Geschichte der Glattrohrwaffen Den meisten Historikern zufolge wurde Schießpulver im 11. Jahrhundert in China erfunden. Mit der Zeit gelangte das Wissen über seine Herstellung auch nach Europa. Die allerersten Handfeuerwaffen erschienen im 14. Jahrhundert und verfügten über eine Luntenschlosszündung und Vorderladerkonstruktion. Im 15. Jahrhundert waren Arkebusen zu einer gängigen Waffe in den europäischen Armeen geworden. Im 16. Jahrhundert erschienen in Spanien die ersten Steinschlossgewehre. Dieser neue Mechanismus machte das Schießen einfacher und den Zündzeitpunkt vorhersehbarer als das frühere Luntenschlosssystem. Etwa zur gleichen Zeit tauchten die ersten Erwähnungen von Patronen für Vorderladerflinten auf. Diese Patronen bestanden aus einem mit Schießpulver und einer Kugel gefüllten Papierzylinder. Vor dem Abfeuern riss der Schütze die Patrone auf, schüttete etwas Schießpulver auf die Sicherungsplatte und gab den Rest in den Lauf. Die Kugel wurde in Papier eingewickelt und mit

Englische Hunderassen (Rassen Großbritanniens) sind mehr als 60 Rassen, die auf dem Territorium dieses Staates gezüchtet werden. Zu den englischen Hunden zählen viele Arten von Terriern, Spaniels, Molossern, Schäferhunden, Jagdhunden, Windhunden und Zeigern. Heute haben sich die meisten in England gezüchteten Rassen auf der ganzen Welt verbreitet und erfreuen sich in verschiedenen Ländern großer Beliebtheit. Geschichte der Hundezucht in England Viele Forscher neigen dazu, England als das erste Land zu betrachten, in dem eine gezielte Auswahl von Hunderassen durchgeführt wurde und an der verschiedene Bevölkerungsgruppen beteiligt waren. Schon im Mittelalter war die Landwirtschaft in England gut entwickelt und die Jagd war eine beliebte Freizeitbeschäftigung der Aristokratie. Daher zielte die Selektion hauptsächlich auf die Zucht von Hütehunden (Bobtail, Collie, Welsh Corgi) und Jagdhunden ab. Es stellte sich heraus, dass Wachhunde in England weniger gefragt waren.

Driven Hunts in South Africa: A Hunter's Guide South Africa's diverse landscapes and abundant wildlife make it a prime destination for hunters worldwide. While spot-and-stalk methods are popular, driven hunts offer a different kind of adrenaline rush, testing your reflexes and shooting skills. What is a Driven Hunt? In a driven hunt, beaters (often local trackers) move through a designated area, pushing animals toward a line of strategically positioned hunters. This creates fast-paced shooting opportunities as animals break cover. Common Quarry Impala: A staple of South African hunting, known for its agility and alertness. Wildebeest: Both blue and black wildebeest are common targets, offering a challenging shot due to their size and speed. Blesbok: A medium-sized antelope with a distinctive white blaze on its face. Kudu: While often hunted via spot-and-stalk, kudu can also be taken in driven hunts, requiring quick target acquisition. Bush Pig: A challenging quarry because of

Maine and Massachusetts could soon see bans lifted on Sunday hunting In the US, there are 40 states that have no prohibitions on hunting on Sundays Some states are steadily chipping away at longstanding bans on Sunday hunting, and there's a push to overturn the laws in Maine and Massachusetts, the final two states with full bans. Maine’s highest court is considering a lawsuit asking whether the state's 19th century law, which prevents hunting big game animals such as deer, moose and turkeys on Sundays, is still necessary. In Massachusetts, where hunters are also lobbying for Sunday hunting rights, there is a renewed effort to change state laws forbidding the practice. Forty states have no prohibitions on hunting on Sundays. The bans stem from so-called "blue laws" that also regulate which businesses can remain open and where alcohol can be sold on Sundays. Animal welfare groups, conservation organizations and others are rallying to defend the prohibitions, but the end of the laws

Australia is being ravaged by the worst wildfires seen in decades, with large swaths of the country devastated since the fire season began in late July. At least 28 people have died nationwide, and in the state of New South Wales (NSW) alone, more than 3,000 homes have been destroyed or damaged. State and federal authorities are struggling to contain the massive blazes, even with firefighting assistance from other countries, including the United States. All this has been exacerbated by persistent heat and drought, and many point to climate change as a factor making natural disasters go from bad to worse. Where are the fires? There have been fires in every Australian state, but New South Wales has been hardest hit. Blazes have torn through bushland, wooded areas, and national parks like the Blue Mountains. Some of Australia's largest cities have also been affected, including Melbourne and Sydney -- where fires have damaged homes in the outer suburbs and thick plumes of smoke have bl

The top is mountain hunting. This is a closed hunting club, which is not easy to get into, even if you have money and position in society. First-class physical training is mandatory here: tracking mountain sheep occurs at an altitude above 3 thousand meters. m in difficult weather conditions and not for one or two days, but for weeks. Shooting in the mountains requires special training from the hunter. Not every professional sniper in the conditions of the plain is guaranteed to hit the target from a distance of 400-600 m. And a mountain trophy hunter after a week-long trek at an altitude of 3 thousand. m and above has a chance of only one accurate shot, which is measured in hundreds of meters. The geography of this kind of hunting, without exaggeration, covers the whole world. Each mountain has only its own kind of sheep. In the mountains of Alaska, these are sheep Shares, in the mountains of Iran — a blue ram, in the Pamirs — the most valuable from a trophy point of view, the Mar

The nilgai antelope “Blue Bull” • Native to India and Pakistan. The second largest antelope species in the world! • I took the Marlin Model 1895 Guide Gun to the Rio Grande Valley of Texas to hunt the very special and and majestic ecosystem along the coastline known as the El Sauz, managed by the East Foundation. This nearly 30,000 acre free range property managed for their cattle operation is teaming with wildlife, and its range though excellent for the cattle also provides perfect habitat for the Nilgai. • As part of the properties management plan for its cattle, Wildlife Systems manages the nilgai which happen to be direct competition for the cattle, and due to their size they equally require the same range and food source that the cattle require • Using the lever gun in 45-70 topped with a Trijicon Credo 1-6x24 scope and using Hornady Leverevolution Ammo in 325gr FTX was perfect for this hunt.

Early Season Hunting Conditions Depending on where you hunt and exactly when you’re in the field, early-season hunting can be brutal. For example, sitting in a ground blind near an antelope watering hole or putting the stalk on a Western muley can cause you to sweat like you were trying to earn a spot in the NFL combine. You’d think that sitting perched in a tree would offer some relief due to the wind, but that’s not always true either. Hot and humid conditions without any breeze can be just as tough 15 feet up. Traditional cotton shirts or blue jeans don’t work well in these situations because they don’t breathe well or wick your sweat away. As a result, your clothes just stay wet and eventually start to stink. Not ideal for hunting, especially if you’re on a multi-day trip out west. At the same time, some southern or western hunts may take you through some challenging terrain, where briars, thorns, and other vegetation tears at your hunting clothes. That means your lightweight hunt

Turkey hunting can be a dangerous sport. If you turkey hunt, this article could save your life or prevent you from taking a life. I don’t know directly or indirectly a person who has been shot deer hunting but I know indirectly through a friend that a hunting partner of his was killed and directly a friend of mine was shot but survived while turkey hunting. Here are some tips to prevent you from being shot or accidentally shooting someone else. • No. 1 rule, always completely and positively identify your target before you pull the trigger. All turkey hunters know to make the best kill shot, you must aim for the head of a gobbler. Shooting the body of a gobbler may only wound it. Never shoot at movement. • Since the colors of a gobbler’s head are red, white and blue, never wear those colors in the woods. Wear full camo so a hand or face isn’t mistaken for a gobbler’s head. • When setting up for a turkey to call, always try and set against a big tree that will protect your back and

Gun hunting. Moose, hunted on September 17, 1900 by Major General A.A. Brusilov. Major General Aleksei Alekseevich Brusilov was a distinguished Russian military leader whose career spanned the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in 1853, Brusilov rose through the ranks of the Imperial Russian Army, distinguishing himself as a tactical innovator and a compassionate commander. His most notable achievement came during World War I with the Brusilov Offensive in 1916, a meticulously planned campaign that achieved significant territorial gains against the Central Powers. Brusilov's approach to warfare emphasized mobility and surprise, breaking from the traditional trench warfare tactics that had led to stalemates on many fronts. His offensive demonstrated the effectiveness of coordinated artillery barrages and rapid infantry advances, inflicting heavy losses on Austro-Hungarian forces and providing a much-needed morale boost for the Russian army. Beyond his battlefield successes, Bru

Spanish style Sometimes trophy hunters want to unwind on a hunt - without overcoming, overexertion and overload. We recommend you the most exciting hunt for 🐔partridge in Spain. 👏 Everyone will be able to shoot a lot and qualitatively, have fun with friends, relax - thereby getting an emotional charge for a long time! Traditionally in 🇪🇸 Spain, a hunt is carried out by driving. The beaters flush the partridges at some distance from the hunters and direct them to the line of shooters. Every day, 4-5 drives are organized with a break for lunch. On average, it is possible to get 500-800 birds per day. ℹ️ During the day, the hunters change places in the order determined by the drawing. Thus, everyone has the opportunity to try their hand both in the center of the line and on its edges. The hunter is joined at the position by assistants: a "cargador" who reloads the weapon, and a "secretario" who adjusts the direction of the shot and keeps count of the birds killed. There are still

Ballerina Maya Plisetskaya fishing on the banks of the Moskva River, 1956. Maya Plisetskaya, one of the greatest ballerinas of the 20th century, danced her part in Swan Lake more than 800 times, appearing on stage in this role for 30 years — from 1947 to 1977. In the late 1970s, she headed the Ballet of the Roman Opera and the Spanish ballet company Teatro Lirico Nacional. She has worked with the most prominent choreographers in the world, dancing on all the best ballet stages without exception. For many famous artists, Plisetskaya was a muse. Her grace and beauty inspired Chagall, Petit, Bejar, Cardin. Journalists often pestered her with the question of how she manages to keep her figure for many years. She answered: "No dieting, you need to eat less." Or she'd tell a favorite joke for a change. Future ballerinas and girly girls flock to her, chirping, asking for an autograph. One, bolder, asks the question: "Tell me, how do you manage to stay in this shape?" Plisetskaya teaches:

The 3 Most Expensive Hunts in North America If you’re saving up money for a once-in-a-lifetime dream adventure, why not shoot for the moon? If you had all the money in the world, what would you buy first? Most of us think for a few moments before answering. Some might go for a sports car. Others might tour Europe. How about a beachfront mansion with an elevator, movie theatre, pool, and private chef? But others might spend the money on hunting. Where would you go and what would you hunt for if cost were no obstacle? African elephant? New Zealand red stag? Spanish Ibex? Or, would you stick to North America, where we have more than two dozen big-game hunting opportunities? Some are very affordable and DIY friendly, but others require hunting with a guide and could cost tens of thousands of dollars. Yes, you read that correctly.

4 NEW WAYS TO TAG PUBLIC-LAND TURKEYS RIGHT NOW Try these four surefire guerilla tactics to bag your public-land gobbler this spring. 1. START SCOUTING EARLY February is usually a gloomy month for outdoorsmen. Waterfowl and whitetail seasons have recently closed. It’s too cold to go fishing, and cabin fever seems to be a common illness. However, this time of year offers the best chance at getting a jump-start on killing a spring gobbler. To beat the February blues, I like to grab my .410 for squirrels and rabbits, and lace on a good pair of hiking boots. Boots on the ground is one of the biggest factors in setting the table for spring gobbler success as knowing the lay of the land is critical. The foliage is off the trees this time of the year, which makes a walk through the woods fairly easy. The snakes and ticks usually haven’t made their warm weather debut quite yet, either. And since whitetail deer shed their antlers this time of year, you can keep a lookout for sheds while you

Coyote hunting is one of the most common forms of predator hunting that humans partake in. There are not many regulations with regard to the taking of the coyote which means there are many different methods that can be used to hunt the animal. The most common forms are trapping, calling, and hound hunting. Since coyotes are colorblind, seeing only in shades of gray and subtle blues, open camouflages, and plain patterns can be used. As the average male coyote weighs 8 to 20 kg (18 to 44 lbs) and the average female coyote 7 to 18 kg (15 to 40 lbs), a universal projectile that can perform between those weights is the .223 Remington, so that the projectile expands in the target after entry, but before the exit, thus delivering the most energy. Coyotes being the light and agile animals they are, they often leave a very light impression on terrain. The coyote's footprint is oblong, approximately 6.35 cm (2.5-inches) long and 5.08 cm (2-inches) wide. There are four claws in both their front

The Mid-Gun-Season Blues: When Times Get Tough Morning Hunts I believe your chances are best during this period when you hunt a morning stand back in the timber. When the pressure is on, an old deer feels most comfortable cruising around or pushing a doe on a hardwood ridge or in a cedar draw or creek bottom. By that time, he should have gone completely nocturnal, but deep woods give him a false sense of security. A buck believes he’s hidden in the trees, but he’s not if you’re posted there. Set up early, and look for a good deer ghosting around at dawn. Then keep hanging tough. Each day into midseason, you’ll hear fewer gunshots and see fewer hunters stomping around the woods. Most of the die-hards who, like you, haven’t tagged out will hunt a couple of hours in morning and afternoon. At midday, things will settle down, and some deer will get up and move. You might still nail a good buck between 9 a.m. and noon.
