Barnes Bullets - News 209

We don't usually think of moose hunting as the kind of hunting when we need to do a lot of glassing. While standing in a good spot and calling can be successful, my favoured approach is to use optics to locate bulls. Once I have identified a good one, I plan a stalk and get close enough to begin calling. You can see in these images how the team was all glassing. We knew there was a bull out there, but the terrain provided a lot of cover and it wasn't easy to locate him. Once we located him and his cows, we took our bearings and crossed the lake to stalk. Within a short time, we had our bull down. #BBD (big bull down).

Explore Tasman hunting regions: a blend of beauty and adventure, seasonal hunting schedules and hunter demographics Terrain and natural properties of the region that inspire hunting From the mountain ranges of Kahurangi National Park to the Motueka and Buller river valleys, the Tasman region is renowned for its contrasting landscapes. Mountain ranges with elevations of up to 1800 metres provide ideal conditions for hunting ungulates, while dense forests and alpine meadows provide camouflage and surveillance. A significant part of the territory (about 30 per cent) belongs to protected areas, which guarantees the preservation of ecosystems. The climate is temperate, with warm summers (up to +25°C) and mild winters (up to +5°C), which allows hunting all year round, taking into account seasonal restrictions. Hunter demographics in Tasman According to the 2023 Department of Conservation (DOC) data, there are approximately 1,200 active hunters registered in the region , of which 70% are lo

Vidra je zelo lepa žival, ki spada v družino podlasic. Za lovce je zelo zanimiva, še posebej njeno krzno, ki se odlikuje po številnih dragocenih lastnostih. Je močan, trpežen, ima visoko sposobnost zadrževanja toplote in ga odlikuje prijeten odtenek barve ter tekstura kože. Vidre praviloma živijo v bližini čistih gozdnih jezer, rek in potokov.

Hunting Seasons in Canada's PEACE RIVER Region: Opening & Closing Dates, License Requirements and Must-Know Regulations The Peace River district in northern Alberta offers some of Canada's most rewarding hunting experiences, where vast wilderness areas teem with moose, deer, bears and waterfowl. For hunters planning an expedition to this region, understanding the local seasons, regulations and hunting conditions is crucial for both success and compliance with conservation laws. Seasonal Hunting Calendar and Regional Specifics in Peace River region Peace River's hunting seasons follow Alberta's provincial framework but account for northern ecological patterns. The area's long winters and short summers create compressed hunting windows, particularly for big game. Moose seasons typically run September through November, coinciding with the rut - prime time for calling bulls. Deer hunters get opportunities from early September (archery) through late November (rifle), with the mid-Novem

Hunting in Omusati Region: Hunting terrain, game species, seasons, methods, hunter demographics, legal requirements, associations, traditions, areas, facts, conservation impact Geography and hunting terrain The Omusati Region in northern Namibia is characterized by its flat, sandy plains interspersed with mopane woodlands and seasonal oshanas (shallow wetlands). Bordering the Etosha National Park to the east, the region benefits from wildlife migration corridors that enhance its hunting opportunities. However, hunters face challenges posed by the thick thornbush vegetation, which limits visibility, and the scarcity of natural water sources, which concentrates game during the dry season. Available game species in Omusati region The region offers a diverse range of game species, catering to both experienced and novice hunters. Greater kudu, known for record bulls over 50 inches taken near Ogongo, and the light-colored "Namibian variant" of red hartebeest are among the primary trophy

CPW RESCUE TIRE-BOUND ELK After a couple years of living life with a tire stuck around its neck, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) were able to finally tranquilize the bull elk and free it of the object. Last weekend, during CPW’s fourth attempt at capturing the animal, officers were able to cut the animal’s five-point antlers and remove the heavy, old tire, the Denver Post reports. “It was tight removing it,” said Scott Murdoch. “It was not easy for sure, we had to move it just right to get it off because we weren’t able to cut the steel in the bead of the tire. Fortunately, the bull’s neck still had a little room to move. We would have preferred to cut the tire and leave the antlers for his rutting activity, but the situation was dynamic and we had to just get the tire off in any way possible.” Murdoch and fellow CPW officer Dawson Swanson responded to the report of the elk by a resident last Saturday. The animal was on private property off of County Road 126 about a mile south of

Remington Model Seven When I worked behind a gun counter, probably I sold more Model Sevens than all of my colleagues combined. The Model Seven is essentially a shortened 700 action that maintains virtually all of its virtues. These little rifles prove that you don’t need a magnum-length barrel to have an effective hunting rifle. Compact, relatively light and portable, these rifles are just the ticket for hunting from tree stands, in timber or in thick brush. Though Model Sevens were chambered in everything from the 17 Remington to the 300 SAUM over the years, examples in .260, 6.5 Creedmoor and 7mm-08 are my personal favorites, particularly for whitetails..

Blaser R93 This is an unconventional design that could only come from Germany. The Blaser’s straight-pull bolt action is a marvel of Teutonic engineering, designed for extremely rapid shooting on driven game. The beauty of this rifle, though, is its versatility. Simply by swapping a few components, the R93 can be chambered for any cartridge ranging from .22 LR to .500 Jeffrey. A small take-down case can house the rifle along with an extra barrel or two, creating an incredibly versatile and convenient package for the international hunter. The R93 was replaced with the newer R8 a few years back, but remains a favorite for many.

Tips for beginners. What caliber should I start with? Many experts recommend starting with the twelfth, because it releases a lot of fractions to hit a moving target, but does not spoil the trophy qualities of the prey. Over time, it is recommended to reduce the caliber. In a couple of years, replace your weapon with a lighter one. This will save a lot of money on consumables (gunpowder, shot). Remember that the right barrel, as a rule, is "pay", that is, it scatters the fraction over the area, and the left "choke" gives a more hefty shot. That is, from a close distance it is necessary to press the trigger that is closer to the butt.

“Ever since I was a kid, an Alaskan moose hunt has been at the top of my list. And, this season, it was finally here. We were dropped deep into in the Brooks Range and quickly found ourselves chasing rutting bulls through the tundra swamps, tussocks, and ridge lines. After about a week and a handful of incredible encounters, we were hit with a days-long September snow storm. The sudden weather shift also called for a change in our tactics; we began to hunt bull moose more like a Midwest whitetail. Setting up along an obvious trail—that move proved to be the best decision we made on the entire trip. As we waited to fly the meat out, we glassed up a large grizzly—a bonus opportunity after an already successful hunt. We put a plan for a stalk in place and with luck still on our side, it all came together. There are no words to describe a hunt like this other than, once-in-a-lifetime.” - Mathews own’ Jeff Ozanne #MathewsLIFTX #mathews

There's magic in the air. The first frosts of the year greet us each morning, and the tops of the highest peaks are dusted with snow. The colours are changing, and the Yukon's landscape is something to behold. It's moose hunting season, and I'm excited. What you'll see in these images is how tall the buckbrush in the valley is. You will have a few challenges if you want to stand in here and hunt moose. If you're lucky, the brush will make it impossible to see any bulls or cows further than a few hundred yards. Taking a shot? It's almost impossible unless the bull comes in hot to your call. I much prefer getting up on the hillsides around the valley where I can call effectively and glass massive areas. You can see one image of my father with the bull he shot. While we were down in the valley, we found a small hill to shoot from, and it gave use a fantastic shooting angle above the brush.

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

5 SURPRISING FACTS ABOUT ELK ANTLERS 1. ELK ANTLER RETENTION IS TESTOSTERONE-DRIVEN Elk antlers begin to form immediately after the last set is shed. Because elk antler grows faster than any other tissue in its body, a healthy bull can grow nearly one inch of antler every single day, leaving them with a fully formed set of antlers within the next few months. In many cases, disputes with predators or other bulls will cause these antlers to break off, but they’ll actually shed on their own if left undamaged. Why? Because an elk’s ability to retain its antlers is driven by its testosterone levels. After mating season ends, the level of doe pheromones in the air decreases, causing bull testosterone to drop as well. Once a bull loses enough testosterone, its body will pick up on the change and begin to shed its antlers in response. 2. DIFFERENT ELK POPULATIONS HAVE UNIQUE ANTLERS There are many subspecies of elk, and at least six variants live in North America. Over time and multiple gene

Elk Hunting on Your Own Most attempts at DIY bulls fail miserably, but these experts are here to help Nearly every big game hunter dreams of elk hunting out West, but most of the time, that dream is not a reality. Most first-time, out-of-state elk hunters go in unprepared, and then go home without an elk. That’s why we polled these three DIY elk hunting experts for their advice. Think of Yourself Bill Vanderheyden of Iron Will Broadheads, knows the elk woods well. The first thing the out-of-stater thinks about when planning for an elk hunt is being in physical shape, and that’s important. But if you live near sea level, nothing can prepare your body for the change in elevation except for time. Vanderheyden sees it every year. “The altitude can really take it away from you at first. It can reduce your ability for critical thinking and physically drain you for the first few days,” he says. “I’ve seen people come out here and have to turn around and leave because they felt so bad.

We had spent a lot of time behind the glass learning all of the bulls in the area. The old bull we had nicknamed Dinosaur, was one that stood out for his age, distinct bugle and incredible mass. He was an old warrior. The thought that I would be placing my hands on Dinosaur as my personal bull never crossed my mind. I would have been happy with any legal bull I was given the opportunity on. I was surrounded by some of my favorite people in the entire world and this hunt/bull/opportunity would have never been possible without them. Huge thank you to Josh and Laci Martolgio.

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.
