Belén had the great fortune to be born in a family of hunters. From a very early age she has had a close and constant relationship with hunting. Good advice from her father and great maestro helped her to learn how to enjoy the countryside and appreciate a good day’s hunting.

She acknowledges that it was hard at first, as her father was always preaching patience, prudence, seriousness, doing things well and at the right time – a hard lesson to learn for such a young girl who was very enthusiastic- but experience has shown her that things indeed turn out when they should, and that all the patience and enthusiasm shown in her learning phase earns its due reward.

Later on, her hobby became her profession, and she enjoyed her years at the head of HUNTERS magazine enormously. It was an unforgettable phase in her personal and professional life which, when the time was right, she left behind to manage an interesting project that, as a hunter, she considered necessary for the hunting sector in Spain: the Oficina Nacional de la Caza (National Hunting Office). She is currently Secretary of the Real Club de Monteros, advisor to the Game Hunting Trophy Homologation Commission of the region of Madrid and regularly appears in specialist media on the hunting sector (magazines, radio and TV).

She is a great defender of authentic hunting in the company of her family and friends. She openly admits that she loves the monteria espagnola – a modality she practises whenever she can – and all the hunting expeditions organised by her husband.

Frank Brophy (1944) commenced hunting as an 8-year old. He spent his entire working life in the Dublin newspaper industry and is currently Ireland’s longest serving shooting sports writer.  A competitive rifle target shooter at top level for 25 years, he still competes in rifle and pistol events.  Frank is a former National Chairman of the Irish Deer Society, and a founder member and present Vice-Chairman of the St. Hubert Club of Ireland. A veteran of 25 African Hunting Safaris he is one of Ireland’s most experienced big game hunters and has hunted in the USA and Europe.  In 2004, in Dublin’s High Court and with NARGC backing, Frank successfully challenged the Irish Government’s policy of refusing to issue pistol licences and in June of that year became the first Irish citizen to receive a pistol licence for over 32 years.  In 2008, following a 6 year legal battle he won a second High Court challenge against the State’s refusal to licence a large calibre rifle for use in Africa.  Today he is to the forefront in an ongoing series of NARGC court challenges to Irish Government firearms licensing policy.

He mainly works for Svensk Jakt, the largest hunting magazine in Sweden, but also for magazines in the other Scandinavian countries, the Continent and the USA.

Sten has written several books on hunting in Scandinavia, gun dog training and even a game cooking book. Some of these are translated into Danish, Norwegian, Finnish and one into German.
