Sabatti Saphire .308 Win Carbine Review I recently had the opportunity to test out the Sabatti Saphire .308 Win Carbine, and I wanted to share my experience with this firearm. As a passionate enthusiast and someone who values quality and performance, I found both pros and cons that potential buyers might find insightful.

Police say buzzard shot in Fife suffered agonising death Police are investigating after a protected bird of prey was found shot dead in Fife. The buzzard was discovered by a member of the public in woodland at Mominail, near Ladybank, on the morning of Sunday 9 April. Wildlife crime officers said the bird would have suffered "a lingering and agonising death" after being shot deliberately. Det Con Ben Pacholek called the find "sad and disappointing". He said: "Buzzards are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act and I am appealing to anyone who may have seen anything suspicious in the wooded area to get in touch. "We rely on the public to help us tackle wildlife crime and I urge anyone in the local and wider community to come forward if they have any information about who may have been responsible."

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

First Look: Garmin Xero A1i Pro Bow Sight Are you ready to take the next step in archery technology? Technological advancements in the hunting world continue to make hunters more successful. Jack O’Connor felt that one of the most significant advancements to hunting was the modern riflescope. It would be interesting to hear what Mr. O’Connor would have to say today about modern optics. The optics community has snowballed and includes all aspects of the archery world. Fred Bear shot a 65-pound recurve bow, inspiring generations of archers to take up the sport. Bear’s early videos made hunting with a bow adventurous and appealing. Many archers still embrace the basics and shoot instinctively. However, there are modern advancements that allow archers to be more successful. The advent of the compound bow was a huge step. Moving from brass pins to fiber-optic sights showed a clear advantage—carbon arrows overtook the established aluminum arrow market. Speed ratings for bows continue to c

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

How Do You Start Squirrel Hunting? There are no large requirements that are needed to start hunting squirrels. If you have a strong desire to capture, you may choose the small game rodent as a starting point. They are mainly the best to hunt because they are available in every tree crotch and almost every season, especially the winter. Most states require you to have a license if you want to hunt the rodents legally. The grant is for the small game residents, and squirrels qualify as part of them. You can kill them using an air rifle, shotgun, or shot rifle. To begin your hunting experience, you can make your way to the trees or bushes in the mid-mornings or the late afternoon.

Hunting for a Hare with a Dog: A Day in the Field with ROS the Spaniel Today, my red spaniel ROS showed exceptional skill in tracking a wounded hare. He picked up the scent of the injured animal, chased it down with determination, and finished the job with a clear voice. The emotions I’m feeling right now are overwhelming - not because of the hunt itself, but because of the dog’s incredible work. Thanks to ROS, there’s no wounded animal left suffering in the field. I’m sure many hunters will understand this feeling. While there are breeds that might perform this task even more spectacularly, ROS is my dog, and this was only his second time hunting hare. It’s all part of his training, and I’m proud to share how it went. Here’s how it unfolded: We entered a thicket and emerged into a small clearing. I spotted a hare running along the edge of the field, clearly flushed out by hunters who had gone further ahead. I took a couple of shots through the tall grass, but ROS didn’t see t

RikaNV Team Successes: Wolf Hunting in Belarus Good morning from the RikaNV team! Today we are happy to share with you the impressive results of our wolf hunt in Belarus. While Evgeny Golubev was representing our team at an exhibition in Moscow, our hunters received a signal about a pack of wolves and did not miss the chance. Wolves are one of the most cunning predators, and hunting them requires high training and professionalism. Our team, consisting of experienced hunters, left for the place on the signal. A pack of five wolves approached the hunters almost immediately, which became a real test for our team. Before leaving, we carefully prepared: we studied the habits of wolves, chose the best places for observation and hunting. Teamwork and coordinated actions allowed us to achieve success. Soon we will release a detailed video, where we will show all the stages of the hunt and share our impressions. We are sure that this will be interesting not only for our subscribers, but als

St. Clair County Sheriff shares safety tips for deer firearms season Always tell someone where you are hunting and when you should be expected back home. Wear as much hunter's orange as possible to increase your visibility. Hunter's orange should be worn on the outermost layer of clothes and visible from all directions. For those recreating outdoors near hunting areas, such as hikers, wear orange so you can be seen by hunters. Obey "No Trespassing" signs. Check the forecast and dress for the weather. Carry some type of two-way communication device that receives service in remote areas. Treat every weapon as if it were loaded and do not put your finger on the trigger unless you are prepared to shoot. Check your equipment regularly and keep it well-maintained. Be sure of your target and what is in front of it, immediately behind it, and beyond it. Wear hearing and eye protection − this will help protect your sight and hearing from damage.

The Pacific Eider is arguably the most difficult and dangerous duck to hunt in North America. ⁣ These robust, hearty ducks call the Bering Sea home, and trust me, this place is no joke. Every move has to be thought out and measured against the unknowns and the potential risk. The water is freezing cold and the swell can build from any direction in an instant. The wind and current coupled with jagged cliffs, submerged mountains, volcanoes and the Aleutian Trench that all contribute regularly to building disorganized waves the size of houses, which make the skipper’s job quite literally death defying.⁣ ⁣ We come here to truly live our lives, to hunt, and to gather and our days here are spent in awe.

These days there are very few new products that I would actually call a “game changer.” Many are truthfully nothing more than a twist on an old idea or a slight improvement over something already available. When I first saw the new Primos Double Bull SurroundView hunting blinds at the January trade shows, I instantly said to myself, “game changer.” When I was able to hunt Axis deer in south Texas from one with a rifle in June, my opinion didn’t change. Since then I’ve had one at home and have been playing with it a lot in anticipation of some summer bow hunts. All I can say is, it’s something else. If you’re familiar with Double Bull pop-up blinds, then you need no convincing of their ruggedness and an interior configuration that's design is one that's well thought-out by hunters. My only beef with Double Bull blinds over the years is that, while their hub-and-pole system makes them solid as a rock once erected, putting up and taking the blinds down can be a bit of a challenge until

Spanish style Sometimes trophy hunters want to unwind on a hunt - without overcoming, overexertion and overload. We recommend you the most exciting hunt for 🐔partridge in Spain. 👏 Everyone will be able to shoot a lot and qualitatively, have fun with friends, relax - thereby getting an emotional charge for a long time! Traditionally in 🇪🇸 Spain, a hunt is carried out by driving. The beaters flush the partridges at some distance from the hunters and direct them to the line of shooters. Every day, 4-5 drives are organized with a break for lunch. On average, it is possible to get 500-800 birds per day. ℹ️ During the day, the hunters change places in the order determined by the drawing. Thus, everyone has the opportunity to try their hand both in the center of the line and on its edges. The hunter is joined at the position by assistants: a "cargador" who reloads the weapon, and a "secretario" who adjusts the direction of the shot and keeps count of the birds killed. There are still

Now is the time to remedy all those problems. Available stock on sporting goods always seems to be in short supply just before season.

US hunters catch and shoot dead gigantic 14-foot 'once-in-a-lifetime' alligator A 14-foot "once in a lifetime" alligator has been killed by hunters in the US. Two hunters shot dead the mighty kill - a male weighing an enormous 781lb (345kg) - in the swamps of Texas. In a celebratory Facebook post, Wildlife Management Area official James E Dauhtrey congratulated the hunters on their kill while detailing the beast's specifications. The picture shows the "once-in-a-lifetime gator" lying on the floor with a wooden stick holding open its crushing jaws. In the comments, fellow hunters hailed the "awesome harvest" and "huge" prize. The beast falls just behind the largest alligator ever caught, which was 15.9ft long and seized by an Alabama woman in 2014. Males tend to grow to around 11.2ft long.

10 Classic Hunting Rifles Every Hunter Should Own (Part 3) 8. Remington Model 760 Gamemaster The 760 is a box magazine-fed pump-action with similar looks to Remington’s 870 and 1100 shotgun lines. It began production somewhere around 1952, and naturally became a very popular deer woods rifle. Not a style of rifle that’s commonly associated with Alaska or western-style hunting, the Model 760 is a quick-pointing, quick-shooting bush rifle. It’s great for hunting in thick timber where shot distances are limited, but shots might be fleeting. Model 760 Gamemaster in .30/06 would be a great for bear hunting over bait. 9.
