Wetekom 4x32 Scope Review I recently had the opportunity to test out the Wetekom 4x32 scope, and I wanted to share my thoughts on its performance and overall value. Pros: Optical Clarity: One of the standout features of the Wetekom 4x32 scope is its optical clarity. The lenses provide a sharp, bright image with good color fidelity. Even in low light conditions, I found it easy to acquire targets, which is crucial for hunting or shooting at dawn or dusk. Compact Size: The scope's compact design makes it a fantastic choice for mounting on lightweight rifles. It doesn't add much bulk, which is a significant advantage for those who prefer a sleek and minimalistic setup. This is particularly beneficial for tactical or field situations where maneuverability is key. Ease of Use: The Wetekom 4x32 is user-friendly. The adjustments for elevation and windage are smooth and precise, allowing for quick and easy sighting in. It comes with clear markings that help in making adjustments without

Big Game Hunting Hunting in Africa Big Game - is for many the very essence of hunting in Africa. Big Game does not just mean big animals, but big challenges and experiences. Technically speaking by far the most hunting in Africa is actually Big Game Hunting. Even many species of antilope are actually classed as big game. However if is first and foremost The Big Five, that one thinks about when the conversation turns to big game hunting. Lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and rhinoceros have been the great attraction for Big Game hunters travelling to Africa on safari for centuries, and they still are. While it is true that hunting for rhino is perhaps not once what it once was, as today this species is highly protected and surrounded by a great deal of security, the remaining species can still be hunted in the wild African bush - with all the wonderful experiences that this brings with it. Generally speaking it is only in the areas where hunting outfitters operate that the increasing lev

Seeking Sun Amountain lion kills an elk calf in a wooded area of Taos, New Mexico. It happens in a small clearing that leads to one million undeveloped acres of Carson National Forest. That clearing is Garrett Vene Klasen’s front yard and he has a front-row seat for the wildest feast he’s ever witnessed. There’s only one problem. He doesn’t have the right camera. “The right camera would have made a huge difference,” says Garrett Vene Klasen, hunter and New Mexico Wild northern conservation director. “All I had was the camera on my doorbell, which is sad.” The shots from that doorbell camera are low-grade grainy and the audio sounds stuffed with earwax. You can tell what’s going on as long as you’re in range of the home’s Wi-Fi, but the experience is lackluster due to poor resolution and limited capabilities. Bushnell eliminates all that let down with its remote trail camera, CelluCore 20 Solar. “The biggest advantage is it’s real-time information relayed over cellular networks rat

Hunting in the Bloemfontein Region: Premier Lodges, Trophy Springbok, and Plains Game Adventures Geography and Natural Setting Located on South Africa’s central plateau, the Bloemfontein region is characterized by open grasslands, scattered acacia and thornveld, and gently rolling hills. This combination creates a diverse and inviting landscape for hunters, offering both visibility and natural cover for tracking and stalking game. The dry climate brings hot summers and cool winters, with the winter months from May through August being the most favorable for hunting. During this time, the vegetation thins out and animals are more active during daylight hours, increasing the chances of successful encounters. Hunting Demographics in the Bloemfontein The hunting community around Bloemfontein is both dynamic and diverse. Local landowners frequently open their private reserves to hunters from across South Africa and around the world. Thanks to the city’s accessible airport and strong inf

Review of the Orsis 120 .308 Win Rifle As a passionate hunter, I always look for firearms that provide reliability and precision in the field. I've had the opportunity to use the Orsis 120 .308 Win rifle for a while now, and I want to share my thoughts on it both the pros and the cons based on my experiences. Pros: Accuracy: Right off the bat, the Orsis 120 impressed me with its accuracy. The .308 caliber combined with the rifle's design allows for tight groupings at distances up to 300 yards. Whether I was at the range or out in the field, I felt confident in taking shots. Build Quality: The craftsmanship of the Orsis 120 is noteworthy. The materials used feel robust, and the rifle has a solid, well-balanced feel in hand. The stock's ergonomic design makes it comfortable to shoulder, which is especially important during long hours in the field. Customizability: This rifle offers a variety of mounting options.

Having heard a mix of reviews regarding this scope, I approached it with cautious optimism. Here are my thoughts after using it in the field. Build Quality and Design: The first thing that struck me about the Japan Optics Superb 1-4x24 was its robust construction. The scope feels solid in hand, and the matte black finish not only looks sleek but also helps reduce glare, which is essential when hunting. It easily fits onto my rifle, and the mounting process was straightforward. The eyepiece provides a comfortable and clear sight picture, and the low-light performance is impressive for dawn and dusk hunting. Optical Clarity: One of the standout features of this scope is its optics. The clarity of the lenses is phenomenal, with bright, vivid images. At 1x magnification, it offers a wide field of view, making it e

Bull Riding Rat Taxidermy Creating a Bull Riding Rat taxidermy piece involves a blend of creativity and traditional taxidermy techniques. Here's a simplified process: Preparation: First, a rat specimen is carefully skinned, and the hide is preserved through tanning to prevent decay and maintain its shape. Form Creation: A custom form or mannequin is created to fit the rat's size and pose. For this unique piece, the form would be adjusted to make the rat appear as if it's riding a small model bull. Mounting the Hide: The preserved rat hide is carefully fitted over the form. The taxidermist stitches it in place, ensuring a natural look and proper alignment of the fur. Detailing: The rat's eyes, ears, and facial features are carefully crafted and positioned for a lifelike appearance. The pose is fine-tuned to make it look like the rat is actively riding the bull. Bull Model: A miniature bull model is prepared, either crafted from scratch or purchased. The model is detailed to match a

How We Tested the Best Spotting Scopes We invite manufacturers to submit any new spotting scopes introduced from mid-2022 through 2023. Because this particular category of sports optics is expensive to manufacture, and because the market isn’t nearly as dynamic as rifle scopes or binoculars—after all, once you’ve purchased a spotting scope, you’re unlikely to be in the market for another—we test spotters only every two or three years. Low-Light Performance We also measure the low-light performance of each submission by mounting them to tripods and focusing them at 200 yards at a black-and-white resolution target at twilight, all in order to measure the brightness of the glass. The scope that can “see” the longest into the gathering darkness gets top marks. The scope that loses its night-vision earliest gets the lowest score. Scopes in the middle receive scores somewhere between those two poles. How We Score and Grade Optics We break our 10-point scoring into four general categories

Noted Mumbai-based bird rescuer moves high court to quash hunting charges against him Pradeep D’souza, a well-known bird rescuer of Mumbai, recently approached the Bombay High Court seeking to quash an FIR lodged against him by the Maharashtra Forest Department for allegedly hunting and purchasing wild animals. The FIR was filed for alleged violation of the Wildlife (Protection) Act (WPA) in 2021. D’Souza, 47, claimed to be the most sought-after bird rescuer in Mumbai who rescues and rehabilitates trapped, sick and injured birds. He said that even forest department officials seek his help for rehabilitation of birds as the government had inadequate infrastructure for the same. D’Souza, in a petition filed through advocate Amrita Nair, submitted that on March 14, 2020, he had written a letter to the Office of Conservator of Forest, Thane Forest Division and had given a list of the birds rescued by him according to the guidelines provided in the WPA.

A Night in Hippo Heaven

A Night in Hippo Heaven By Donald J Stoner It is said that hippos kill more people in Africa than any other animal (if you exclude mosquitos). But does that qualify them to be classified as dangerous game. I have certainly had my doubts until, that is, an experience I had one night in a farmer’s field. There is no question that an animal that weighs two tons, can run up to 20 mph and has huge teeth, has the potential of being dangerous. The danger is highest if you happen to catch a hippo on the land. Water is their preferred environment and they seem less threatened there. I don’t think any predator will attack a full-grown hippo in the water, although a big croc will certainly snatch a small hippo given half a chance. On the other hand, lion, especially a large pride, will attack a hippo if they catch it on land. This may have something to do with hippo temperament when they are away from water. Threaten a hippo on land, and it will head straight for the nearest water an

Why We Hunt - An Ancient Activity Hunting is an ancient human activity. As such it means experiencing an original way of life in unspoiled nature. Hunting can be the purest form of eco-tourism. And yes, of course we enjoy hunting. Of course we enjoy the thrill of a stalk. Yes, of course we enjoy the adrenalin rush when facing a wild un-collared lion. There is nothing wrong with that, these are inherent components of our own nature. City people seem to have forgotten that man can and should be part of nature. And above all, the laws of hunter and hunted are the very foundation on which nature rests. If we still want nature – and that is the principle decision mankind has to take – we have to understand and accept it as it is; and true, honest hunting is the very school of life.... But we don’t enjoy killing. We have to kill to have hunted. And when at times we have to kill, we try to do so clean and quick and painless. At the same time death is part of life – it is not always easy

The Cape Buffalo is considered by some to be the most dangerous of all of the Big Five. While he seems docile enough when viewed undisturbed in the herd, when agitated or wounded this bovine can be extremely aggressive, vindictive, and cunning. Found all over southern Africa in herds of various sizes, the buffalo can weigh up to 1800 pounds. He is primarily a grazer but an occasional browser who must drink every day. They favor the thick bushveld during the day, leisurely moving and grazing as they go. At night they tend to herd up to protect the young from their archenemy, the lion. Both sexes carry horns, however, the horns of a bull can be quite spectacular in spread, with a deep curl and a solid boss covering the forehead. Cows lack the boss, but can have a very wide spread; in fact, the world record buffalo on file in the Roland Ward record book is a cow with a spread of some 62 inches. With a well-placed shot, a rifle of .375 caliber is adequate for the Cape buffalo. However, a

Buck Holes Search for what I call buck holes, which are tangles of honeysuckle or wild rose on ridges, cedar or pine thickets, brushy beaver swamps … you get the idea. A buck hole doesn’t have to be large or even remote — just a thick spot other hunters overlook. A grassy ditch near a back road, an overgrown hog lot behind an old barn or a similar neglected spot can hide a big buck. Scour an aerial map for such pockets or strips of cover. Check the edges of a thicket or swamp for trails pocked with big tracks. Look for rubs and late scrapes, which are signs that a buck has moved back in there to evade hunters and breed a last willing doe. When you find a mother lode of fresh sign, stop right there. You don’t want to bust into a small security area, put more heat on already wired deer and bust them out of there. It’s better to back off 100 yards or so and set up on a ridge or point where you can cover buck entry and exit routes into and out of cover.

Hunting in the Middle Ages In the modern US, hunting is not considered an elite activity. One tends to think of country folk and good old boys going hunting, often because they could use the food. The last time hunting was considered something for the wealthy and powerful was back when it was considered appropriate to go to Africa or Alaska to shoot elephants or lions or polar bears in Africa or Alaska. In the Middle Ages, in contrast, hunting was very much an activity for elites. Nobles loved to hunt, to the the point that giving up hunting was a sign of serious penance. Several saints started life as rich lords but were converted to the religious life when, on a hunting trip, they saw an animal carrying a cross. Fantastic stories often involved hunting, such as capturing a white (albino) hart or trapping a unicorn, as seen in this late medieval tapestry. Probably the main source of meat on a noble table was from hunting, rather then livestock raising. Nobles hunted various k
