Grand Canyon Won't Seek Volunteers to Kill Bison This Fall Grand Canyon National Park has decided not to extend a pilot project this fall that used volunteers to kill bison to downsize the herd. FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — A bison herd that lives almost exclusively in the northern reaches of Grand Canyon National Park won't be targeted for lethal removal there this fall. The park used skilled volunteers selected through a highly competitive and controversial lottery last year to kill bison, part of a toolset to downsize the herd that's been trampling meadows and archaeological sites on the canyon's North Rim. Introducing the sound of gunfire and having people close to the bison was meant to nudge the massive animals back to the adjacent forest where they legally could be hunted. But the efforts had little effect. “They just kind of moved a bit from where the activity occurred, and sometimes they'd come back the next day,” said Grand Canyon wildfire program manager Greg Holm.

Tips for Nighttime Predator Hunters Ditch the daylight for consistent coyote hunting action Hunting at night can be one of the most effective ways to take coyotes. Like most predators, they tend to be more active after dark, so chances are good that they’ll be up and searching for food while you’re calling to them. Hiding under the cover of darkness makes it much easier to trick a predator’s keen eyesight, too. So what’s stopping you from predator hunting at night? In a lot of places, it’s illegal. But the good news is, more and more states are passing new and expanding existing night hunting regulations. Kentucky opened night hunting a couple years ago, and a bill currently working through the Pennsylvania House would allow hunting with night vision and thermal scopes for part of the year. Since regulations are changing fast, it’s important to do some research so that you know your state’s exact law before you go. Play It Safe Coyotes and other predators tend to see a lot better than

Review of the Rika NV GTR450 Thermal Scope I recently had the opportunity to use the Rika NV GTR450 thermal scope, and I'm excited to share my thoughts about it. As an avid hunter and outdoor enthusiast, I was looking for a quality thermal scope that could enhance my nighttime visibility without breaking the bank. The Rika NV GTR450, priced at around $1500, seemed to fit the bill. Here’s my honest assessment, detailing both the pros and cons of this product. Rika NV Pros: Excellent Image Quality: One of the standout features of the Rika NV GTR450 is its exceptional image clarity. The thermal resolution is impressive, providing clear images even in complete darkness. The performance in cold weather is particularly noteworthy, as it can detect heat signatures effectively despite low temperatures.

Province takes more steps to combat chronic wasting disease The province is taking more actions to prevent the spread of a deadly disease that impacts deer and other wildlife. Chronic wasting disease was first detected in Manitoba last year in five mule deer along the Manitoba-Saskatchewan border. CWD is an incurable, fatal disease that also effects elk moose and caribou. And while no additional cases have been detected, the province is expanding what’s called a mandatory sample submission zone, which requires hunters in certain areas to provide samples of their harvested animal for testing. And a strictly regulated and managed mule deer hunting season will be established.

Noted Mumbai-based bird rescuer moves high court to quash hunting charges against him Pradeep D’souza, a well-known bird rescuer of Mumbai, recently approached the Bombay High Court seeking to quash an FIR lodged against him by the Maharashtra Forest Department for allegedly hunting and purchasing wild animals. The FIR was filed for alleged violation of the Wildlife (Protection) Act (WPA) in 2021. D’Souza, 47, claimed to be the most sought-after bird rescuer in Mumbai who rescues and rehabilitates trapped, sick and injured birds. He said that even forest department officials seek his help for rehabilitation of birds as the government had inadequate infrastructure for the same. D’Souza, in a petition filed through advocate Amrita Nair, submitted that on March 14, 2020, he had written a letter to the Office of Conservator of Forest, Thane Forest Division and had given a list of the birds rescued by him according to the guidelines provided in the WPA.

Seeking Sun Amountain lion kills an elk calf in a wooded area of Taos, New Mexico. It happens in a small clearing that leads to one million undeveloped acres of Carson National Forest. That clearing is Garrett Vene Klasen’s front yard and he has a front-row seat for the wildest feast he’s ever witnessed. There’s only one problem. He doesn’t have the right camera. “The right camera would have made a huge difference,” says Garrett Vene Klasen, hunter and New Mexico Wild northern conservation director. “All I had was the camera on my doorbell, which is sad.” The shots from that doorbell camera are low-grade grainy and the audio sounds stuffed with earwax. You can tell what’s going on as long as you’re in range of the home’s Wi-Fi, but the experience is lackluster due to poor resolution and limited capabilities.

CNW- The Government of Antigua and Barbuda has denied its representatives on the International Whaling Commission (IWC) are assisting with efforts to repeal the whaling ban. Whaling is the process of hunting whales for their usable products such as meat and blubber, which can be turned into a type of oil that became increasingly important in the Industrial Revolution In a statement released yesterday, the government said, “Cabinet has NOT agreed to repeal the moratorium on whale hunting and is unaware of any statement to the contrary.” The government of Antigua and Barbuda issued the statement after international media outlets and marine charities reported that Antigua and Barbuda had proposed the repeal of the moratorium on whaling alongside Japan and several other nations.

Taxidermy, the intricate art of preserving animal specimens, has long captivated the hearts of hunters and nature enthusiasts alike. Among the bounty of the wilderness, the capercaillie and the black grouse stand out as regal representatives of avian wildlife, emblematic of the untamed forests they inhabit. Their vibrant plumage and majestic postures become timeless reminders of the beauty of nature when preserved through taxidermy. The process itself is both an art and a science, requiring a deft touch and keen understanding of anatomy. Each step, from skinning to mounting, is meticulously executed to ensure the resulting display is a lifelike homage to the creature's former existence. Hunters often seek to immortalize their trophies, capturing the essence of the hunt and the thrill of the chase.

How Long Will a Benelli Shotgun Last? A Gunsmith’s Perspective on Durability, Round Count & Real-World Longevity When investing in a premium shotgun, longevity is more than a selling point - it’s a promise. And few names carry that promise quite like Benelli. Whether you’re a waterfowler dragging your M2 through flooded timber, a tactical operator relying on the M4, or a clay shooter putting thousands of rounds through a SuperSport, one question inevitably arises: How long will a Benelli shotgun last? Let’s break it down - not with marketing fluff, but with real-world data, mechanical insight, and field-proven experience. 🔧 What Determines Shotgun Longevity? Before we talk numbers, it’s important to understand what affects a shotgun’s lifespan: • Round count (volume of fire) • Maintenance habits • Environmental exposure (saltwater, dust, cold) • Build quality and materials • Design of the action (inertia vs. gas) Benelli’s reputation for durability stems from its inertia-driven

W/S Inertia-Operated Semi-Automatic Shotgun Review I recently had the opportunity to test the W/S inertia-operated semi-automatic shotgun, and I wanted to share my thoughts on its performance, design, and overall usability. As an avid shooter, I always seek firearms that balance reliability and ease of use, and the W/S shotgun came highly recommended by fellow enthusiasts. Pros: Reliability: One of the standout features of the W/S shotgun is its reliability. The inertia-operated system can function well even in less-than-ideal conditions, making it a solid choice for hunting and sport shooting. I tested it with various loads, and it cycled smoothly without any hiccups. Quick Follow-up Shots: The semi-auto action allows for quick follow-up shots, which is crucial during hunting or competitive shooting scenarios. I was able to maintain a good rhythm and accuracy when firing multiple rounds, which is a significant advantage over pump-action shotguns. Lightweight Design: The W/S sho

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.

Palm groves, acacia patches, and low dunes shape the land where game animals seek shade and scarce water sources. With scorching summers and mild, dry winters, Kebili’s climate limits animal activity to the cooler seasons, making hunting a highly seasonal and environmentally dependent pursuit.

Training hunting dog puppies is an essential step in cultivating their natural instincts and preparing them for a successful future in the field. The key to effective training lies in starting early, as puppies are most receptive to learning during their first few months of life. Begin with basic obedience commands such as "sit," "stay," and "come," which lay the foundation for more advanced skills. Incorporating play into training is crucial, as puppies learn best when they are engaged and having fun. Use interactive games that mimic hunting scenarios, such as fetch or hide and seek, to encourage their instinctual behaviors. Gradually introduce them to scents and tracking exercises, allowing them to explore their extraordinary olfactory capabilities. Socialization is another fundamental aspect of training hunting puppies. Expose them to various environments, people, and other animals to build their confidence and adaptability. A well-socialized puppy will be more comfortable in the

Rule of thumb is: if you're invited and your party consists of more than 2, leave camo at home or in moderation (ie. only a cap or a mask). While loden and waxed cotton remains popular, modern hunting clothing is made to be comfortable, quiet, sturdy, warm and prefferably tick-proof. As for hunting techniques. -Hunting from a blind is the preferred method. Either low near the ground for birds or in a treestand or elevated blind for larger game. -Driven hunt is a popular second. Takes more people, is more expensive, but very spectacular. The driven hunt comes in many varieties, and is subject to many rules, traditions and rituals which vary by region. -Walking flushing hunt is popular in the wide open agricultural areas as well. Requires good dogs. -Stalking has quite a following as well. Although recently, I've heard a scientist say on a symposium: "95% of the hunters believe they belong to the 5% who can
