Decoy spread is just right, the blind as good as it can be in vast open country. A wonderful shot from the master himself, Jake Latendresse – photographer, moviemaker, hunter, husband, conservationist, father, dog nut, general adventurer and good guy. Oh and owner of a fantastic bar.  A life well lived. from Hunting Life - Moments of Truth  Peter P.

I've known Geoff Irvine for a while now. A pretty quiet and measured sort of Kiwi bloke, you might think. Well think again because the seems to be no limit to his skills and knowledge. He worked with me on Hunting New Zealand - Parts Unknown and was kind enough to contribute this image to Hunting Life - Moments of Truth.  Great around camp, quietly hilarious, a crack shot and camera ninja.

Meat drop by Zambeze Delta Safaris, Mozambique. Image - Rayno Egner. Big game and game fish don’t live in places where there are plenty of jobs. Go to any developing country and it will be old people you see in the bush and in the fields. It's a hard life. The young have moved to the city and whatever benefits that might bring them. Those who remain need a reason to be there. Guides, skippers, trackers and deckhands have jobs, which means tips and status. The cooks and other camp staff aren’t … [Read more...] about Ecotourism
