Pheasant Stocking In PA HARRISBURG, PA -- Saying there is bad news and good news for the future of pheasant hunting, Pennsylvania Game Commission officials have announced that hunters still should expect to see the agency's pheasant stocking efforts increase to 200,000 birds for the 2012-12 license year. However, because of recent flooding impacts at two of the agency's game farms, hunters will notice a significant reduction in pheasant stockings this year. "Prior to the flooding from Tropical Storm Lee, Game Commission game farms were on track to have more than 104,000 ring-necked pheasants for release on public lands throughout the Commonwealth for the upcoming small game hunting seasons," said Carl G. Roe, agency executive director. "Unfortunately, flood waters that wrecked havoc for tens of thousands of Pennsylvanians also destroyed pheasant holding fields at the Loyalsock and Northcentral game farms in Lycoming County. "Initial reports showed about 40,000 birds either perished i

Myotts COUNTRY LIFE Hand Engraved Dinnerware Set (1982) I recently came across an exquisite dinnerware set from Myotts® that caught my attention - particularly for its nostalgic charm and attention to detail. This set, dating back to 1982, is part of the COUNTRY LIFE collection, and it's evident that a lot of care went into its design and craftsmanship. First and foremost, the hand-engraved English scenes on each piece add a unique character that sets it apart from mass-produced dinnerware. The illustrations depict the culture and traditions of English hunting, hunting in England on horseback, the love of English hounds, the strength of passionate hunters, perfectly capturing the essence of real English country life and the traditions of hunters. Each piece feels like a little work of art, making every meal feel special. The colors are declared as "permanent," and I must say that after using this set for several occasions, they have held up remarkably well. There’s no fading or wea

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

12 Reasons Why Your Venison Tastes Like Hell Is your deer meat tough, dry, and gamy? It shouldn’t be. Check out this list of 12 deer-butchering sins to find out why your venison tastes bad — and how to make it better I’m often amazed at the people, deer hunters included, who tell me they just don’t like venison. That statement is usually followed by a qualifier: it’s tough; it’s gamy; it’s dry. And so on. I’ve eaten a lot of good deer meat. But I’ve eaten some really bad deer meat, too. I’m only a self-trained butcher, but I’ve been processing five to six deer a season for the better part of 20 years. When it comes to cooking, I’m no Scott Leysath or Michael Pendley, either, but my wife, kid, and I do eat venison in some form two or three meals per week, year-round. I think we eat pretty good. Some things consistently make venison really tasty. And some things will ruin the flavor, too. Here are a dozen of the worst offenders. 1. Poor Field Care In the real world of hunting, things

Такса: любознательность, как отличительная черта породы #Даксхунд – одна из самых старых норных пород охотничьих собак. Это означает, что она может без особых усилий долго преследовать диких животных, живущих в норах (#барсуки, #енотовиднаясобака, #лиса). У представителей породы - громкий голос и отличное чутье на зверя. Из #такс получаются отличные охотники - они легко учуют след таких животных, как лиса, барсук, енот, #медведь и дикий #кабан. Даксхунды также эффективны в охоте на водоплавающих #птиц. В лесу такая охотничья собака с легкостью может найти раненого зверя или человека по запаху крови. Таксам доставляет истинное удовольствие копать, выискивать чей-либо след или преследовать дичь. Такса, благодаря своему сверхразвитому чутью, также отличный охранник вверенной ей территории, будь-то двор, дом или иной участок. Если потребуется, она будет отчаянно защищать место, которое считает своим своим, от чужаков. Подробнее на сайте https://e-zoo.com.ua/blog/novosti/taksa-lyuboznate

1ste wolf geschoten in Oostenrijk In Oberösterreich (Opper-Oostenrijk), een deelstaat van Oostenrijk met als hoofdstad Linz, is in de nacht van dinsdag op woensdag de eerste wolf geschoten, en dit sinds de nieuwe verordening inzake wolvenbeheer op 1 juli van kracht werd. Opper-Oostenrijk, amper 900km verwijderd van België, grenst aan Duitsland en Tsjechië, wat er meteen voor zorgt dat “wolvenbeheer” geen ver-van-mijn-bedshow meer is. Ging het om een probleemwolf? De wolf – om precies te zijn een vrouwtjeswolf – was al drie keer weggejaagd omdat ze haar natuurlijke schuwheid verloren had en mensen te dicht benaderde. Daarom was er sprake van een probleemwolf die volgens de nieuwe regelgeving vanaf 30 oktober kon geschoten worden. Een DNA-analyse moet nog uitwijzen of de wolvin ook verantwoordelijk was voor eventuele aanvallen op vee uit de buurt. “De veiligheid van de mensen en het voortbestaan van onze familieboerderijen worden in onze provincie gewaarborgd“, benadrukte Michaela Lange

The SPAS-12 was designed to function primarily in semi-automatic mode, with the pump-action mode used to reliably fire low-pressure ammunition such as tear gas rounds or less-lethal bean bags. The firing mode is switched by depressing the button under the fore-grip and also sliding it forwards or backwards until it clicks into position allowing the rotating sleeve to open or close the two gas ports. The semi-automatic mode functions with a short-stroke gas piston system. When a shell is fired, the pressure makes the bolt move rearward but the bolt will stop before opening as it deploys a single top locking lug. The gas vents into the barrel and the gas port is located towards the end of the barrel. From the gas port, the gas vents downwards into the gas block where it pushes the piston rearward. Because of the presence of the magazine tube and to avoid the use of a top-mounted gas system, the gas block and the piston are annular, along with the piston spring they enclose the magazine

Bullets now are long and streamlined, tipped with space-age material, and constructed of copper married to lead through special bonding processes. They are incredibly accurate, highly aerodynamic, and boast superb terminal performance. They are the finest killing projectiles the world has ever known; that’s a great thing for us as hunters.

Hunting has been a cornerstone of Mongolian culture for millennia. In the harsh and unforgiving environment of the Gobi Desert, hunting was not just a means of survival but also a way to hone the skills necessary for nomadic life.

In Dundgovi Province, hunting traditions are deeply rooted in the local way of life.

The rugged construction feels solid and can withstand the rigors of outdoor use. I’ve taken it out in harsh conditions, including rain and mud, and it has not faltered. It’s also shockproof, which gives me confidence when using it on high-caliber firearms. Battery Life: The battery life of the ELECTRO-DOT SIGHT is impressive. I’ve noticed that I can use it

Life of a Sockeye On July 22nd, 2021, news broke that Bristol Bay was having its biggest sockeye salmon return since recordkeeping began in 1893. More than 63 million sockeye had returned to the bay’s different watersheds and fish were still running. By the time the run was complete, almost 66 million sockeye had returned on their journey to complete the life of a sockeye salmon. A few days later, I left town to guide a natural history brown-bear film shoot in Southeast Alaska. One of the sequences we were trying to get was of a bear chasing salmon underwater. We had a camera in an underwater housing submerged near the base of a raging waterfall. It could be operated from 100 yards away with an iPad. On its screen, I watched dozens of pink salmon and small, darting, feasting Dolly Varden. In the middle of the frenzy was a salmon with a crimson body and green head—a male sockeye. It was swimming in place beneath the falls, waiting for the right moment to attempt climbing them so it cou

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

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

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

Područje graniči s poznatim pojasom Caprivi/Kavango-Zambezi i nacionalnim parkom Babwata u sjevernoj Namibiji. Na ovom području nema sela ni naselja.

Kamp se sastoji od velikih, udobnih safari šatora s vlastitim kupaonicama i blagovaonicom opremljenom luksuznim klasičnim namještajem i umjetninama. Kvota je ograničena na pet licenci godišnje.

Organizatori lova pokušavaju smanjiti utjecaj na divlje životinje, pa ograničavaju broj lovaca koji su istovremeno u kampu na 1-2. Kamp se sastoji od velikih udobnih Safari šatora s kupaonicama i blagovaonicom opremljenom luksuznim klasičnim namještajem i umjetnošću. Kvota je ograničena na pet licenci godišnje. Zahvaljujući tome, ovdje je moguće dobiti stvarno velikog slona. Kvota također uključuje dvije dozvole za leoparda i druge razne vrste životinja.
