Let me introduce myself first. My name’s Robert Atanassov. I’m publishing the “Bulgarian Hunter” magazine and hosting the programs “Time for Hunting” on TV7 and “ Hobby” TV. Meanwhile I am a professional hunter, which doesn’t mean I earn my bread by selling furs the way the trappers used to do. I organize hunting expeditions for people who are ignorant about certain terrains and game habitats. I’m saving their time, ensuring a good hunting day, week or longer periods.

We were returning from an exhausting hunting day. ……… The sunrise found us in the jeeps. We’d been moving towards the first ambushes. Strangely enough for the season, there was no snow. It had been the mildest winter in my lifetime. Anyway, everything around was deep in white-frost and fog. The vehicles left us on a mountain ridge and we continued on foot. Wild boars were our main target. Judging by the tracks left behind by their hooves and snouts, the neighborhood was abundant in pigs.
