• Banteng, Australia’s unique opportunity by Matt Graham.
• Hunting Botswana’s big tuskers: the full-length video feature of Larry Shores’ 2012 hunting safari.
• Images of Africa, the photography of Anton Dahlgren.
• Audio book, the first part of the story of Cecil John Rhodes.
• Field Notes, the grey ghost of the bushveld.

Perhaps you should have put 'Sullivan' in the topic heading!!!

You should work up some of your outstanding prose in an article for him.

Zig...Just watched your movie on Lions that I got from Greg.
Outstanding!

Zig has done more for the conservation of Lion than any other person I know.

Chaps like this are few and far between.

Please make this available for Android. Not all of us have drank the apple koolaid.

that's impossible. everyone knows joloburn is the best thing that has ever happened to wildlife conservation in Africa, especially lions

Crickey Andrew, that is one hell of a compliment but not true. All that we are trying to do is get the message out about the work people like you are doing at Royal Kafue. TGTS and Bwanamitch in Tanzania is another good example. There is a lot of good work that hunting operations are doing for both wildlife and human communities across the world but it goes unnoticed. The mainstream media is not interested.

But for Hunt Geo to work we need readers so please, anyone out there who has an iPad please download it and tell us what you think. Tell your friends and antis as well!!

Akpls,

Unfortunately at this time iBooks is only available on iPad. I don't know if Apple plans to make it available on other tablets but I doubt that they will. iBooks is available in 51 countries and they are expanding.

Matt G,

Thanks for the encouragement and we look forward to your next article on politics and hunting in Australia. I am still trying to figure out how to include Sullivan in the thread title to get more hits!!

Frostbit,

I filmed an interview with Andrew in Royal Kafue and it will be featured in a future edition of HG.

Matt U,

Thanks for the compliment, I am glad that you enjoyed the lion movie.

Has anyone downloaded this yet? Any feedback?

I really like it Zig and this is how all magazines should look like in the future with integrated videos etc! You guys must be the company in Africa that holds most videos of hunting camps, different species/ countries etc - Why not a hunting video app ? you can search by country, species or just look at camps that you are going to stay in. At least I would buy a App like that!

Downloaded to my I-Pad, it is now my favourite Hunting Magazine! Top job to everyone involved, truly is the Hunting Magazine of the future. Especially enjoyed the Game warden interview, not to mention the Video of Larry Shore Big Tuskers, the outstanding photo's........
Can see a lot of effort has gone into the planning of the entire set-up, very user friendly. The idea of the 15 min Video's works extremely well.
The only question I have is when is the next edition going to be available? and is there an easy way to be notified that it is on the iBook store?
Congratulations to all involved
Scott

Anton,

Thanks for that. A very good idea of yours and worth looking into.

Scott,

I am glad to hear that you liked it. We are hoping to bring the magazine out on a quarterly basis so the next issue will be in July. We have a lot of material so I am positive each issue will be better than the last. At this stage I don't think that Apple has a way of notifying when the new issue is available but we will figure out some way of letting people know, probably through Facebook.

If you have a Facebook account please click on the link below and "Like" the page.

Thanks!!

Hey Zig,
I just stumbled onto this thread and you magazine. What a delight! Well written and produced. I was especially delighted with the Botswana video as we are headed there in June to Hunt with Butler and Holbrow and Murray. What a treat to see such a well done preview of what we have in store. Can't say thanks enough and can't wait for the next issue. Keep up the good work! Jim

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the compliment and I am glad that you enjoyed the magazine. The next edition will be out in July. Good luck on your safari with Murray Hibbs and Butler and Holbrow Safaris. Murray is a great guy and a good hunter. Hold out for the big one!!
