Belovezhskaya Pushcha, 1971. In the 1970s, Belovezhskaya Pushcha—known in Polish as Białowieża Forest—was one of Europe’s last and largest remaining tracts of primeval lowland forest, straddling the border between the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic (part of the USSR) and the Polish People's Republic. This ancient woodland, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, was a sanctuary for Europe’s most iconic wildlife, including several species of deer that played a vital role in the ecosystem and cultural life of the region. During the 1970s, the forest was under strict state protection on both sides of the border, though management approaches differed. In the Soviet sector (Belarus), the forest was managed as a state reserve and forestry zone, while in Poland, the core area was a national park with limited human intervention. Despite Cold War divisions, scientific cooperation and conservation efforts continued, particularly regarding large mammals, including deer. Ecology and Be

Pennsylvania Will Finally Allow Limited Sunday Deer Hunting. Pennsylvania deer hunters have reason to celebrate after lawmakers have done away with a “blue law,” which prohibited hunting on Sundays in the Keystone State for more than 100 years. Gov. Tom Wolf is expected to sign the law, which will allow hunters to hunt one Sunday during rifle season, one Sunday during archery season, and one Sunday to be determined by the Pennsylvania Game Commission. The law also requires hunters to have written permission to hunt private land on Sunday (oral permission is fine on the other six days of the week.) Of course, it’s still up to private landowners to decide whether to allow hunting on their property. Sunday deer hunting has been illegal in Pennsylvania since the 1800s, although there are exceptions for coyotes, foxes, crows and non-commercial game preserves. Blue laws date back to a time when lawmakers thought it was appropriate to encourage people to attend church on Sunday instead of

Wolf season shuts down early in southwestern Montana Too many Yellowstone wolves have been trapped or killed by hunters during Montana’s wolf season, resulting in a call by wildlife commissioners to shut the season down early in the southwestern portion of the state. To date, 76 wolves have been reported killed. Once that number hits 82, hunting and trapping will be over for the area this season, according to the Associated Press. In December, Superintendent Cam Sholly asked commissioners to suspend hunting in areas along the park’s borders, stating that “park wolves spend only 5% of their time outside the park.” So far, 23 wolves from Yellowstone packs have been killed – 18 in Montana, three in Wyoming and two in Idaho – sparking park officials to worry that it could mark “a significant setback for the long-term viability” of these packs. Currently, there are only 91 wolves within the park borders, according to spokesperson Morgan Warthin. As goHUNT previously reported, the state

The order suspended the state’s regulations, which allowed for expanded wolf hunting and trapping. On Monday, Abbott heard testimony regarding the issue. He said he would decide today whether the temporary limits placed on wolf hunting should continue or if the quotas and hunting methods “pending a trial over changes in the way the state estimates the size of the wolf population” to inform hunting quotas should continue, according to the Associated Press.

Hunting the Snowshoe Hare It’s hard to imagine a winter day spent more pleasantly than stalking through Alaska’s taiga hunting the snowshoe hare. There’s not a better reason to explore the reaches of our well-forested state, and there’s not an animal that’s better-suited to live there. Some days you find them, some days you don’t. To me this dichotomy represents the greatest draw of hunting hares: They’re routinely elusive but occasionally attainable, at once an animal that children’s hunting dreams are made of yet still wholly capable of making even the wisest feel like an idiot. I hunt hares exclusively with a rimfire rifle equipped with open sights. Yes, beagles and shotguns and loyal compatriots would probably be more effective, but I prefer to give the hare his refuges of invisibility and speed. If I can bag him in spite of those advantages, I like to think I’ve surmounted some pinnacle of woodsmanship and truly deserve the added weight in my vest. Or maybe I’m just full of it

Utah closes shed hunting immediately Effective immediately, shed hunting is closed in Utah. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR) announced the statewide emergency closure today in an effort to help deer and other big game across the state. This applies to both public and private land. The closure is in place Feb. 7 through April 30. Extreme cold and high snowpack are impacting deer in particular. Biologists have been monitoring herds across the state, checking on deer condition, body fat levels and fawn weights. To date, they fear that the extreme winter conditions may impact mule deer survival rates and even some adult deer, according to the agency. “In these types of conditions, big game animals are weakened and highly vulnerable to repeated human-caused disturbances,” said J.

New Mexico bans scopes on muzzleloaders Earlier this month, the New Mexico State Game Commission voted to ban the use of scopes on all muzzleloaders beginning the 2023 hunting season. The new ruling specified that muzzleloader hunters are not allowed to use scopes on their muzzleloaders during a hunt, but that scopes are still legal for muzzleloaders during Any Legal Weapon hunts only. Stewart Liley, head biologist for the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish, stated in the meeting with the commission that technology improvements have made muzzleloaders nearly as effective as centerfire rifles. Liley went on to note, “what we’re seeing biologically is that the harvest is going to be unsustainable,”. If you are planning to apply for New Mexico in 2023, please remember to take this new rule change into account.

Dozens of drunk grizzlies hit by trains for decades Drunk grizzly bears have been hit by trains near Glacier National Park in Montana for decades. Spilled grain mixed with moisture from snow and rain equal the perfect concoction to both lure bears and dull their senses. This unfortunate equation means that the bears are too slow to outrun the trains heading their way. Fatalities linked to the fermented grain have been tallied since 1980 with a total of 63 grizzly bears killed along the rail line that stretches over Marias Pass and the Great Bear Wilderness, according to the Cowboy State Daily. This year, three have been killed so far, and, in 2019, which was the worst year on record, eight grizzlies were killed by trains. While two grizzly populations roam the Lower 48, the ones being impacted by trains come from the Northern Continental Divide grizzly population.

The Finnish Wildlife Agency has drafted a guide for foreigners for getting the required permits. In Finland, a hunter must pay the annual Game Management Fee. In addition, hunters must have a hunting permit for the area where they plan to hunt. For some game animals, such as elk, a hunting permit granted by the Finnish Wildlife Agency is required. Game animals may only be hunted in their assigned hunting seasons. Further information is available at The Finnish Wildlife Agency. Permits for hunting are granted by the owner of the land.

A New Jersey bow hunter established a new state record on Tuesday morning by harvesting a 770-pound black bear in Morris County. Brian Melvin shared with NJ Advance Media that he first spotted the enormous bear approximately three years ago and had been tracking it during the last two hunting seasons. He successfully shot the bear from around 45 yards away at approximately 7 a.m. in Kinnelon. “It never lingered in one location for over six months,” noted Melvin, 39, who began bow hunting in his early twenties. “I spent weeks obtaining permission for land where I believed the bear might be or pass through. Last year, I captured it on camera, but it disappeared until May of this year.” State wildlife officials have confirmed that the bear’s dressed weight of 770 pounds is the largest ever recorded during New Jersey's black bear hunt. Melvin remarked that his dedication paid off when he located the bear a month prior to the hunting season. “I tracked him down in a new swamp about a

New initiative targets Colorado mountain lion hunting What will the future of Colorado mountain lion hunting look like? A new petition filed with the Colorado Supreme Court is asking for a proposed ballot to be blocked that would request voters to approve a “statewide ban on hunting mountain lions, bobcats and Canada lynx.” Opponents say that the measure is “misleading” and multiple mistakes were made by the Colorado Secretary of State’s Title Board prior to getting the measure approved for the November 2024 ballot, according to The Colorado Sun. However, last week, a second initiative, Initiative 101, was filed that requests a limit (not ban) to hunting mountain lions, bobcats and lynx in an effort to curb trophy hunting.

Wisconsin wildlife officials won't seek charges against bow hunter who killed cougar

Wisconsin wildlife officials won't seek charges against bow hunter who killed cougar MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin wildlife officials say they won’t seek charges against a bow hunter who killed a cougar. The Department of Natural Resources said in a news release Wednesday that the bow hunter shot the animal in Buffalo County and self-reported the incident to the agency’s violation hotline on Nov. 11. The department said an investigation showed the bow hunter was hunting deer when the hunter encountered the cougar and shot it in self-defense. The department news release does not identify the hunter or the hunter’s gender. Cougar sightings in Wisconsin are rare but have been increasing over the last 20 years. Cougars are native to Wisconsin but were extirpated from the state in the early 1900s. DNR officials say cougars seen in Wisconsin are likely dispersing from established populations in the western United States. Dispersing cougars rarely stay in one location for long and have

Wisconsin Known for cheese, farm fields, big hardwood timber, and the Green Bay Packers, the Badger State is also among the states with the most deer, at least according to Kip Adams, a wildlife biologist and chief conservation officer of the National Deer Association. While Wisconsin doesn’t estimate its deer herd numbers, Jeffrey Pritzl, a wildlife biologist with the Wisconsin DNR, provided some insight. “We don’t generate a statewide deer population,” he said, “because it’s a really big number that doesn’t translate well to the individual hunting experience due to widely varied deer densities. However, it’s safe to say that there are well over a million deer, especially pre-deer season. In our online Deer Metrics System, we provide a graph of the statewide post-hunting season population. Some areas may have 10 deer per square mile, and others have more than 100. Our highest densities are in east-central farmlands.” Even though Ohio, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, and Kentucky get tons of

Your National Rifle Association (NRA) has joined Safari Club International (SCI) and 22 other conservation organizations, representing millions of sportsmen and women across the country, in a letter to Interior Secretary Deb Haaland. These organizations “respectfully request that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) appeal the February 10, 2022, decision from the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California vacating the 2020 rule removing the gray wolf from the Endangered Species Act (ESA) lists of endangered and threatened species.” In early 2020, the Service removed gray wolves in the lower 48 U.S. States from the ESA lists. Of course, anti-hunting groups immediately sued to put wolves back under the ESA. Although these groups acknowledged that some populations of gray wolves have recovered, they sought to force the Service to restore wolves everywhere—from Maine to Washington State. Your NRA, along with SCI, intervened in these suits to defend the Service’s s

Hunting in Bas-Uélé: Geography and Natural Features, Hunting Demographics, and Game Species Diversity Geography and Natural Features in the Bas-Uélé Bas-Uélé, located in the northeastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, is defined by its vast tropical forests, river systems, and undisturbed savanna patches. The region is crisscrossed by tributaries of the Uele River, supporting a lush, biodiverse ecosystem. Dense vegetation, expansive wetlands, and isolated woodlands create ideal habitats for a range of game species, many of which are elusive and rarely encountered in more populated regions. The remoteness of the province adds to its appeal for adventurous hunters seeking an immersive wilderness experience. Demographics Hunting in Bas-Uélé remains primarily subsistence-based, practiced by local communities that rely on wild game for food and cultural practices. The area sees minimal recreational or commercial hunting by outsiders, largely due to limited infrastructure

Ostrich Hunting in the Western Cape: Geography and Natural Features, Hunting Demographics, and Game Species Diversity Geography and Natural Features The Western Cape features diverse terrain—from the arid Karoo plains to gently rolling farmlands and mountainous backdrops. These open spaces are ideal for ostriches, offering the visibility and space they need to evade predators—and hunters. The semi-desert conditions of the Karoo biome, combined with patches of cultivated land, create a productive hunting landscape where ostriches roam freely or semi-wild across private farms and open ranges. Hunting Demographics in the Western Cape Ostrich hunting in the Western Cape appeals to a wide variety of hunters: trophy collectors seeking something unique, plains game enthusiasts adding to a mixed bag, and international visitors intrigued by the novelty of pursuing the world’s largest bird. The region’s accessibility, scenic beauty, and abundance of other game species make it an appealing de

Six Washington wolves were poisoned Six wolves are dead after ingesting poison and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) is offering over $51,000 in rewards for information that leads to a conviction. In February, officials discovered four dead wolves about 65 miles northwest of Spokane, Washington; two more dead wolves were discovered within a month, according to the New York Times. All were members of the Wedge pack in Stevens County. The pack had a reputation for trouble. In July 2020, an adult female was lethally removed after repeat livestock depredation on public and private land and other members were also lethally removed for the same issue. While singular wolves have been poached across the state, the death of six is in a league of its own. “With increased patrols and enforcement presence we are hopeful that this type of illegal activity is not replicated by those responsible for the initial poaching or attempts made by potential copycats,” said WDFW spoke
