Fury as Victoria moves not to ban duck hunting despite inquiry recommendation Animal rights activists and politicians have slammed the Victorian government's decision to keep duck hunting legal, despite an inquiry recommending a ban on the controversial practice. The government today announced it would not ban hunting of duck species in Victoria despite a long-standing push to end the practice. Animal rights activists have labelled the decision inhumane, arguing that some species were under enormous pressure, while others were endangered. Victorian Environment Minister Steve Dimopoulos confirmed the controversial decision today. "There are a diversity of views on this within the Victorian community and we've tried to listen to all of them," Dimopoulos said. "We accept that duck hunting is a legitimate activity that many thousands of Victorians enjoy and we want to make it safe, responsible and sustainable." The government plans to make changes to hunting laws to reduce the effects

Labour accuses Government of being ‘complicit’ in trophy trade Delays to the Hunting Trophies (Import Prohibition) Bill have led to accusations that Conservative peers are slowing the Bill intentionally. Labour has accused the Government of being “complicit” in trophy hunting after a bill that would see imports banned in the UK became tied up in the House of Lords. Commons leader Penny Mourdaunt has insisted that MPs will get another chance to debate the Hunting Trophies (Import Prohibition) Bill, though more Parliamentary time will have to be allocated. Opposition politicians accused Conservative peers of filibustering and trying to prevent the Bill from becoming law. Added amendments were branded last week as “death by a thousand cuts” in Parliament, with 62 being added separately. Those making changes have denied trying to “kill the Bill”, instead insisting they want to improve it. Labour is urging the Government to stop “dither and delaying” and revive the Bill’s chances of

My beloved pony of 10 years is 25 this year and has been having some physical changes recently: new dx of Cushing's, EMS, IR and laminitis. (We have a specialist vet and farrier on our team.) I have been spending lots of time on the ground with her and going on walks together, and I want to learn something new with her to keep her mind engaged and strengthen our bond. I'm not sure if/when I will be able to ride her again but I want to keep her life enriched as long as she can move around and is not in pain. I'd love some liberty lessons and connections to any resources (clinics, books, online programs, facebook groups, etc) to learn about this type of horsemanship. I am located in Santa Rosa, CA if you know of any trainers in that area. Please message me or comment here incase this post can help any other beginners! Thank you, have a beautiful day 🙂

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

Fishing in Sweden Fishing in Sweden in its 100,000 lakes, wild waterways and along the coast is a trip of a lifetime. Come hook a salmon, trout or Arctic char. Sweden’s biggest lake is Lake Vänern (south west) at around 5,600 square kilometres surface area. It’s so big it has its own weather system, and an archipelago of some 20,000 islands. If you’re thinking that this creates fantastic angling possibilities you’d be right; you can go trolling for landlocked salmon and trout, pike and zander. Southern Sweden features mostly lowland lakes holding pike, zander and perch and coarse species. As you travel northwards, the landscape changes; more rugged, hilly and forest carpeted with thousands of lakes holding pike, perch and carp in the far south, as well as brown trout, grayling and zander. As you approach the tree line in northern Sweden, where the giant spruce forests end, Arctic tundra, meadows, glaciers and towering mountain peaks take over. Up here the lakes are full of brown tr

New clues may explain the mysterious origins of the Falklands wolf Charcoal, bones, and tools suggest Indigenous seafarers inhabited the Falklands. It’s possible they may have brought their canine companions along. When Charles Darwin arrived at the Falkland Islands in 1833, the lone mammal he saw wandering its desolate shores was an odd fox-like creature. Darwin and other European settlers assumed that the Falklands, also known as Islas Malvinas and located several hundred miles east of the Argentina coastline, were uninhabited. There were no settlements and no people who could have ferried the enigmatic Falkland fox, also called the warrah, to this cold, scrubby archipelago. The warrah, they decided, must have made its own way across the sea. Scientists later hypothesized the foxes could have made it there by rafting on debris or hopping across ice floes during the last Ice Age. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/falkland-islands-wolf-fox-origin-people But a new

Controversial spring bear hunt up for debate in Washington The Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission will hear a report Friday on potential changes to the 2022 spring bear hunt season. However, several conservation groups said special permits to hunt black bears in the spring should not be issued at all. The groups said the hunts cruelly kill bears just as they’ve emerged from hibernation with cubs in tow. “There's a reason why we don't hunt any other species during the spring – other than turkeys – because spring is an important time for all species in which they're recovering from the winter,” said Claire Loebs Davis, board president, Washington Wildlife First, a conservation group. After hibernation, Loebs Davis said, bears are on the verge of starvation, making the bears sluggish, slow and easy to kill. “Starvation is forcing them into clearings and in areas where the only food is available – where they are easy for hunters to find and shoot,” she said.

Hunting in Littoral, Cameroon: Navigate Mangroves, Coastal Forests, and Vanishing Traditions Amidst Urban Growth and Ecological Change Coastal diversity, lowland forests, and shrinking wild zones The Littoral Region, anchored by the port city of Douala, is Cameroon’s economic epicenter — but beyond its industrial pulse lies a world of dense coastal forests, mangroves, and freshwater swamps. This narrow stretch of territory, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and dissected by the Wouri River, once teemed with wildlife and sustained generations of forest-edge hunters. Littoral’s terrain features swampy lowlands, thick tropical vegetation, and estuarine ecosystems that provide crucial habitat for amphibians, birds, and smaller forest game. However, rapid urban expansion, logging, and pollution have dramatically reduced natural hunting areas, making surviving pockets even more culturally and ecologically significant.

2100 kilometers in three days, a couple late nights and busy talking to people and giving presentations at the Parkland Outdoor Show & Expo could wear a person out but the energy at this show kept us so energized. It was really humbling talking to people there that said they'd driven all the way from Manitoba or distant locations in Saskatchewan just to meet us. The only downside to to the show was that virtually everyone that we chatted with had a picture of a bigger deer on their phone than TJ has ever taken ;) It was pretty cool spending time with several of the top TV show hosts and outdoor personalities in Canada.

THE GREATEST BOWHUNTER I EVER KNEW was born 121 years ago today. We shook hands for the first time in 1972 at the Pope and Young Club Convention and Awards Banquet in Denver, and our paths crossed frequently thereafter until his death in 1988. And like millions of other archers and bowhunters of that era, I was a big Fred Bear fan and longtime supporter of the legendary man in the Borsalino hat. Special personal memories include visits to the Bear Archery plant and Fred Bear Museum in Grayling, Michigan, before the company's production facility relocated to Florida; the annual Anderson Archery clinics and seminar stage we shared each June in front of large and appreciative crowds in Grand Ledge; and his final appearance at the P&Y gathering in Tulsa when we said our goodbyes one last time the year before his passing. Still, I'm eternally thankful that I could work with Pope and Young founder Glenn St. Charles, Papa Bear, and other club officers as Editor of the very first P&Y record

The rise of the German Empire under Prussian leadership was in full swing during the mid 1800’s. For the first time, the army, which up to this time had been made up chiefly of the Prussian aristocracy and peasantry, was opened up to the middle class. This, combined with sweeping economic and political changes occurring throughout Europe, led to a rise in the status of the middle class within the Empire. With this rise came increased privileges regarding land ownership and hunting. In previous centuries, it was usually only the kings, prices and nobles who had the right to hunt, and they owned vast tracks of land for this purpose. However, as the wealth of middle-class Prussia grew during the 1800’s, merchants, professionals, and other middle-class citizens were able to purchase or lease land for themselves on which, of course, they could hunt.

Your older hunting dog might not share the same feelings. Ways to introduce your adult dog to the new pup in your life follow here. Short, Positive Interactions Your adult dog has learned plenty in your time together. It's the pup that needs some schooling. Dogs of course have instinctive ways of sorting out the pecking order. An older canine has earned territorial rights over your home, yard, truck and where you exercise (and hunt) this dog. Enter the puppy. S/he has no rules and is full of endless energy. The older dog is set in his or her ways. A hard-charging, wildly running pup changes this. Read their body language as they interact. The older dog will likely growl when the pup pushes things too far. Slowly, surely, the young dog should get the message, and show increasing respect for its elder. You've introduced this

Hunting in Kabale: Geography and Natural Features, Hunting Demographics, and Game Species Diversity The first light in Kabale doesn't so much rise as it seeps through the mountain mists, slowly revealing a landscape that looks more like the Scottish Highlands than equatorial Africa. Somewhere in those damp hills, a bushbuck barks its alarm call—a sound that carries for miles in the crisp mountain air. This is hunting at elevation, where every step feels heavier, every shot more calculated, and the rewards are trophies forged in the crucible of altitude. The Roof of Uganda: Kabale’s Vertical Hunting Grounds Kabale’s terrain defies typical African hunting stereotypes. Here, the rules change: Bamboo Forests (2,500m+): Where giant forest hogs move like shadows through the fog Montane Meadows: Open slopes patrolled by solitary bushbuck rams with horns like scimitars Crater Lakes: Their steep walls create natural shooting galleries for waterfowl Volcanic Fissures: Hideouts for leopards t

Blaser R93 with Three Barrels: .223 Rem, .30-06 Sprg, and 9.3x62 Review The Blaser R93 is a remarkable combination of versatility, precision, and modern firearm technology, making it a favored choice among many hunters and shooting enthusiasts. Having had the opportunity to use this rifle with three different barrels (.223 Rem, .30-06 Sprg, and 9.3x62), I would like to share my experience and thoughts on its performance, design, and handling.

A Navajo Indian in a bear suit, 1914. Navajo Indians donned a bear suit during a ceremonial ritual, embodying the spirit of the revered animal. For the Navajo, the bear symbolizes strength, healing, and protection. By wearing the bear suit—crafted from fur, claws, and adorned with sacred symbols—the individual sought to channel the bear's powerful essence. This act was more than mere costume; it was a profound connection to their cultural heritage and spiritual beliefs. Through this ritual, the Navajo honored the natural world and invoked the bear’s strength for guidance and safeguarding their community. In an era marked by change, this tradition reinforced their identity and reverence for ancient customs. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Navajo Indians faced significant challenges and transformations.

What are sacred forests? Sacred forests and groves are primeval woodlands that different faith communities around the world have safeguarded for centuries as abodes of the spiritual or the divine. Thousands of sacred forests have survived. They're the church forests in Ethiopia's highlands, hillside groves considered holy by Catholics in Italy, woodlands revered by Shinto practitioners in Japan and Indigenous people in Siberia, Australia, the Americas and India. Sacred forests are also treasure troves of biodiversity and are often the last bastion for species of flora and fauna that have become rare or even extinct elsewhere in those regions. Climate change, pollution and urbanization pose threats to these sacred spaces. Tended for generations by faithful caretakers, environmentalists and governments are now making a push to protect these areas as well. Why are forests sacred? In many parts of the world, small groves or larger forests have been preserved because the local people c

Maine and Massachusetts could soon see bans lifted on Sunday hunting In the US, there are 40 states that have no prohibitions on hunting on Sundays Some states are steadily chipping away at longstanding bans on Sunday hunting, and there's a push to overturn the laws in Maine and Massachusetts, the final two states with full bans. Maine’s highest court is considering a lawsuit asking whether the state's 19th century law, which prevents hunting big game animals such as deer, moose and turkeys on Sundays, is still necessary. In Massachusetts, where hunters are also lobbying for Sunday hunting rights, there is a renewed effort to change state laws forbidding the practice. Forty states have no prohibitions on hunting on Sundays. The bans stem from so-called "blue laws" that also regulate which businesses can remain open and where alcohol can be sold on Sundays. Animal welfare groups, conservation organizations and others are rallying to defend the prohibitions, but the end of the laws

Unsustainable Logging, Fishing, Hunting Are the Main Factors of Extinction Crisis An unprecedented global extinction crisis is now threatening our planet. More than a million species are expected to go extinct in the next few decades, according to scientists. A groundbreaking analysis found that one in five people worldwide depends on wild animals, plants, and fungi for their food and means of subsistence. However, the report found that many undomesticated animals are not being collected responsibly, endangering global food security. Experts predicted that one million species of animals and plants could become extinct in the ensuing decades in 2019, and uncontrolled fishing, hunting, and logging are responsible for a large portion of this, as per BBC News. The sustainable usage of wild species is now deemed essential for both people and nature in a new report by the same organization. Additionally, more species may be pushed to the limit because of climate change and rising deman
