Fishing in Costa Rica: Dancing the Jig with Costa Rican Monsters The volcanic reefs off the coast of Costa Rica remind me of a haunted house. They are dark with all kinds of nooks, crannies, and pinnacles to hide in, or seek a quick escape. There could be a monster around every corner sitting at an ambush point. Grouper hang close to the bottom. A variety of snapper and big Almaco jacks cruise just above them patrolling the water column. African Pompano and Bluefin trevally are mixed with them. Above all that large schools of jack crevalle and barracuda circle like a wagon train waiting for a school of bonito or other baitfish to arrive. Mark Davis has a knack for fooling these monsters. He needs to. As host of one of the most popular fishing shows on television, Big Water Adventures, he is expected to produce. He rarely lets his audience down. Starting his 15th season, Davis is a survivor in a tough industry. And unlike some who carry an entourage of many people to produce their s

Как выбрать маскировочный костюм для охоты на птиц Маскировочный костюм — важный элемент для успешной охоты на птиц. При выборе костюма учитывайте сезон и местность, где вы охотитесь. Осенью лучше подойдут костюмы с камуфляжем под пожухлую траву, а зимой — белые костюмы для слияния со снегом. Костюм должен быть удобным и не сковывать движения. Дышащий материал и водонепроницаемые слои — также важные аспекты, позволяющие сохранять комфорт и тепло даже при длительном нахождении на природе.

Как выбрать дробовик для охоты на уток Выбор дробовика для охоты на уток — важное решение, от которого зависит успех охоты. Подбирайте модели, обеспечивающие широкий разброс дроби, что повышает шанс попадания в птицу в движении. Калибр 12 отлично подходит для уток, так как обеспечивает стабильность выстрела на водоемах. Обратите внимание на длину ствола: длинные стволы позволяют точнее целиться на дальние расстояния. Используйте патроны с более крупной дробью, если охота проходит на открытых пространствах.

Royal Saint-Hubert Club de Belgique – Wallonia The Royal Club of St Hubert in Belgium, founded in 1909, is the most important association for the promotion and defence of hunting. It brings together 12,600 hunters . The association consists of two parts: the non-profit organisation Wallonne du RSHCB and the non-profit organisation Hubertus Vlaamse Vereniging. Both have the same objectives: to defend all hunting methods practised in an ethical manner. They raise hunters' awareness of habitat conservation and development, the protection of small fauna on the plains, the control of large game populations, the protection of the natural environment and biodiversity, the sharing of nature with other users, animal welfare and the role of health inspectors in relation to wild fauna...

Night hunting presents unique challenges. We discuss the challenges as well as the opportunities available with new technology. As discussed in previous Hogman Outdoors blogs, night hunting presents a unique set of challenges. Nocturnal animals are nocturnal for a very simple reason - they prefer, and in often cases are uniquely adept at, hunting, roaming and prowling at night. In the case of cats and coyotes, their eyes have an increased number of rods, as opposed to cones. Rods increase the ability to intake minimal ambient light and see as they do in full daylight; these animals in effect have their own unique "night vision", allowing them to be very effective at night hunting. It is often times population expansion/presence of human activity that drives these animals to nocturnal behavior. Hogs, on the other hand, are nocturnal for an entirely different reason, they prefer to avoid the heat and UV rays of the sun. While active during the day in the winter months, they w

V roce 1966 postavili místní obyvatelé svému slavnému rodákovi památník, jako projev úcty a obdivu. Základem sbírek se stal dar Růženy Holubové, manželky Dr. Emila Holuba. Ta věnovala Holicím vybavení manželovy vídeňské pracovny, dále sbírku knih a mnoho dalších exponátů, které Dr. Holub přivezl z Afriky. Památník Dr. Emila Holuba fungoval v nezměněné podobě až do konce roku 2010. Poté byl uzavřen a proběhla v něm celková rekonstrukce. Autorem nové expozice Afrického muzea Dr. Emila Holuba je Arch.

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.

Michigan weighs potential wolf hunting season If wolves are delisted, should Michigan hold a hunting season? This question is currently making the rounds in the Mitten State as the Michigan Natural Resources Commission (MNRC) determines whether or not that will occur if the state’s largest predator is removed from the federal endangered species list, according to The Detroit News. With annual tallies between 600 and 700, wolves are thriving in the Upper Peninsula and Michigan officials say that “the state’s wolf population has stayed stable for the past 12 years.” However, whether the state would hold a wolf hunting season continues to be a divided topic – one that invokes those passionate for a season and those who are strongly against one. “People don’t like wolves,” said Brian Roell, a Michigan Department of Natural Resources wildlife biologist. “Unlike any other wildlife we deal with, it’s a love-or-hate relationship for most folks.” Supporters of a potential hunting season say

The terrain is gently undulating, with numerous seasonal streams and fertile valleys, particularly around Ziro, Boulkiemdé, and Sissili provinces. While farming dominates, the natural landscape still holds ecological value — especially in areas where sacred groves, streamside vegetation, and uncultivated fallow lands support pockets of biodiversity.

Unveiling Traditional Hunting Methods in Africa: Skills That Endure. While modern firearms dominate hunting landscapes worldwide, Africa holds a rich heritage of traditional hunting methods, born from necessity and shaped by centuries of intimate knowledge of the land and its wildlife. These techniques, passed down through generations, represent a deep connection to the environment and a mastery of tracking, camouflage, and weapon crafting that can still offer valuable insights to the modern hunter. This article explores some of the most effective and enduring of these practices. 1. The Art of Tracking: Reading the Language of the Wild Before any weapon is employed, the traditional African hunter excels at tracking. This is not merely following footprints; it's interpreting a complex narrative etched into the earth. A skilled tracker can discern: Species Identification: Differentiating tracks based on size, shape, gait, and habitat. Animal Age and Sex: Clues within the track c

Field Butchering Tips and Tactics Blog by Marcus Weiner Photos by Brian Woobank Butchering big game is a skill earned from experience and can be daunting to the new hunter. But it doesn’t need to be. Ungulates are constructed the same way, so learning how to break down a deer will give you the introductory skills needed to tackle larger animals like caribou, elk and moose. Here are some field butchering tips and tactics. There are two school of thought on butchering big game in the field – the gutless method or the gutting method. I prefer the gutless method of field butchering big game. Since most of the animals I take in Alaska require them to be packed out, then breaking them down into four quarters; two backstraps; two tenderloins; two sets of ribs, briskets, flank and skirt steaks; and neck meat are the usually butchering method. With that fact in mind, the only reason to gut the animal is if you don’t have the ability to break it down immediately. My goal with every animal is

From My Blind to Yours: How I Choose Shotgun Shells for Hunting I’ve been hunting since I was old enough to carry a shotgun, and if there’s one lesson I’ve learned the hard way, it’s this: the wrong shell can cost you the shot of a lifetime. Whether you’re after birds or big game, knowing your ammo matters. This isn’t theory — it’s what I’ve figured out over seasons of trial, error, and a few missed opportunities. --- 🎯 First Things First: Understand Your Shell Every shotgun shell has three parts: • Casing — holds everything together • Primer — ignites the powder • Payload — either birdshot (multiple pellets), buckshot (larger pellets), or a slug (single projectile) You also need to match your shell to your shotgun’s gauge and chamber length. I shoot mostly 12-gauge, but I’ve used 20-gauge for lighter setups. Don’t assume — check your barrel markings before loading anything. --- 🐦 Birdshot: My Go-To for Feathered Game When I’m hunting birds — dove, pheasant, ducks — I use bi

Hunting season in East Belgium In East Belgium hunting can be carried out in an expansive forested area spanning some 45,000 hectares (111,000 acres). The right to hunt there can be obtained by leasing a hunting ground of at least 50 hectares (123 acres) from the forest owners (the Walloon region, the municipalities or the private owners). This lease runs for 6, 9 or 12 years. It goes without saying that every hunter must hold a hunting licence which is obtained by passing a suitable examination. In East Belgium, game predominantly consists of stags, deer and wild boars, the hunting of which is strictly organised by legislation and the large gamekeeping communities. Contrary to popular belief, hunting is not only organised for the pleasure of hunters but, above all, for the purpose of regulating the number of animals in the forest so that the economic utilisation of the forest is ensured. If game numbers are too high, this can result in substantial damage being caused to the rejuvenat

A hunter with his hunting fox. Canada, 1942. There is no historical evidence that foxes were used as hunting companions in Canada during the 1940s—or at any time in Canadian history. Unlike dogs, falcons, or even horses, foxes were not domesticated or trained for cooperative hunting in North America, including by Indigenous peoples or European settlers. Foxes in Canada were primarily associated with the fur trade, not hunting partnerships. The country had a well-established fur industry, and fox farming—especially for silver, red, and Arctic foxes—was a significant rural enterprise, particularly in the Canadian Maritimes, the Prairies, and the North. Fur farms proliferated in the early 20th century, peaking in the 1920s–1940s, when luxurious fox fur coats were in high demand in Europe and the United States. Wild foxes were trapped for their pelts, often using steel leg-hold traps or snares. Trappers—many of them Indigenous or Métis, or non-Indigenous residents of remote regions—reli

Top 5 <strong>Hunting</strong> Towns in America
Have You Ever Hunted in These Towns?

Top 5 Hunting Towns in America Have You Ever Hunted in These Towns? Man, you hate to rank stuff sometimes. Case in point, college football. What makes one team better than another, anyway — TV time, a difficult schedule, wins and losses? Rankings and choices concerning numero uno lend themselves to loopholes, weak arguments and plenty of opinions. So what exactly qualifies a town as one of the BEST hunting towns in America? To find out, I polled hunters who find themselves in the woods for work and play … biologists, editors and industry folks, and here’s what they said: Every great hunting town needs a variety of game. It has to have cafés, hole-in-the wall restaurants, inexpensive hotels, meat processors, and a game and fish office nearby doesn’t hurt, either. Tons of public hunting land within an hour’s drive. Interesting stuff to see if you tag out early or just get tired of hunting. Albuquerque, New Mexico New Mexico’s scattered peaks are notorious for growing monster bulls. A r

Hunting in Hoima: Geography and Natural Features, Hunting Demographics, and Game Species Diversity The first scent of dawn in Hoima carries the musky odor of elephants mixed with woodsmoke from distant villages. Somewhere in the thick bush, a buffalo herd stirs, their hooves kicking up red dust that hangs in the humid air. This is Uganda's new frontier - where oil derricks rise on the horizon like metal baobabs, yet the wilderness still pulses with primeval energy. For hunters seeking Africa before the modern world changes it forever, Hoima offers a fleeting, precious opportunity. The Land That Time Remembered Hoima's geography reads like an adventure novel: Riverine Jungles along the Victoria Nile hide crocodiles large enough to give pause Oil Palm Plantations create unexpected edges where bushpigs raid at twilight Murchison Falls' Shadow brings spillover wildlife including rogue elephants Papyrus Swamps conceal sitatunga so wary they're called "forest phantoms" The district sits

41 Airport Rd, Keene Valley, NY 12943 $695,000, 6 beds, 5 baths, 4,704 sqft Surrounded by the Adirondack High Peaks, Brook Knoll is an architecturally unique 3-story summer home originally built in 1876 by John Matthews, a patent holder for the soda fountain. The house is sited on one of the significant rock knolls that dot the sides of Keene Valley's beautiful mountain landscape and was memorably photographed by famed photographer Seneca Ray Stoddard. While retaining its historic character, the property has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms including a new master en suite. Impressive stonework, massive living room with signature fireplace, extensive porches and a deck with views of the surrounding mountains and Porter Brook flowing through an arched stone bridge make Brook Knoll a special spot for summer gatherings. While located close to Keene Valley village and on the town bike path linking to Keene, the 7-acre property features a private looped driveway and an extensive

Teknologi og vinter Teknologi og vinter Vi lever i et omskifteligt klima: relativt set er halvdelen af ​​året sommer, halvdelen af ​​året er vinter. Dyr smelter, folk skifter deres shorts til dunjakker... Man skal ikke tro, at udstyret i sig selv overlever temperaturændringer nemt og enkelt. Hun skal også passes. Hvis vi sublimerer alle "glæderne" ved overgangen fra temperaturer over nul til under nul, så vil der være fire hovedpunkter, der er værd at være opmærksomme på. Alt, hvad der var flydende (alle brændstoffer og smøremidler) bliver mere tyktflydende; alt, der holder en opladning (batterier og batterier) tømmes og aflades dobbelt så hurtigt; alt, der kan indeholde vand, vil indeholde is; alt, hvad der var blødt og plastisk (pakninger, elastik osv.) bliver "egetræ".

På trods af at spydfiskeri i modsætning til fiskeri fra en båd, fra kysten og fra is kun kan foregå i åbent vand (hvor der, uanset årstiden, ikke er iltsult og fiskene er aktive), er taktikken af spearfishing er meget forskelligartede, og dens beskrivelse kræver et format bøger. Ofte bruges kun aktive søge- og liggemetoder. Aktiv eftersøgning i åbent vand involverer aktiv dykning og inspektion af undervandsrummet for at søge efter fisk i deres levesteder. Spearfishing taktik i siv og tæt vegetation adskiller sig væsentligt fra åbent vand. En af metoderne er "nesting", når dykkeren dykker til bunden i et skakternet mønster og inspicerer mellemrummet mellem bunden og vandvegetationen. At ligge ned sker, mens du holder vejret og kan foregå enten mens dykkeren er camoufleret, ved hjælp af funktionerne i undervandsterrænet eller uden camouflage. Når man ligger ned, udføres eftersøgningen efter fisk ofte "gennem lyset", eller fisken forventes at nærme sig inden for skudafstand. En af strøe

Beretta Shotgun Chokes selection: Mastering Your Pattern for Hunting Success For Beretta shotgun owners, understanding choke selection is critical to maximizing your success in the field. The right choke transforms your shotgun from a general-purpose tool into a precision instrument tailored to specific game and hunting scenarios. Here's what you need to know, stripped down to the essentials. Why Choke Matters: Beyond the Basics Choke isn't just about tightening or loosening the shot pattern. It's about energy management. By constricting the shot as it exits the barrel, you control the density and effective range of your pattern. A tighter choke holds the pattern together longer, delivering more pellets on target at greater distances. A more open choke spreads the pattern quickly, ideal for close-range, fast-moving targets. Beretta Choke Systems: Identifying Yours Beretta uses several choke systems. The most common are: Mobilchoke: Found on many older and some current Beretta

Тест кейса «Выстрел» от компании Holster Здравствуйте, друзья охотники и к ним примкнувшие! Вот и наступила наша горячая пора - охота ! Кто-то едет на машине, кто-то идёт пешком до места охоты, кто-то использует общественный транспорт. Но все мы пользуемся оружейными чехлами, кейсами и т.д. Вот об кейсах я и хотел поговорить! Вернее о кейсе "Выстрел" фирмы Holster, который мне предоставили для тестирования. За то короткое время, что я успел им попользоваться, а вернее, подвергая его "водным процедурам", я понял, что этот кейс во многом превосходит обычные образцы. В чем его превосходство спросите вы?! Отвечу. 1) Он имеет полужесткое состояние, хорошо держит форму. 2) Ружьё Иж-27 в нем лежит как влитое, ствол не болтается, не смотря на то, что чулок под него сквозной. 3) Удобен в переносе как на плече, так и в руке, и за спиной. За счёт того, что он полужёсткий, дискомфорта нет вообще, даже если и придётся бежать с ним за спиной. 4) Очень хорошие молнии, бегунки большие и эласт
