Shake off winter and warm up to the promise of an exciting African safari with the January/February 2024 issue of Sporting Classics. In this issue we go after leopard in Namibia and sit with Jim Corbett in what was likely his most important night vigil.
Meet Jim Bridger, the hard-to-kill trapper and explorer of America’s West and join Ewart S. Grogan on a turn-of-the-century rhino hunt on the Upper Nile. Sandhill cranes have been called the “ribeye of the sky” and Tony Kinton takes us hunting for them in Texas farmland.
What makes a better hunting dog for today’s hunters, a single- or multi-purpose pooch? Tom Keer answers that question, while Chris Dorsey takes us waterfowling on the Saskatchewan prairies where hundreds of thousands of ducks and geese converge.
Michael Thompson relates the story of a friendship gone awry but brought back together by the passage of time and a long-lost dog, while Ron Spomer tells us about Springfield Armory’s sleek new rimfire rifles.
