Huge Zimbabwe Elephant Killed Legally, Says Wildlife Authority Harare: The hunt that killed one of the biggest elephants seen for years in Zimbabwe was legal, the wildlife authority said today. The Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Authority (ZimParks) said the elephant which was killed last week in the southeastern part of the country had tusks weighing 54 and 55 kilogrammes respectively adding that proceeds from the hunt would go towards wildlife conservation. "On the 7th of October 2015, an adult male elephant was hunted as a trophy by a foreign client through a locally registered safari company in Malipati Safari area," the ZimParks statement said. It said the area was "allocated sustainable quotas and hunting permits for all wildlife species including elephants on annual basis." Malipati is adjacent to Gonarezhou national park and the two game parks hold 11,452 elephants, ZimParks said, dismissing reports that the elephant hunt took place inside the national park.

Whale meat vending machine business continues boom in Japan A new set of whale meat vending machines debuted in Japan this week. Kyodo Senpaku Co., a Japanese whaling operator, unveiled them in the port town of Yokohama, approximately 20 miles from its capital city of Tokyo. This is the third vending machine outlet the company has installed in an effort to promote sales after years of struggling to promote its products due to whale conservationists’ protests. In 2018, Japan put an end to the hunting of the animal in the Antarctic and resumed commercial whaling off its coasts. That moved halted the protesters, but the groups still oppose the new machines. “The issue is not the vending machines themselves, but what they may lead to,” Nanami Kurasawa, head of the Iruka & Kujira, or “Dolphin & Whale,” Action Network, explained. Kyodo Senpaku launched three machines at the new space, which is named The Kujira Store, where it peddles delicacies like whale sashimi, whale bacon, whale sk

Hog Hunting with My Trusty CZ Carbine There’s something about stepping into the woods after sunset that gets the blood pumping. Down here in the South, night hunts for wild hogs aren’t just tradition - they’re necessity. These feral beasts tear up crops, damage land, and challenge even the most seasoned outdoorsman. So tonight, just like many before, I headed out under the stars with my faithful hunting partner - my CZ carbine. 🐗 Tracking the Night Menace Wild hogs are no joke. Fast, smart, and aggressive, they test your skill every step of the way. But with the CZ tucked against my shoulder, I feel ready for whatever comes charging through the brush. There’s a reason I swear by this rifle: it’s balanced, reliable, and built for precision. That’s exactly what you need when you’re lining up a shot in pitch black with just a thermal scope for company. 🌾 The Setup Whether it’s the thick pinewoods of Georgia, the mesquite scrub in Texas, or the dense swamps of Florida—every state’s

Ballerina Maya Plisetskaya fishing on the banks of the Moskva River, 1956. Maya Plisetskaya, one of the greatest ballerinas of the 20th century, danced her part in Swan Lake more than 800 times, appearing on stage in this role for 30 years — from 1947 to 1977. In the late 1970s, she headed the Ballet of the Roman Opera and the Spanish ballet company Teatro Lirico Nacional. She has worked with the most prominent choreographers in the world, dancing on all the best ballet stages without exception. For many famous artists, Plisetskaya was a muse. Her grace and beauty inspired Chagall, Petit, Bejar, Cardin. Journalists often pestered her with the question of how she manages to keep her figure for many years. She answered: "No dieting, you need to eat less." Or she'd tell a favorite joke for a change. Future ballerinas and girly girls flock to her, chirping, asking for an autograph. One, bolder, asks the question: "Tell me, how do you manage to stay in this shape?" Plisetskaya teaches:

"Le Lièvre et le Faisan : Une Rencontre dans les Champs de Blé" Dans les champs dorés où le blé ondulait, Un lièvre et un faisan se croisèrent en paix. Le lièvre, agile et vif, bondissait avec ardeur, Tandis que le faisan, majestueux, foulait la terre avec lenteur. "Bonjour, noble faisan, que fais-tu ici, Parmi ces champs de blé si loin de tes abris ?" Demanda le lièvre, curieux et alerte, À son compagnon au plumage vert et clair. Le faisan, d'un ton calme et réfléchi, Répondit au lièvre, avec douceur infinie : "Cher lièvre, je viens ici me ressourcer, Pour goûter à la paix et à la beauté du champ d'été. Dans ces vastes étendues de blé doré, Je trouve la sérénité, loin du tumulte forcé. Chaque brin de blé est un poème de vie, Chaque bruissement de vent, une mélodie infinie." Le lièvre, étonné par ces paroles pleines de sagesse, S'arrêta un instant pour méditer avec finesse. Il comprit alors que la paix ne se trouve pas seulement dans la course, Mais aussi dans la contemplation de la na

The Roadless Rule in the Tongass National Forest is Vital for Both Hunters and Brown Bears There’s a long history of Alaskan hunting guides stepping up to protect the Tongass. In the mid-1980s an old, dying bear hunter named Ralph Young sat in the back of a skiff, squinting through the rain at the ocean and mountains of Southeast Alaska. In the bow, huddled against the wind and rain, sat a teenager named Klas Stolpe. The two would be out for a month or two, until most of the salmon had spawned and the bears had left the streams for the high country. The old man didn’t especially enjoy the kid’s company but, due his to declining health and old age, he needed his help for basic things like getting in and out of the boat. They motored past once pristine bays, where years ago the old man guided legendary hunters like Warren Page and Jack O’Connor. Now, those lands were clear-cut logged. He pointed the skiff toward Admiralty Island, the heart of rainforest grizzly country, and opened the

ORANGE IS A NEW BLACK Stay safe when hunting by following these tips: -Check weather reports before embarking on a hunting trip. -Tell someone where you will be hunting and when you will return. -Be familiar with the area you want to hunt. Bring a map and compass. -Carry a basic survival kit and be prepared for an unexpected overnight stay in the field. The survival kit should contain a rope, a knife, water, waterproof matches, an emergency shelter, and first aid supplies. -Dress properly and be prepared for the worst possible conditions. -Wear hunter orange as your outermost gear so that you are visible to other hunters. Do not wear white or tan during deer season. -Always treat your weapon as if it is loaded, even if it isn't, and know where your hunter partners are located at all times. -If accompanied by a dog, the dog should also wear hunter orange or a very visible color on a vest, leash, coat or bandana. Check the state regulations to determine if a dog is allowed on a hunt. -

How to Stalk a Black Bear It was a lazy October day, remarkable only in that I was outside and away from my desk with the forest an utter cornucopia of hunting possibilities. I was bowhunting tassel-eared squirrels with my good friends Dave Faiello and Pat Keith in New Mexico’s northern Gila National Forest. Essentially, it was an excuse to sit around campfires in the evenings with good company while also hunting something during daylight hours. And while western squirrel hunting doesn’t approach the allure of more glamorous big-game, it’s always an action-packed, enjoyable endeavor and nothing to get snooty about. It was nearly lunchtime, and I was just a couple bushytails away from a limit. I was slipping along a ridgeline with a recurve bow holding a quiver full of small-game heads, looking for the telltale flicker of a puffy tail in the pines or a bouncing rodent atop the acorn-laden understory. In the back of my mind, there was also the long shot of something else. That somethin

According to the web page for Cybertruck, production on the vehicle is expected to start next year.

Helicopter Hog Hunting in Texas: A Once-in-a-Lifetime Adventure In the heart of Texas, where the horizon stretches endlessly and the land is as wild as the game that roams it, a new breed of hunting experience is taking flight—literally. Helicopter hog hunting has become one of the most thrilling and effective ways to combat one of America’s most destructive invasive species: the feral hog. Recently, French huntress and outdoor influencer @johannaclermont took to the skies with @chasseautexas_com, capturing the essence of this adrenaline-fueled adventure. Her words say it all: “Just like in France, wild boars wreak havoc on farmland, but in the United States, the scale is staggering: over $2.5 billion in damage each year. In a country this vast, managing their population sometimes means taking to the skies.” 🐗 The Wild Boar Crisis in the U.S. Feral hogs—also known as wild boars—are not just a nuisance; they’re a national problem. With an estimated population exceeding 6 million, t

Scheme to protect hen harriers in England a waste of money, says wildlife group Wild Justice says government initiative to relocate broods away from grouse moors ‘rewards past crimes’ of illegal killing A £900,000 government scheme to “meddle” with nests of hen harriers is a waste of money and rewards those who kill them, a wildlife campaign group has said. The claims are contained in a report produced by Wild Justice and released to coincide with the Glorious Twelfth, the official start of the grouse shooting season, on Saturday. Grouse moor gamekeepers have historically killed hen harriers illegally because they eat smaller birds, including grouse. Since the start of a government brood management scheme in 2018, 98 hen harriers have been confirmed as missingin suspicious circumstances or are known to have been illegally killed in the UK, many of them on or close to English grouse moors. In order to combat the problem of the birds, which are endangered in the UK, continually going

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. Both changes will take place along the western and southern borders of Manitoba. “Additional longer-term measures are needed to prevent any further spread,” said Maria Arlt of the province’s Natural Resources and Northern Development Branch. “If CWD spreads, it can become one of the greatest threats to population

A new app aims to help save critically endangered sea turtles Artificial intelligence can spot illicit tortoiseshell with greater ease—a new frontier in the fight against the the illegal wildlife trade. With its durability and transfixing swirl of translucent amber and brown layers, tortoiseshell has been used for centuries to make everything from jewelry to combs to dishware. “It was plastic before plastic was invented because it’s so malleable,” says Brad Nahill, co-founder and president of turtle conservation group SEE Turtles and a National Geographic Explorer. Named SEE Shell, the app uses machine learning to identify with 94 percent accuracy whether a photo of something with a tortoiseshell pattern is real or faux. It’s the first mobile app to use computer vision to combat the illegal wildlife trade, according to Alexander Robillard, a predoctoral fellow with the Smithsonian’s Data Science Lab who built the computer model that powers it, and it will help inform conservation-m

The Right Way to Clean and Store Your Hunting Rifle Properly caring for your deer gun’s barrel and action ensures it’ll be ready to go again next fall Deer season is over, and now is the perfect time to give your rifle a thorough annual cleaning. Store your gun in a secure and rust-free environment and it will be in good working order when you break it out for a range session in a few months. Gun-Cleaning Gear To do the job right, you need to secure your rifle horizontally in a vise. A vise attached to a workbench at your house will work fine. Or you can purchase a portable gun vise from a company that specializes in firearms-cleaning accessories. Spend $40 or more for a universal gun-cleaning kit, which will include a three-piece bore rod and an assortment of jags, brushes, patches, and other accessories for cleaning not only your bolt-action, but also other handguns and long guns that you own. Also, and this is important, purchase a bore guide, which will protect the bore and action

4 Ways to Manage Buck Fever “Buck fever” is a real thing, and for some hunters it becomes a terrible monster. Just last fall I watched as one of my hunting buddies unraveled at the seams while trying to shoot a mature Coues whitetail. Despite having a stable shooting position and plenty of time, the hunter simply couldn’t execute a precise shot. Adrenaline, doubt and emotion combined to make a steady hold and calm trigger squeeze as elusive as the legendary Loch Ness monster. Adrenaline, when it hits our system, gives us extra strength and energy to combat dangerous situations or attackers, or lift cars off babies, or run and swim faster than we’re usually capable of. It also makes our heart race, our limbs tremble and our vision blur. These conditions make good shooting extremely difficult. Once we’ve missed a shot these problems rapidly escalate, because fear that the buck or bull we’re shooting at will escape sends another big adrenaline dump. Frustration and anger jump into the me

Russian hunter and a red deer. Hand-to-hand combat… Many so-called animal defenders, after watching this video, would start to panic. "A bloodthirsty hunter mocks and torments a kind deer." But only hunters and real experts in the field of fauna will be able to really understand what is happening on the video: None of the 3 hunters present are trying to shoot the deer. One hunter is trying to defend himself, and the hunter in white wants to scare the deer. The third one films the fight between a deer and a hunter on video and is very amused by what is happening. It is obvious that the deer is in the rut, it has a mating season. At this time, they are very aggressive and, under the influence of hormones, attack everything they see. And the hunters, apparently, do not have the appropriate license to kill deer, and they do not want to break the law, they are just trying to protect themselves. During the rut period, which is the mating season for deer, male deer (bucks) can become high
