The Swedish Vallhund: A Hunter's Secret Weapon For those of us who prize versatility, intelligence, and sheer grit in a hunting companion, the Swedish Vallhund deserves a serious look. This ancient breed, hailing from the Viking lands, is far more than just a charming herding dog. With the right training, the Vallhund can be a surprisingly effective hunter. What Can a Vallhund Hunt? Traditionally, Vallhunds weren't purpose-bred for a specific type of game. Their herding background meant they were adept at working with cattle, sheep, and other livestock. However, their intelligence and drive make them adaptable to hunting a variety of quarry: Small Game: Rabbits, hares, squirrels, and rodents are well within the Vallhund's capabilities. Their quick reflexes and tenacious nature are a real asset. Birds: Some Vallhunds can be trained as flushing dogs for upland birds like grouse, quail, and pheasant. Larger Game (with caveats): While not typically used as primary big-game hunters, V

LEITRIM'S Hunting Seasons Unveiled: Essential Dates, Licenses, and Prime Game Pursuits in Ireland's Hidden Wilderness General Hunting Rules and Seasons in Leitrim Hunting in Leitrim operates under strict National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) regulations with distinct seasons for different game. The bird hunting season runs from 1 September to 31 January for pheasant and woodcock, while duck hunting extends to 20 February in coastal wetlands. Deer seasons vary by species: red deer stags (1 August - 30 April), hinds (1 November - 28 February), with similar dates for sika and fallow deer. Leitrim's unique landscape of lakes, bogs, and mixed woodlands creates microhabitats affecting game patterns - the Shannon-Erne waterway system particularly influences duck migrations.

Hunting regulations Czech Republic For hunting in the Czech Republic you need a Czech hunting license (please bring your own valid hunting license from your country too) and a hunting liability insurance from the Czech Insurance Office. Both are organized by our partner for you. Export of trophies The trophies for game caught in the Czech Republic may be imported into EU without any problems. Traceability can be required by the EU authorities at any time, e.g. the hunter must be able to prove where the game was killed. This is the hunting protocol which is created at the end of the hunt. Small game hunting Our partner has been dedicated to small game hunting for years and organizes hunts for pheasants, royal pheasants, wild turkeys and red chickens.

In Horn of the Hunter, Robert Ruark describes two Cape buffalo he took on his first safari, in 1951, in (then) Tanganyika with Harry Selby. The first was wounded and gave the pair a hell of a time until he finally succumbed. The second, which had much bigger and more massive horns, was also wounded, and disappeared into a dense thicket. Selby and Ruark looked at each other, then sat down to smoke a cigarette. As the minutes wore on, Ruark became more and more anxious about what was to come. Then Selby invited him to accompany him as he went after the buffalo — a serious compliment as you know if you’ve ever been in that situation. Ruark steeled himself, checked his .470, and off they went. The tracking took some time. It probably seemed much longer than it was, but that’s the way these things work, as they crept along, expecting a charge at any second.

I shot this button buck Saturday night while sitting at the base of a giant oak tree. Three does came out of the cedars earlier that evening, but they were about 155 yards away and moving at a pretty good clip. Then this young deer came out, and when he finally moved out from behind a couple trees in front of me, he stopped quartering toward me and gave me a shot at about 75 yards. I don’t prefer to hunt with a muzzleloader, but the December season seems to be about the only time I get the opportunity to hunt deer. The shot rang and after a moment of blindness, the smoke cleared. I saw the deer bolt about 50 yards to my right. I thought I’d missed him, but as he approached a couple lone cedar trees in the open, he made a sharp, confused U-turn, and then crashed down into the dry creek bed to the north. I almost expected him to get up and continue running over the hill, or slip away down the dry bed. Trembling, I reloaded my gun. If he was there, I needed to give him time to die with

A SIXTH SENSE? I returned to the same ranch the following autumn with my two sons with the intent of tagging a couple of those bucks. However, I had no intention of letting them shoot a buck as it ran to the sound of the landowner’s ATV. Even if I did, it wouldn’t have mattered. The deer didn’t come running, preferring instead to wait for the cover of darkness to come to the corn, despite that the ranch’s deer were rarely hunted. Do whitetails have innate ability to know when something poses a risk or when it doesn’t? There’s no way to tell, but it sure seems that way. As Salamone suggests, urban deer seem to know when a human in their woods is hunting them and when he isn’t. That’s why we need to take all the precautions we can, no matter where we hunt. It’s okay to relieve yourself under your treestand, but if you must drive an ATV, park it as far away from your stand as you can. And leave the cigarettes in your pocket until you kill a deer.

Secrets of the SLIEVE BLOOM: Mastering Hunting Calendar, Licenses, and Prime Game Opportunities in Ireland's Ancient Mountains General Hunting Rules and Seasons in Slieve Bloom Mountains The Slieve Bloom Mountains operate under Ireland's national hunting framework with some local adaptations. Deer seasons run from 1 September to 31 December for stags (red and sika) and 1 November to 28 February for hinds. Game bird seasons follow standard dates: pheasant (1 October - 31 January), woodcock (1 November - 31 January), and duck (1 September - 31 January). The region's unique geology - being Ireland's oldest mountains with extensive blanket bogs - creates microclimates that delay spring growth by 2-3 weeks compared to surrounding lowlands, pushing rutting seasons later. Unlike the neighboring Midlands, Slieve Bloom maintains stricter deer quotas due to ongoing native woodland regeneration projects.

But these days, the Prois pro-staff coordinator and licensed falconer does her small-game hunting with a raptor named Hades Katherine Browne’s hunting partner, Hades, can be a little high strung and aggressive at times, but Browne overlooks it. Hades is pretty good at what he does, and that behavior is typical for his kind. A northern goshawk, Hades is a member of the raptor family, and his natural maneuverability and speed make him a top predator and excellent hunting companion. When Browne, the dealer relations and pro-staff coordinator for Prois Hunting Apparel, is not working, you can often find the licensed falconer training Hades to hunt ducks, pheasant, grouse and quail in the woods and fields by her home.

ELK RETURN TO NORTH CAROLINA It took about 20 years, but elk have returned to the Cataloochee Valley in North Carolina. Once native to the Tar Heel State, eastern elk vanished in the 1800s due to human encroachment on key habitat. However, now, while exact numbers are still to be determined, elk are back in the Great Smoky Mountains in Southern Appalachian, the Citizen Times reports. Wildlife biologist Joseph Yarkovich has been involved with the project since its beginnings and hopes to one day “have one large, contiguous population throughout the East Coast again,” but adds, “that’s still way, way down the road.” For now, those involved with the elk recovery project are hoping to obtain an accurate population count. “What we’ve been doing up until now is conducting a minimum count,” said Yarkovich. “The park in collaboration with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and the North Carolina Wildlife Commission will coordinate for three days in a row to count as many elk as we can s
