Three-eyed predator stalked the seas 500 million years ago Stanleycaris hirpex, which lived in the Cambrian period, had two protruding eyes on the side of its head and a larger eye in the centre A three-eyed animal with wing-like fins once swam through shallow seas, using heightened visual perception to hunt smaller sea animals. Stanleycaris hirpex lived in the Cambrian Period about 500 million years ago, not long after the first eyes appeared in the fossil record. It is the first animal with three eyes known among the arthropods, the group containing insects, arachnids and crustaceans, but the researchers who described it think there may be others in which a third eye has been overlooked. S. hirpex was roughly the size of a human hand and had two protruding eyes with hundreds of lenses on each side of its head, plus a third, much larger eye in the middle. Living among finger-sized animals, it probably used its advanced visual system to chase down fast-moving prey, says Joseph Moys

WHAT IS HARE HUNTING? Hare hunting involves the pursuing of hares by a pack of harriers, beagles, or bassets with followers either on foot or on horseback. The Association of Masters of Harriers and Beagles lists 71 current hare hunts that are still operating. Similar to the fox hunting season, hare hunting takes place between late August until March. However, whilst fox hunting takes place all over the country, hare hunting tends to be limited to certain areas and this is because hares stay within their territory. Hares spend the entirety of their lives above ground and so during the chase they do not seek safety underground like foxes do. This means they tend to stick to the area that they know and run in loops whilst being pursued by the hounds. Hare hunts can often last up to an hour with hares desperately doing everything they can to escape. Ultimately the hare being hunted will give up from exhaustion and be caught by the faster hounds before it is ripped to pieces.

Small Game Alaska As we pushed our way through the waist deep snow the big snowshoe hare just sat there and waited. His “white” camouflage blended perfectly with the snow, but not quite good enough to keep me, and my 8-year old son, Eli from pushing forward. With each step I figured he would bolt, but he didn’t so we decided to keep moving towards him. I slowly raised the BowTech bow and settled the pin. In most states hunting small game usually takes a back seat to hunting big game, especially here in Alaska. With moose, caribou and sheep practically around every corner most people forget that the state also harbors some of the finest small game pursuits in the country. As hunters we all live for the fall and rightly so. Bears, sheep and goats are constantly on our minds and we absolutely cannot wait until the season opens. Like most people who chase animals either with a bow, rifle or shotgun it becomes a totally obsession that drives us not only throughout the year, but als

Deep Water Haunts Bass fishing this time of year often corresponds with deep water. In much of the country, bass move offshore and school up to chase open-water baitfish. Offshore structure and cover like river ledges, deep weed beds, rock piles, wing-dams, and deep boat docks can all be dissected with a drop-shot. It particularly excels as a clean-up hitter. Once you catch a few fish from an offshore hot-spot using traditional cranking and worm techniques, pitch a drop-shot in and see what bites. It will often surprise you. The key to this style of fishing is to get the boat near, or over your target. From there, let the bait down until it makes contact with the bottom, and begin a series of light shakes of the worm. You want the bait to move, but not the sinker. This sounds touchy, but it’s easy to get the hang of it. Most experienced drop-shot fishermen call this “shaking slack.” After a little practice, you’ll get the feel of allowing your bait to flutter and sink on a slack line,

Tips for Hunting Fox Squirrels Tactics for hunting our largest tree squirrel aren’t the same as for more common gray squirrels “Let’s go chase after a fox squirrel.” Those were the last words I remember my friend Hunter saying to me before we wandered down the logging road that cut through the top of Brush Mountain. I was cramming my brain with communication law court cases for an exam. He knew exactly how to escape the books. In a sudden dart down the mountainside, Hunter vanished into the fall foliage. I scuffled through the leaves behind him the best I could in rubber boots to find him encouraging me to hurry. He handed me the .22 Magnum. “It’s a fox squirrel,” Hunter whispered. The squirrel was frozen high up in an oak tree. I aimed the gun to the sky. It took me too long to steady my shooting position, and I was certain the squirrel was going to move. But he remained still as a statue, and at the shot, the squirrel fell through the autumn air. Its fur was auburn and delicate, and

Located just north of Montreal, this region is renowned for its stunning landscapes, from rolling hills and dense forests to pristine lakes and rivers. Whether you’re a seasoned hunter or a beginner, the Laurentides provides an unforgettable hunting experience steeped in tradition and natural beauty. Geographical and Natural Features of the Region The Laurentides region is characterized by its vast boreal forests, mixed woodlands, and numerous lakes and rivers. The Laurentian Mountains dominate the landscape, providing a challenging yet rewarding terrain for hunters. The region’s diverse ecosystems support a wide range of wildlife, making it one of Quebec’s most sought-after hunting destinations. Protected areas such as Mont-Tremblant National Park and numerous wildlife reserves ensure sustainable hunting practices while preserving the region’s natural beauty.

Hunting Characteristics Hunting in the Laurentides is known for its diversity and accessibility. The region offers a mix of guided and unguided hunts, with options for both solo and group expeditions. The terrain can range from relatively flat areas to steep, rugged mountains, requiring hunters to be physically prepared.

Moose hunting, in particular, is a major draw, with the species thriving in the region’s dense forests and wetlands.

Hunting Seasons in the Region The exact dates vary depending on the species and the hunting zone, but generally follow this timeline: Moose: September to October (varies by zone) White-tailed Deer: November (archery and firearm seasons) Black Bear: Spring (May-June) and Fall (September-October) Small Game: September to March (varies by species) Waterfowl: September to December (varies by species) Associations and Clubs of Hunters in the Region The Laurentides is home to several hunting associations and clubs that promote responsible hunting practices and conservation. These organizations often organize events, workshops, and guided hunts, making them a valuable resource for both locals and visitors. Fédération québécoise des chasseurs et pêcheurs (FédéCP): The provincial federation supports hunters and anglers across Quebec, including the Laurentides. Local Hunting and Fishing Clubs: Many communities in the Laurentides have their own clubs, which often collaborate with conservation authorities to manage wildlife populations.

Snowy Mountains Hunting: Unique Aspects of Chasing Game in Alpine Regions, Demographics, Associations and Clubs, Laws and Hunting Seasons The Snowy Mountains, part of the Great Dividing Range in southeastern Australia, offer a pristine wilderness experience for hunters. Spanning New South Wales (NSW) and Victoria, this alpine region combines rugged peaks, dense eucalyptus forests, and crystal-clear rivers, creating a diverse habitat for game species. Below, we delve into the essentials of hunting in this iconic landscape, exploring its unique features, challenges, and opportunities for enthusiasts. 1. Geographic and Ecological Hunting Advantages in Snowy Mountains The Snowy Mountains’ elevation (up to 2,228 meters at Mount Kosciuszko) creates unique ecosystems that are both challenging and rewarding for hunters. High-altitude grasslands and snow gums provide cover for game, while river valleys like the Snowy River attract waterfowl. The region’s seasonal shifts—from summer’s lush growth to winter’s snow—challenge hunters but reward those prepared for variable conditions. The alpine environment supports a wide range of flora and fauna, making it a hotspot for biodiversity. This diversity translates into a rich hunting experience, with opportunities to pursue both native and introduced species. 2. Hunter Demographics: Who Hunts Here? Approximately 190,000 licensed hunters in NSW and 100,000 in Victoria frequent the Snowy Mountains. Urban hunters from Sydney and Melbourne dominate, drawn by weekend trips to escape the city and immerse themselves in nature. The hunting community is diverse, ranging from traditionalists pursuing heritage hunts to newcomers focused on sustainable game management. Many hunters are also conservation-minded, participating in programs to control invasive species and protect native wildlife. 3. Unique Hunting Characteristics High-country hunting in the Snowy Mountains demands physical endurance due to the steep terrain and unpredictable weather. Hunters often use 4WD vehicles for access but rely on foot travel or horseback riding in remote areas. Stealth is critical in dense bush, and glassing ridges at dawn is a common tactic for spotting game. The region’s rugged beauty adds to the allure, but it also requires careful preparation. Hunters must be equipped with appropriate gear, including warm clothing, reliable footwear, and navigation tools, to handle the challenging conditions. 4. Game Species and Hunting Styles The Snowy Mountains are home to a variety of game species, each requiring different hunting techniques: Big Game: Eastern grey kangaroos, sambar deer, and feral pigs dominate the landscape. Sambar deer, in particular, are highly sought after for their impressive antlers and elusive nature. Small Game: Rabbits, hares, and quail provide opportunities for hunters looking for a less demanding experience. Trophy Hunting: Sambar deer, renowned for their antlers, attract international hunters seeking a challenging and rewarding pursuit. Pest Control: Feral pigs and goats are targeted year-round to mitigate environmental damage, as these invasive species threaten native ecosystems. 5. Hunting Seasons Hunting seasons in the Snowy Mountains vary by state and species: New South Wales: Kangaroos: March–October (with regional quotas). Deer: Year-round for sambar; restricted for fallow deer (April–June). Victoria: Sambar deer: No closed season. Ducks: Late autumn (season dates set annually). Hunters must stay informed about seasonal changes and regulations to ensure compliance and sustainability. 6. Hunting Clubs and Organizations Several organizations support hunters in the Snowy Mountains, offering resources, training, and advocacy: Sporting Shooters’ Association Australia (SSAA): Provides guides, safety training, and advocacy for hunters. Alpine Hunting Club (NSW): Organizes guided trips and conservation projects to promote responsible hunting practices. Victorian Deer Hunters Association: Offers sambar-specific resources and fosters a community of like-minded enthusiasts. These organizations play a crucial role in promoting ethical hunting and conservation efforts in the region. 7. Legal Requirements Hunting in the Snowy Mountains is regulated to ensure sustainability and safety: Licenses: Mandatory in both states (e.g., New South Wales’ $89 annual game license). Restrictions: No hunting in national parks; firearms must comply with state regulations (e.g., bolt-action rifles for deer). Bag Limits: Strict quotas for kangaroos to protect populations and maintain ecological balance. Hunters must familiarize themselves with local laws and obtain the necessary permits before embarking on their adventure. 8. Cultural and Historical Traditions Indigenous Australians historically hunted the region’s fauna for sustenance, using traditional methods and deep ecological knowledge. Today, modern hunters blend respect for this heritage with practices like "fair chase" ethics. Annual events, such as the Snowy Mountains Trout Festival, celebrate hunting and angling traditions, bringing together enthusiasts to share stories and experiences. 9. Fascinating Facts The Snowy Mountains Scheme (1949–1974) created reservoirs that now support waterfowl populations, enhancing the region’s appeal for hunters. Sambar deer, introduced in the 1860s, are among Australia’s largest free-ranging deer and have become a prized target for hunters. Horseback hunting is permitted in Kosciuszko National Park’s wilderness zones, echoing 19th-century explorer practices and adding a touch of nostalgia to the experience. #SnowyMountains #HuntingAdventures #AlpineHunting #SambarDeer #FeralPigs #KangarooHunt #TrophyHunting #HuntingSeasons #LeaveNoTrace #FairChase #HuntingClubs #SportingShooters #AlpineEnvironment #InvasiveSpecies #HorsebackHunting #WildernessExperience

Hunting is an exciting outdoor activity that requires skill, patience, and knowledge. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced hunter, these essential hunting tips can improve your success rate in the field. In this guide, we’ll cover everything from choosing the right hunting gear to mastering wildlife tracking, ensuring you are prepared for any situation. 1. Choosing the Right Hunting Equipment Your hunting equipment can make or break your experience. Invest in high-quality rifles, bows, or other weapons that suit your hunting style. Don’t forget durable camouflage clothing to blend into the environment. Adding a reliable hunting knife for field dressing game is also essential. 2. Understanding Wildlife Behavior One of the best hunting skills is the ability to read wildlife behavior. Whether you’re hunting deer, elk, or wild turkey, knowing their habits, feeding times, and patterns will increase your chances of success. Always scout your area before the season starts and look for tracks, trails, and signs of game. 3. Mastering Hunting Techniques There are many hunting methods, from spot-and-stalk to still hunting. It’s important to know which technique works best for the type of game you’re pursuing. For instance, tree stands are excellent for whitetail deer hunting, while spot-and-stalk is more effective in open terrain like in western hunting. 4. Proper Hunting Safety Safety is a key component of any successful hunt. Always practice hunter safety by handling firearms properly, wearing bright orange when required, and knowing the area’s regulations. Be aware of your surroundings, and never shoot without clearly identifying your target. 5. Use of Hunting Calls Learning to use hunting calls, whether for deer calling, duck calling, or other game, can give you an edge. Calls mimic the sounds of wildlife, drawing animals closer to your position, making it easier to take a shot. 6. Importance of Hunting Ethics Respect for the environment and wildlife is crucial. Follow hunting regulations and always practice fair chase. Cleanly harvest your game, and minimize waste to preserve the hunting tradition for future generations. 7. Preparing for the Weather Hunters must always be prepared for the elements. Dress in layers and always carry weather-appropriate gear like waterproof boots, insulated jackets, and rainproof clothing. Extreme weather conditions can change quickly, so being prepared will keep you safe and comfortable. Whether you're heading out for big game hunting or going after small game, these tips will help you improve your skills and ensure a successful hunt.
