Mario Kalpou — hunting, wildlife, and cooking on Man Eats Wild Mario Kalpou is not just a professional hunter. He is a brand, combining a passion for hunting, fishing, cooking, and wildlife.

Mossberg Patriot .308 Win Rifle Review When I decided to purchase the Mossberg Patriot chambered in .308 Win, I was drawn to the combination of performance, affordability, and the reputation that Mossberg has built over the years. Having had the chance to use this rifle in various conditions, here’s my honest and detailed review, including both the positives and negatives. Pros: Affordability: One of the main reasons I chose the Mossberg Patriot was its price point. It offers excellent value for money, especially for a rifle that performs reliably in the field. Accuracy: I was pleasantly surprised by the accuracy of the .308 Win cartridge in this rifle. With the right ammunition, I was able to achieve tight groupings even at longer distances. This makes it an excellent choice for both hunting and target shooting. Lightweight Design: The Patriot features a relatively lightweight design compared to some other rifles in the same class. This makes it easier to carry during long treks

Trophy Universal: Urial Ovis aries (lat.) is a species of mammal from the genus 🐏 rams, subfamily Capidae, family Bovidae. ℹ️ An interesting combination of genetic traits could classify urials as both OVIS and Caprinae. However, if we look at the species of trophy animals that make up the rating tables of various hunting clubs, such as KGO, SCI, GSCO, it follows that a urial trophy can only close a position in the OVIS category - rams. ❗️Urials are in the "vulnerable species" category, so many countries have begun to strengthen the populations of these animals, which are becoming rare. Hunting tourism has become one of the supports for countries in which the urial is an official hunting species. A limited number of licenses are issued for shooting, and good deductions from officially conducted hunts are returned to the economy of the regions where they live and sponsor environmental activities. We can safely say that all hunters who go hunting for urial in Iran, Pakistan, Uzbekist

Boat Accessories for the Salt Water Boat-show season was a huge success this year for both the boating industry and its consumers looking for some new boat accessories, like me. It goes without saying that the prior-year pandemic regulations created hardship for places of gathering, whether it was church, classrooms, theaters, restaurants, and yes, trade shows. With these imposed restrictions, outdoor enthusiasts took it in the teeth when it came to Sportsman and Boat Shows. But 2022 showed signs of improvement, breathing air into the oxygen-starved industry. Throughout the Pacific Northwest, what last year was a virtual echo chamber this year was an elbow-to-elbow, bustling free-for-all. Eager outdoor enthusiasts were hungry, and these trade shows helped many turn their dreams to realities, while others better prepared for yet another season of reveries. If you’re the person that makes that annual journey to your favorite sporting or boat show, you will quickly put together the list

Heavy bodied and long-legged, with a drooping nose, moose (Alces alces) are the largest members of the deer family. They range in color from golden brown to almost black, depending upon the season and the age of the animal. Full-grown males (bulls) stand almost 6 ft (1.8 m) tall at the shoulder, and males in prime condition weigh from 1,200 to 1,600 lbs (542 –725 kg). Adult females are somewhat smaller and weigh 800 to 1,300 lbs (364 – 591 kg). A 1,600-lb (726-kg) moose will dress out at about 950 lbs (431 kg), yielding approximately 500 lbs (227 kg) of meat. Alaskans and nonresidents annually harvest 6,000 to 8,000 moose, which translates into about 3.5 million pounds of usable meat. Only bull moose have antlers. The largest moose antlers in North America come from Alaska, the Yukon Territory, and the Northwest Territories of Canada. Trophy class bulls are found throughout Alaska, but the largest come from the western portion of the state. Moose occasionally produce trophy-size antle

The 5 Best Thermal Monoculars of 2024 Everybody wants to know what goes bump in the night, even if it doesn’t bump and even if it’s not nighttime. Happily, thermal monoculars, a new and energetic category of gear, often identify what used to be invisible. They can help you see everything from human intruders on the other side of a fence, to coyotes and raccoons crouching in the dark, to a problematic wire in a household electrical outlet. We’re talking about monoculars, rangefinders, and cameras that use temperature variations, rather than visible light, to form images that can be captured as photographs or videos, or simply delivered to your eye to answer that ancient question: what’s out there? I’ve used this new class of “optics” over the past year to find newborn calves in a deadly blizzard, to find my ice-fishing buddies in the fog, to detect hidden electrical problems that might burn my house down, to hunt coyotes at midnight, and to finally even the odds on crop-raiding feral

HUNTER HARVESTS POTENTIAL NEW RECORD ELK Duane Kramer is a lucky guy. Not only did he win the 2020 Keystone Elk Country Alliance Raffle, which meant he got a chance to hunt a Pennsylvania monster bull, but he actually harvested a potential new state record. Kramer, who lives in Bellingham, Washington, hired Elk County Outfitters to help him locate a big bull during this memorable hunt last October. And, boy, did he make a good decision. While he was out in the field, he said he had plenty of opportunities at bulls over the 420” range. “There were enough 400-class bulls running around there that it wasn’t a question of getting a 400-inch bull, but a matter of how far over 400 we could get,” Kramer told Boone & Crockett. While he was only 18 yards away from the bull he would eventually harvest, he wasn’t close enough for an ethical shot because of the harem of cows milling around him. “I thought he was going to come right for us because we were standing right in the game trail,” sai

Crocodile hunting. Egypt, 1870s. Photographer: Henri Bechard Henri Bashar opened a studio in Cairo and sold tourists photographs with views of ancient Egyptian structures. From the 1st millennium BC to the 4th century AD (Roman period), the ancient Egyptians mummified millions of animals, most of the mummies were classified by Egyptologists as ‘votive sacrifices’ to gods and goddesses. Before the construction of the Aswan Dam, Nile crocodiles were found throughout the Nile. Moreover, in ancient times crocodiles were found in Israel, Lebanon and Syria. The ancient Egyptians hunted crocodiles for their mummies, scientists have come to this conclusion. The crocodile, from which the ancient Egyptians made one of the mummies, was not grown in special conditions at the temple. Scientists from France and the United States came to this conclusion after studying the remains using an elementary particle accelerator, the Journal of Archaeological Sciences writes.

Two hunters. Photo of 1911 Petersburg. Russian poet and writer Alexander Ivanovich Kuprin and Fyodor Ivanovich Chaliapin, a brilliant Russian opera singer. Kuprin's literary legacy, dedicated to the theme of hunting, is a precious part of the Russian hunting classics. Hunting was one of Alexander Kupruns hobbies. Kuprin hunted a lot and often, but he was not a professional hunter at all. When experienced hunters, attracted in particular by his novel “Hunting Grouse”, met him on a hunt they were somewhat disappointed, calling him a simple amateur. Kuprin was not interested in hunting itself, but in the sensations during hunting, the flight of birds, the running of animals, and the experiences of hunters. As a real writer, he went country side not for hunt itself but for an inspiration. Fyodor Ivanovich Chaliapin was also not a professional hunter, but he was an incredibly enthusiastic hunter.

Boar hunting is quite exciting. Since ancient times, there has been great interest in it. In this article we will talk about one of the types of hunting for a wild boar. The main type is considered to be classical hunting. Conducted from the living room. There are two variants of this type of hunting - in the fields for food and on boar crossings. The first option means that you need to find boar feeding points within a set period of time, which does not mean that they are in demand throughout the territory. The wild boar is often omnivorous, for example, it can eat both potatoes and oat fields. In autumn, after the harvest, wild boars can feed in abandoned apple orchards. The best option is hunting in oat fields. To do this, they look for wet lowlands with dense shrubs, as well as swamps. In some cases, if the oat field is in these areas, then the appearance of the wild boar is most likely there. The field is explored in the morning, because by the evening the smell remains there, an

10 Classic Hunting Rifles Every Hunter Should Own (Part 1) These classic hunting rifles bring a good dose of nostalgia, and plenty of real-world performance 1. Springfield Armory Model 1903 Sporter Many, if not most, of our modern bolt-action hunting rifles have their roots in military rifles of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. After the World Wars, an abundance of surplus rifles was quickly taken advantage of by hunters. The 1903 Springfield was commonly “sporterized” by pulling the action and putting it in a shorter, more-handy “sporter” stock. Of course, they were often re-barreled, re-chambered, and highly-modified for specific hunting purposes—all based around the robust 1903 action. It was common for gunsmiths to “sporterize” surplus rifles for customers, turning them into heirloom hunting rifles. If I was to buy one, I’d take the original .30/06 chambering, although they were often re-barreled in other calibers like .270 Win. The 1903’s action was built for battle, a

Review of the J.&W. Tolley 12 Gauge Side-by-Side Hammergun (75 cm Barrels) As an avid hunter with years of experience, I recently had the opportunity to take my vintage J.&W. Tolley 12-gauge side-by-side hammergun on a hunting trip for wild boar and geese. This gun, which is over 100 years old, is a true piece of history, and using it in the field was both a privilege and a challenge. Here’s my detailed review, including the pros and cons of this classic firearm. Pros: Craftsmanship and Aesthetics: The J.&W. Tolley hammergun is a masterpiece of English gunmaking. The walnut stock is beautifully figured, and the engraving on the action and hammers is exquisite. Carrying this gun feels like holding a piece of art. The 75 cm barrels are perfectly balanced, giving the gun a classic, elegant look. Reliability: Despite its age, this gun performed admirably in the field. The side-by-side configuration and external hammers (true "курковка") are simple and reliable. I used modern 12

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
