an incredibly attractive district with mixed farmland, woods, hedgerows and in some part’s beautiful hilly terrain - an ideal area for wood pigeons.
Stag hunting in the Scottish Highlands Have you ever shot a roaring stag, surrounded by its harem of hinds, on the top of a heather clad hill during the midst of an intense rut? If you haven’t , then there is a serious gap in your “hunting education” and you really owe yourself the chance to do something about it - luckily we are here to help you! Hunting in Scotland is an experience that will stay with you for a lifetime! Stag hunts in Scottish Highlands take place during the rut in September - October. It is difficult to describe the experience in words - you must feel the experience in your own body. It isn’t going too far to say that a Scottish stag hunt is an absolute classic European hunt! Two hunters usually hunt together with one stalker - a local hunting guide who will know the district like the back of his own hand. You will both shoot, which allows both hunters to share the whole experience. Another member of the hunting team will be the so-called ponyman, who is responsible for transporting the dead stag off the hill on horseback, or a four wheeled ATV. Hunters should be aware that this hunt is not a trophy hunt as you may have experienced in Eastern Europe. You are simply taking part in carrying out the district’s selective shooting policy. We can offer a number of good districts in the highlands of which some are more physical-
ly challenging than others, but on a hunt in the highlands getting your stag is never an easy “walk in the park”. The hunting in Scotland is very professionally organized and the stalkers (hunting guides) extremely competent. Roughshooting Scotland has a long hunting tradition and can offer a broad range of different types of hunting. One of the most traditional is “rough shooting” or “walking -up” where the fun and camaraderie is the name of the game. You will hunt over beautiful countryside with varied terrain, the focus on hunting for different game species and not necessarily just the amount of game you shoot. If wind, weather and everything else goes to plan, as a rule you can expect between 8 - 11 head of game per hunter in a group of 4 - 6 hunters. Roebuck hunts In southern Scotland, only an hours drive from Edinburgh, we can offer some very exciting roebuck hunting with very attractive trophy fees. The gamekeeper has access to a number of different hunting districts and can take up to 3 hunters at the same time. You can expect a ”average” sized buck, but there is the chance of medal bucks - read more about this tour on diana-hunting.com!

Additionally, a suitable number of partridges, pheasants and ducks are released here every year. The hunting for whitetail deer is particularly good here, because there has been no hunting for whitetail for 3 years.

We represent some of Argentina’s most exclusive wingshooting outfitters. Our partners offer several different standards of accommodation and catering. This is an experience for real hunting connoisseurs. Wingshooting For hunters who enjoy maximum intensity wingshooting nothing on earth can beat Argentinian “high intensity” pigeon shoots. In Argentina you can find districts where the skies literally swarm with birds, giving hunters the opportunity to take thousands of shots during a day’s hunting. If you don’t get your fill of wingshooting here, you are truly insatiable! Unsurprisingly the current record for the number of pigeons shot in a day was set here in Argentina. Incredibly, more than 13,000 birds were shot by a skilled American hunter. That can tell you a lot about the number of birds found here… Big game hunting Argentina is home to a wide range of big game species. Most of these are species that were introduced into the country more than a century ago. Hunters can find good populations of red deer, wild boar, axis deer, blackbuck, wild goat and water buffalo. For European hunters it is perhaps the axis deer and blackbuck, preferably in combination with shooting some of the fast flying pigeons and doves, that are of most interest. We have therefore expanded our portfolio with an exclusive
new outfitter in the Entre Rios province. Here we can offer combination hunts for pigeons, ducks, partridge and big game as well as the possibility of fishing in the Parana-river! Accommodation Accommodation is normally provided in the hunting district in the form of charming “estancias” - large country houses with plenty of space an a very hospitable atmosphere. The standard of food and drink served is excellent. Argentinians take pride in preparing really delicious food. It you enjoy eating meat, Argentina gives you a foretaste of heaven. Big juicy steaks from free roaming cattle, with tasty side dishes and a good bottle of Malbec red wine can be considered the national dish… It is not only the hunting, we have discovered, that plays a big part in your Argentinian experience. The country is also an ideal destination for non-hunters who, in addition to the rich culture in all its many facets, can enjoy the magnificent countryside and possibly supplement their stay with a stay in the colourful city of Buenos Aries. If you have never visited Argentina as a hunter, you will be pleasantly surprised the first time you do so!

CANADA AND ALASKA
THE NORTH AMERICAN WILDERNESS
North America has always been an almost legendary destination for hunters who love nature at its wildest. The harsh, inaccessible nature of the land has ensured that a large part of the country has never been densely populated outside of the larger towns. This is also why you can still find healthy populations of all native species. Many outfitters hunt in the most inaccessible districts, as they prefer to avoid any hunting pressure from local hunters. This often involves using either horses or bush-aircraft to both reach the district and as transport during the hunt. There are practically no roads in the areas they hunt, which makes horses the most practical means of transport in these large areas of wilderness. However, if there is road access, pick-up trucks, 4x4s or ATVs will be used. In areas with a lot of lakes and rivers, boats are used for getting around. Snowmobiles will be used if the hunter takes place in winter conditions. The hunting method employed is very dependent on the terrain, the game targeted, and the season of the year. The hunting method can be classical waiting for black bear or wolf, but more normally it will be carried out as “spot and stalk”. Winter hunts for puma and lynx is carried
out using dogs. Hunting for large moose takes place during the rutting season, when you attempt to “call-up” the big bulls. It is possible to bring your own hunting rifle to Canada, you simply need to have a Canadian weapons-import permit, which is a declaration you make in the airport when you arrive in Canada. Diana will be happy to help with the preparation for this. Many partners also offer hunters the possibility of hiring a rifle on site. Climate and weather The weather in Canada can be very changeable, rain, storms, snow and sunshine are all possible. It is therefore important to pack the correct equipment, considering the time of year, the species you are hunting, and wether you will be hunting in the mountains etc. Diana Hunting Tours can help in advising on preparing a packing-list in advance of you tour.
