Ladies and Gentlemen,

We were discussing the merits - and lack of - hunting magazines that are suppose to deal with Africa.

Without exception, everyone here agreed that HATARI TIMES is head and shoulders above anything else.

It is the only one that most of us seem to read from cover to cover.

We just wish it was published more often.

Hatari Times

think that you have say all about this, we can close it here with success

Hunting yes but my all around favorite is still Man Magnum magazine...I get hunting and guns stuff too. I subscribe to everything there is (as far as I know) dealing with anything to do about Africa (hunting and guns) and MM is my favorite.
I have always had a hard time figuring out if I like guns best or hunting best or guns / hunting best...I think I really like pulling the trigger best

So Bill, are you saying all those rich guys who take their "wives" hunting are married to bimbos?

BTW- I could easily drive circles around you all day. You should see what I can do with a patrol car!!!!!!

I gave up my subscription to Hatari Times. Too irregular, too self-serving, too arrogant, and too expensive. Maybe I'm just too jealous!

They (AH, MM, SCI, HT, etc.) all have their merits (especially the ones that publish my stories ).

Despite the irregularity etc of Hatari Times, I still think it's my favorite and look forward to each new one. I'm just irritated that I'm missing the first issue...

If anyone has one they want to throw out, let me know!

A good product is also made by the people who stand behind it, and I don't have enough words to praise African Hunter staff. It is great to deal with people like that.

I agree with you Lorenzo. Don, Alan, Anthony et all have been great people to deal with.

Gentlemen

I subscribe to HATARI TIMES. I think it's a great magazine Harald is a nice person even if I'm not shareing all his opinions

I think Gayana and the other writers at African Hunter does a good job. Now, I'm hopeing that Man Magnum get my subscription form

Actually I prefer to buy books rather than buying magazines

Saeed- How about a new odd hunting magazine called WALTHERHOG JOURNAL

Cheers
/ JOHAN

I agree with Will.
Hatari times is good but has only one Mr Harald Wolf...
-there Man Magnum has Mr Koos Barnard, Mr Gregor Woods among others.

I go for Man Magnum

Husky

My favorite is Hatari times and mostly because Harold features a new caliber in each issue and builds the issue around that particular caliber and that's different and very interresting IMO....

I like Man Magnum also, its a good publication, but I do dislike half of the articles in dutch, it would be nice if they would double print the ariticles for all of us to read or actually make two issues of each, one in each language, I'd bet sales would increase substantially..Its not very professional they way they are doing it now...

I am surprised no one has mentioned AFRICAN SPORING GAZETTE. It is a slick and beautiful piece, with good articles and information, and it's my favorite.

DDugan,

I haven't seen many of the others, but I picked up Vol. 9, Issue 2 of the African Sporting Gazette at this year's SCI meeting in Reno because it has a few photos of mine in it.

Anyway, it's certainly a well-done layout and has very nice photo reproduction. I haven't read too many of the articles, but the ones I did read were fairly well written. -TONY

I think I might stop telling Walter not to write his own articles.

They cannot be any worse than those supposedly written by women hunters which SCI Safari magizene publishes

Hey Saeed, at least the women hunters can spell "magazine" correctly!

Ray, they are in Afrikaans not Dutch. Afrikaans and Dutch have some common words but so does English and Afrikaans. There is only typically one article per magazine in Afrikaans. Many of the want adds and some of the adverts are in Afrikaans as well though.

If I could not read Afrikaans I would probably feel the same as you do. I was retyping some of these for a few friends of mine years ago with much reduced text! just the jist of the story. However I am too busy to continue with that now. I might have the old articles I re-wrote on my hard drive if you want them I can Email them to you.
They don't have the photo's or the charts and such. Just the text.

Hey, they might be able to spell once they go through the spell-checker, but they still can't drive.

"...I could easily drive circles around you all day..."

I bet you will be try to go straight though.

Why would anyone want to read a hunting story written by a woman?

Didn't Pam Atwood kill a huge ele recently?

Right from the beginning of time, man is the hunter, and provider for the family.

Women stay home and look after the children.

This is an unescapable fact of man's life.

And we believe the sole purpose of God creating woman, was for man's pleasure.

It was all written in my favorite book.

One Thousand And One Night

Saeed, where is my Sugar Daddy!!!!

As a gift I was given a subscription to
African Sporting Gazette It seems to arrive on time and is nicely put together. I would reccomend it. I will renew my subscription. I year 4 issues, $35.00 US

The only problem with Hatari Times is that out of two (2) one year subscriptions, I have received only three (3) issues total. It is quite discouraging. But it is a nice magazine.

The Africans have it right.

The woman do all the field work and brew the beer. The men sit in the shade and drink the beer while the women do all the work and they discuss many important things over the beverage.

When did we all go wrong in the Western world?

If you contact Magnum they have a man who translates the Afrikaans into English and he will put you on his list and you get the translation automatically. No charge. Good translations. The most interesting article to me always seems to be in Afrikaans.
