It is only with the contribution of Universal Hunter’s readers that we can make a success of this magazine. Please feel free to send in your trophy photos, hunting experiences, hunting tips, products and any article or contribution you might consider a benefit to fellow hunters or the hunting industry in general.

To improve the chances of having your photo or article published, please keep the following in mind: make sure you submit high quality and high resolution digital pictures, preferably taken with a camera with a minimum of five megapixels. When possible or appropriate try not to take a picture with things like fences, vehicles, buildings or other man-made objects in the background. Never hold a small animal by the head or feet so that it hangs down. Rather put it on an anthill or a log. If you have to take a photo in the dark, let a vehicle shine its headlights (on dim) on you and the trophy. Position the animal so that the hunter looks into

the sun. Wash off or hide all blood that is on the animal or on the ground that might show in the photo. Balance the head so that it shows the animal in a relaxed way. Try not to sit directly behind the focus point of the animal — the head. Rather sit by the back legs. The idea is for the hunter to show only his/her upper body from behind the animal. If the trophy is small, lie down behind it and put it up in front of you holding the head up with your hand under the chin. The camera must be as low as possible. Remove all grass, rocks etc. in front of the animal. Do not put your foot or yourself on an animal in a disrespectful way. Always check that the tongue of the animal is not protruding. Cut it off or put it back in the mouth.

We prefer submissions by email, but you are welcome to send CDs or written articles if you do not have a computer available. In this situation, printed photos may also be submitted. Please send all submissions to [email protected].

UHM Breaking New Ground

The UHM team is proud to announce that we will be printing and distributing the Universal Hunter Magazine – African Edition, in Southern Africa from July 2014, on a bi-monthly basis. This is in addition

to our Universal Hunter Magazine printed and distributed in the USA and Canada.

Mauritz Coetzee, the well-respected Professional Hunter and ballistics expert, whose contributions include Bullet Talk in Universal Hunter Magazine, has been appointed as the Editor of the Universal Hunter Magazine – African Edition, and he will bring additional African-related articles, hunting stories and information, specifically aimed at the International Hunter traveling in Africa to the Universal Hunter Magazine – African Edition.

On a African note, all eyes are fixed on the decision of US Fisheries and Wildlife’s decision to ban Elephant Trophy imports from Tanzania and Zimbabwe into the USA. Delegates from various African Professional Hunter’s Associations met with lobbyists in Washington DC in early May, and we all hope that their efforts will convince the Congressmen and Senators not to penalize the hunters who, by hunting in Africa, are actually funding the conservation efforts in these countries.

In this edition of UHM, our cover story is the No.2 Colorado Mountain Goat that was hunted by Matt Geudes. Tim Herald shares with us his experience while hunting Moose in British Columbia and Alaska — the beautiful photographs taken on his trip paints the adventure for the reader. Jen and Norissa, the Girls with Guns ladies from the Universal Huntress TV Show share their African hunting adventure while hunting with Morgan Mills at Rhinoland in South Africa.

The special connection and adventure experienced between father and son when enjoying the outdoors together is described from a fathers viewpoint by John Dustin in A Fathers Joy on page 27.

We trust you will enjoy reading all our regular features from all over the hunting universe as much as it is a pleasure for us to bring them to you.

Safe hunting,

Team UHM
