Greg has had over 500 articles published and writes approximately 75 new articles each year. The sheer volume of stories makes it very difficult to maintain a complete articles page, so we have elected to provide links to a selection of stories that might prove helpful to our clients. Topics covered include trophy photography, shooting uphill and downhill, premium bullets, choosing a rifle for your safari, and selecting a safari destination. We have also included links to a few of Greg’s adventure stories from Petersen’s Hunting.
