... And my life without these three blissful days Would be sadder and gloomier... I really want to quote the classics, because this hunt is pure classic, and in the mountains of the ⛰ Caucasus the soul always sings from beauty and freedom. ➡️ 3 days are given to get a trophy of a graceful Caucasian chamois.

Gun hunting. Moose, hunted on September 17, 1900 by Major General A.A. Brusilov. Major General Aleksei Alekseevich Brusilov was a distinguished Russian military leader whose career spanned the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in 1853, Brusilov rose through the ranks of the Imperial Russian Army, distinguishing himself as a tactical innovator and a compassionate commander. His most notable achievement came during World War I with the Brusilov Offensive in 1916, a meticulously planned campaign that achieved significant territorial gains against the Central Powers. Brusilov's approach to warfare emphasized mobility and surprise, breaking from the traditional trench warfare tactics that had led to stalemates on many fronts. His offensive demonstrated the effectiveness of coordinated artillery barrages and rapid infantry advances, inflicting heavy losses on Austro-Hungarian forces and providing a much-needed morale boost for the Russian army. Beyond his battlefield successes, Bru

Britská asociace pro střelbu a ochranu přírody (BASC) oznámila, že první tři legislativní změny významné pro chov spárkaté zvěře ve Skotsku vstoupily v platnost ke konci října. Došlo k tomu po konzultacích se skotskou vládou probíhajících od začátku roku 2023. První ze změn je, že od 21. října 2023 byla zrušena omezená doba lovu samců všech druhů jelenovitých (jelen evropský, daněk evropský, sika, srnec obecný). Znamená to, že jejich odstřel nyní ve Skotsku může probíhat po celý rok. Přestože BASC byla proti tomuto návrhu, uznává, že může odstranit určité překážky v managementu populací jelenovitých. BASC však i nadále prosazuje, aby v zimních měsících bylo prioritou dosažení plánovaného odstřelu holé zvěře. Cílem skotské vlády je snížit škody působené zvěří při obnově lesa a celková redukce stavů zvěře. Protiargumenty však upozorňovaly na to, že opatření může mít naopak kontraproduktivní účinek, kdy subjekty hospodařící se zvěří kvůli němu mohou zanedbávat odstřel samičí zvěře, jejíž

Louisiana sets first hunting season for iconic 'Teddy' bear in 2024 as population swells Louisiana approved the first hunting season for the black bear next year after the state's large carnivore expert assured wildlife regulators the once threatened population has grown enough to sustain a limited harvest. The Louisiana Wildlife Commission voted unanimously Thursday to establish the season for the iconic "Teddy" bear in December 2024 in which 10 adult bears can be killed. Commissioners voted to issue the 10 permits through a lottery. Hunting next year will be limited to the northeastern Louisiana Mississippi Delta parishes East Carroll, Madison, Tensas and West Carroll and portions of Catahoula, Franklin and Richland. "We can certainly have a conservative harvest in limited areas," John Hanks, manager of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries large carnivore program, told commissioners during the October meeting.

Omezení použití LUP v pásmu AMP již jen na naháňkách černé zvěře Změna mimořádných veterinárních opatření týkající se afrického moru prasat na Liberecku K 1.9.2023 upravila Státní veterinární správa (SVS) mimořádná veterinární opatření (MVO) ve vztahu k africkému moru prasat (AMP) na Liberecku. První změna se týká přesunů domácích prasat z oblastí mimo uzavřená pásma do pásem I a II. Doposud platilo, že pro tyto přesuny bylo nutné dopředu získat veterinární osvědčení, až poté bylo možné přesun realizovat. Od nynějška stačí takovýto přesun pouze předem nahlásit Státní veterinární správě prostřednictvím webového formuláře, a to nejméně 48 hodin před přesunem. Tuto povinnost má chovatel v uzavřených pásmech, ke kterému se prasata přemísťují. Důvodem popsané změny je zjednodušení administrativy a také to, že mimo uzavřená pásma platí ve vztahu k AMP dobrá nákazová situace.

Zvěřina se vzhledem ke svému složení právem řadí mezi dieteticky nejhodnotnější potraviny, neboť se vyznačuje vysokým obsahem bílkovin s velkou biologickou hodnotou a současně velmi nízkým obsahem tuku, který přitom ale má významný podíl pro lidský organizmus velmi hodnotných nenasycených mastných kyselin. Chuť zvěřiny je druhově specifická, což znamená, že je u jednotlivých druhů zvěře odlišná a pro daný druh charakteristická. Její barva je tmavě červená s výrazně sytějším odstínem než má maso hospodářských zvířat. To je částečně dáno tím, že zvěř není porážena s následným, téměř kompletním vykrvením, ale bývá usmrcena ulovením, přičemž v její svalovině i přes částečné vykrvení při vyvržení a otevření velkých cév zůstává určitý podíl krve. Navíc má zvěřina v porovnání s masem hospodářských zvířat mnohem vyšší obsah svalového barviva myoglobinu, který také ve značné míře přispívá k jejímu výraznému zbarvení.

Munchkin se smatra neobičnom pasminom mačaka zbog činjenice da ove mačke imaju prilično kratke noge. Mnoge pasmine mačaka, kako bi pregledale životni prostor oko sebe, penju se na stražnje noge. Munchkins ne stoje na stražnjim nogama, već sjede na sjedištu, čvrsto odmarajući rep. Istodobno, prednje noge vise, stvarajući dojam sličnosti ove mačke s klokanom. Munchkins su rođeni kao rezultat slučajnih mutacijskih procesa, pa pojava ove pasmine ni na koji način nije povezana s naporima uzgajivača. To se dogodilo negdje početkom prošlog stoljeća. Posebnost ove životinje povezana je s izvornim izgledom, zbog prisutnosti gena ahondroplazina u genima Munchkina. Nakon pojave ove pasmine, cijela je Europa Žestoko raspravljala o ovoj činjenici, što ukazuje na pojavu neobične mačke s vrlo kratkim udovima. Pasmina se pojavila na našem teritoriju ne tako davno, prije desetak i pol godina, ali uspjela je steći povjerenje mnogih uzgajivača. Unatoč prisutnosti kratkih šapa, ove životinje imaju kla

La caccia alle anatre è un'attività molto popolare in Italia, soprattutto durante la stagione autunnale. Ci sono molte specie di anatre che possono essere cacciate, tra cui l'anatra reale, l'anatra mandarina e l'anatra selvatica. Per cacciare le anatre in Italia, è necessario possedere una licenza di caccia valida e rispettare le regole e i regolamenti locali. Le leggi sulla caccia variano da regione a regione e possono essere diverse a seconda della specie di animale che si desidera cacciare. Durante la caccia alle anatre, è importante indossare abiti adatti e utilizzare attrezzature di caccia appropriate. Molte aree di caccia in Italia sono gestite da associazioni locali di cacciatori, che monitorano le attività di caccia e promuovono la conservazione della fauna selvatica.

Карликовая такса Охотиться с карликовой таксой не принято, поскольку для работы по норному зверю порода слишком мала, особенно если речь идет не о трусливом молодняке, а о лисах и барсуках с опытом. Конечно, оказавшись в норе, такса будет изо всех сил стараться гнать добычу, вот только зверь вряд ли впечатлится размерами своего преследователя. Тем не менее отдельные владельцы практикуют с породой вылазки в лес и поле, но больше с развлекательной целью, чем с практической. На охотничьих состязаниях периодически появляются карликовые таксы, имеющие дипломы I степени по лисе и барсуку, однако важно понимать, что, в основном, это особи, работающие на притравочных станциях, а не в естественных природных условиях. Найти в России карликовую таксу из охотничьих линий крайне сложно, но если вам удалось обзавестись таким щенком, можете попробовать свои силы в притравке. Однако сначала с питомцем нужно пройти подготовительные стадии, то есть социализацию, воспитание и обучение командам «Сидеть!»

Bear Gun Shootout: The Drill To get a better handle on this debate I enlisted the help of two fellow pistoleros: Sean Murphy, a USPSA Grand Master, and Outdoor Life staff writer Tyler Freel, who by virtue of living in Alaska hunts bears every year. We conducted a live-fire experiment at Gunsite Academy in the form of a simple, but challenging drill. The three of us shot an array of five knockdown steel poppers from far to near to simulate a bear charge. The farthest target was in the center and then we zig-zagged from far left to far right and then to near left and near right to add in erratic motion and increase the stress level. The farthest target was approximately 20 yards away and the closest were about 12 yards downrange. Watch the video above to see the drill for yourself.

Trophy hunting: why a UK import ban threatens wildlife conservation Trophy hunting, where animals with characteristics such as large antlers are legally hunted, and their meat usually eaten - is highly contested. While some argue it is unethical and delivers few benefits, others say it provides an important incentive for conserving threatened species and habitats by helping generate revenue for governments and local communities. Restrictions on trophy hunting imports have been imposed in the US, Europe and Australia, while the UK recently announced that it would “ban imports from thousands of species … as part of a wider UK drive on international conservation”. As a professor of wildlife conservation with over 25 years’ field experience, I strongly believe that trophy hunting import bans are driven more by misinformation than the weight of scientific evidence, and risk increasing threats to wildlife and undermining local rights and livelihoods.

Hunting in Brazil: What are the options? Abstract In Brazil most forms of hunting and keeping of wild animals are illegal, although they remain widely practiced and are deeply culturally embedded in many regions. The drivers of such widespread non-compliance are poorly understood and evidence to support future policy decisions is generally lacking. In this paper, we seek to stimulate a critical debate on how to deal with hunting in Brazil by analysing the main factors driving non-compliance with current legislation. This is particularly timely given that several amendments to existing legislation are currently under consideration. Our analysis suggests that, while there are no simple solutions to non-compliance, a targeted suite of the following policy options could improve the monitoring, sustainability and conservation consequences of hunting in Brazil: (i) simplifying the process to become a registered subsistence hunter; (ii) expanding participation in licensing schemes; (iii) inv

🦌 Game Fair France 2025 - A Hunter’s Perspective 🇫🇷 Just got back from the Game Fair 2025 in Lamotte-Beuvron, France - and let me tell you, it was an absolute paradise for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts alike. The atmosphere? Electric. The gear? Next-level. The people? Some of the most passionate and knowledgeable folks I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. From handcrafted rifles to beautifully tuned duck calls, every booth had something worth stopping for. I was especially impressed by the innovations in sustainable hunting gear - lighter packs, high-performance camouflage, and some top-notch optics. The live demos and shooting ranges were a great chance to put the latest equipment to the test right on the spot. One of the highlights was connecting with other hunters from across Europe and beyond. We swapped stories, shared techniques, and built friendships around a fire and a good old-fashioned wild game grill-up. Can’t beat that. For anyone in the hunting world, Game Fair Franc

Baboons VS Leopard Kruger National Park visitors witnessed an incredible incident that occurred near a popular picnic spot in the park. In South Africa, a large family of baboons attacked a leopard that decided to grab one of them as prey. The video shows the predator (leopard) walking along the road and then abruptly running up to the unsuspecting baboons. However, one of them, the largest, rushes in response to help his relatives. Due to their numerical advantage and lightning-fast response, the baboons managed to drive away the predatory leopard. Among the "audience" were newlyweds Merv Mersinligil and Victor Shontag, who told the press about what they saw. Merv remembers: "I jokingly told my husband: "Maybe we should warn the baboons about the leopard we just saw. And he laughed." But a moment later, the leopard was ready to spring! The baboon is widespread in Central and Eastern Africa. It lives in steppe and mountainous areas. It feeds on plant (fruits, bulbs, etc.) and anima

The Otterhound: A Hunter's Companion With a Nose for Adventure As a seasoned hunter, I've always valued a good hunting dog by my side. Over the years, I've had the pleasure of working with many breeds, each with its own unique strengths. But today, I want to introduce you to a truly remarkable canine companion: the Otterhound. A Dog With a Purpose The Otterhound, as the name suggests, was originally bred to hunt otters. These aquatic predators were once considered a threat to fish stocks in England, and the Otterhound emerged as a specialist in their pursuit. But don't let the name fool you; the Otterhound is more versatile than you might think.
