Hunting in the Kalahari: Geography, Hunting Characteristics, and Trophy Quality in South Africa’s Red Desert Wilderness Geography features in the Kalahari The Kalahari Desert in the Northern Cape of South Africa is a vast semi-arid region of red sand dunes, acacia thornveld, and camelthorn groves, interspersed with salt pans and dry riverbeds. Though technically a desert, the Kalahari supports a rich array of wildlife due to its seasonal grasses and hardy vegetation. With expansive vistas and uninterrupted silence, it offers one of the most dramatic backdrops for fair-chase hunting in Africa. The terrain is generally open, with gentle undulations, making it ideal for glassing and long-range spot-and-stalk hunting. Hunting Demography The Kalahari appeals to experienced international hunters seeking adventure-style safaris in remote, high-challenge environments. Most hunters come from the United States and Europe, attracted by the opportunity to hunt free-range gemsbok and pursue larPost: 29 July 19:06

Dolžina telesa je približno 40-45 cm, samica je nekoliko manjša od samca. Teža od pol kilograma do kilograma. Posebnost pastirskega reda je značilna črno-siva barva in lisa gole kože na čelu. Od tod tudi ime ptic. Ptica običajno gnezdi v bližini vodnih teles. Lovci naj upoštevajo okretno plavanje po vodi, ki je za red velikosti boljše od gibanja po zraku (v primerjavi z drugimi vodnimi pticami). Najboljši trenutek za strel je vzlet, ko liska močno pospeši in poskuša precej močno vzleteti, pred tem pa preteče veliko pot skozi vodo in zamahne s krili.Post: 9 August 14:59

Later history The Franks and other Teutonic peoples were fond of falconry and the chase, and in later centuries both the laity and the clergy were warned by provincial councils against spending so much time and money on hounds, hawks, and falcons. Originally, among the northern nations all could hunt except slaves, who were forbidden to bear arms. The idea of game preservation arose in feudal times when the right to hunt became attached to the ownership of land. Because of their hereditary claim to the title Lord High Masters of the Chase for the Holy Roman Empire, the electors of Saxony enjoyed exceptional opportunities to hunt. Elector John George II of Saxony (reigned 1656–80) shot an astonishing total of 42,649 red deer. He refused the crown of Bohemia not for political reasons but because Bohemian stags were smaller than Saxon ones. To protect his stags, he fenced the boundary between Saxony and Bohemia. An early landgrave of Hesse had a codicil added to the Lord’s Prayer: “Give uPost: 20 September 11:05

🦌 Top Hunting Tips & Tricks for a Successful Season! 🦌 Hey hunters! Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, these tips will help you make the most of your hunting adventures: 1. Know Your Area: Scout your hunting grounds before the season starts. Look for signs of animal activity and plan your spots accordingly. 2. Play the Wind: Always hunt with the wind in your favor to avoid being detected by your scent. 3. Stay Quiet: Move slowly and quietly. Animals have keen senses and can detect even the slightest noise. 4. Use the Right Gear: Make sure your equipment is in top shape. Practice with your bow or rifle to ensure accuracy. 5. Scent Control: Use scent-free soaps and sprays to minimize your scent. Deer have an incredible sense of smell! 6. Be Patient: Hunting requires patience.

Five Top Tips to Improve Low Light Hunting Illuminated Reticles One of the most popular simple solutions to low light hunting is to buy a riflescope with an illuminated reticle, whereby a light source is directed onto the aim points of the reticle, highlighting the reticle in red, green or blue. The illumination is variable and this allows the shooter to increase the brightness of the reticle to suit the shooting conditions. Hawke Optics have several illuminated riflescopes with illumination control and options of red, green or blue to suit the shooters preference. Illuminated reticles are most useful at dawn or dusk, after this time it is better to illuminate the target with an external light source. View the entire collection of Hawke Reticles. Laser Sights For those countries that allow hunting with a laser one of the tried and tested methods for seeing the point of aim in low light conditions is to fit a laser pointer to a rifle. The most common method of using a laser is toPost: 26 October 22:53
