Due to the lack of electronic control and easy-to-fix nature, the Land Rover has performed well in environments where workshop backup would be unavailable. Repairs can also be carried out with limited resources and limited parts. The Land Rover Wolf was introduced to the Army in 1998 and is still in use today. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/EN2TEpeRhawYaRpv/?mibextid=K35XfP This is splendid news for all Land Rover Defender and Series owners, and for several compelling reasons: 1. The fact that the British Ministry of Defence has chosen to retain these vehicles not only bestows them with prestige but also ensures the continuity of supply chains for parts. And as allo you know, a lot of parts are comoatible with Series too. 2. From an environmental perspective, this is also excellent news. Many of us contend that extending the lifespan of a machine optimises resources and ultimately conserves them. We do not subscribe to the notion that scrapping perfectly functional vehicles to

When it rains, it pours: Bangladesh wildlife trade booms during monsoon The illegal wildlife trade in Bangladesh increases during the wet season due to a shortage of livelihoods and poor surveillance, a study has found. Killing and trading wildlife has been illegal in Bangladesh since 2012, but a culture of hunting means the problem still persists, wildlife officials say. Wildlife markets trade in animals and parts from species such as tigers and crocodiles, with the more lucrative end of the trade thriving in areas with a weak law enforcement presence and close proximity to a seaport or airport. Efforts to tackle the trade are limited by law enforcement restrictions, with the Wildlife Crime Control Unit (WCCU) lacking the authority to arrest suspects and reliant on local agencies for investigations and legal action. DHAKA — It’s the monsoon season in Bangladesh, where the annual rains are both a boon for farmers and a worry for many living in flood-prone areas. For the country’s wild

Could vaccines for animals instead of humans help prevent the next COVID or monkeypox pandemics? How do we vaccinate wildlife? "There are many ways you can go about vaccinating wildlife" Scott Nuisner, a Professor of Biological Sciences and one of the authors of a study on the topic first published in Nature, Ecology & Evolution in 2020, told Euronews Next. "We already do this actually in North America and Europe to control rabies," he explained. "For instance, in North America, we vaccinate raccoons against rabies by dropping vaccines that are in edible baits across the landscape, out of planes or helicopters. And the raccoons eat it and they become vaccinated against rabies. And, of course, that protects us and our livestock and our pets". This solution has proven quite successful but Nuisner specified that, for it to work, you must have the right resources available - funds to fly helicopters around and pay for the baits - and a species that’s "long-lived". "Raccoons are short-

Pack of Canadian Wolves Released in National Park to Control Moose Populations It rippled through the conservation and hunting communities this week when news broke that four Canadian wolves were air-dropped in a national park. According to a recent National Park Service (NPS) news release, the wolves were trapped in Canada and released in the Isle Royale National Park in Michigan. “During a narrow weather window between storms last week, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (OMNRF) successfully transferred four wolves to Isle Royale National Park,” NPS said. “Earlier this winter, severe weather on both sides of the border hampered the ability to capture and transfer wolves. However, NPS staff worked diligently with ONMRF and over the course of four days successfully translocated Canadian wolves. Two mainland wolves, one female and one male from the same pack and both with a black coat color variation, were captured on crown land near Wawa, Ontario, and transferred to I

Less Lethal Wolf Ammo? Roughly 30 local ranchers gathered at the fairgrounds in Carey, Idaho, last week to talk wolves. But this was far from the typical wolf discussion. The workshop, possibly the first of many hosted by Defenders of Wildlife, took an unusual and widely unacknowledged tack: Don't shoot the predator, protect the prey. The morning served as a crash course in a host of non-lethal deterrents to wolf predation, from guard dogs to grazing rotations. It also marked the first attempt by Defenders to share with the public lessons learned over the past three years by the Wood River Wolf Project. Defenders of Wildlife spokeswoman Suzanne Stone says the project has field-tested numerous tools for decreasing livestock losses to predators, an approach that replaces the habit of killing problem animals with the concept of coexistence. "If you do nothing and kind of rely on the traditional lethal control methods routinely used by [U.S. Department of Agriculture] Wildlife Services f

Rewilding: Jaguars return to Argentina’s wetlands 70 years after local extinction Rewilding efforts are returning jaguars, the largest predator in South America, to areas where the species has been driven to local extinction due to hunting and habitat loss. In Argentina, just 200 Jaguars remain, but a reintroduction programme has returned a mother and two cubs to the country’s Iberá wetlands, 70 years after the species was last observed in the region. They are the first of nine jaguars which will be released to repopulate the wetlands, which are a protected area covering almost 700,000 hectares and offering an abundance of wild prey for the big cats. Jaguars are a “keystone species” - an organism vital for the continuation of the local ecosystem - as they control levels of prey which would otherwise overgraze habitats, reducing biodiversity. It is hoped their presence will help wildlife in the wetlands flourish. The adult jaguar, named Mariua by researchers, was born wild before b

Wolf attacks on herds in Dagestan: drama and fight against predators A real drama unfolded in the hunting grounds of Dagestan over the weekend: a huge pack of wolves, numbering about 12 individuals, attacked local herds, causing panic among residents. These predators are terrorizing the entire area, and local residents are forced to take measures to protect their animals. According to local residents, the video begins with the wolves tearing a horse to pieces. This incident became an alarming signal for hunters and farmers, who realized that they needed to act. On the same day, a hunter appeared at the scene of the attack, ready to confront the threat. As a result of the hunt, they managed to get 3 wolves. Despite this, for such a large pack, this is not a significant loss. Local residents understand that the fight against predators will continue, and it is necessary to develop a strategy to protect their herds.

Wolf charges Bear, then Bear charges the Wolf. I waited at a Bison carcass from 5am to 9pm for 3 days. Eagles and coyotes had been coming in trying to get a bite, while the Grizzly guarded the carcass, just as its mother taught it to. It would sleep on it and cover it with dirt, and when it seemingly left the scene….it would show back up when other animals tried to feed. On the 3rd morning a lone Wolf 1479 showed up from the Junction Butte pack. It had about 10 minutes to eat before the Grizzly came back. They had an initial stare down. The wolf stood on the carcass and then charged the bear. The bear initially retreated and then decided to charge the wolf. Of course the bear reclaimed the carcass.

What Gear Do I Need for My First Hunt? A Professional Hunter’s Guide Stepping into the world of hunting is more than just buying a rifle and heading into the woods. It’s about preparation, respect for the land, and having the right gear to ensure safety, success, and ethical practice. As someone who’s spent decades in the field — from frosty dawns in the Midwest to dry stalks in the Southwest — I’ve seen firsthand what gear matters and what’s just dead weight. This guide breaks down the essential hunting gear every beginner needs for their first hunt, based on real-world experience and practical use — not marketing hype. 🎯 1. The Right Weapon for the Game Your firearm or bow is your primary tool. Choose it based on the species you’re hunting and your local regulations. • Rifle: For deer, a bolt-action rifle chambered in .243, .270, or .308 is ideal for beginners — manageable recoil, good accuracy, and widely available ammo. • Shotgun: If you’re hunting birds or small game, a 12 o

After using this rifle on a challenging hunt, I have compiled a list of pros and cons based on my performance with the weapon. Pros: Versatility for All Shooters: One of the standout features of the BRX1 is its straight-pull bolt action, which accommodates both right-handed and left-handed shooters.

8 Great New Hunting Rifles for 2022 Though I absolutely love those rifles which have been with me for decades, and have shared so many indelible memories, I still get excited to see the new crop of rifles introduced each year, and always ponder the possibilities of creating new memories with a new model. A hunting rifle can become a life-long friend, but like any friend, there’s the first time you meet, and like so many friendships, sometimes things don’t work out. Whether it’s a long-range bolt gun for sheep, elk and antelope, or a thumper of a lever gun destined to pursue bear in the spring vegetation, or an all-around deer gun, the possibilities are endless. Let’s take a gander at what’s new for 2022 for the American hunter.1. Marlin 1895 SBL and Trapper Rescued from the dustbin by Ruger, Marlin was purchased in the breakup of the Freedom Group, and they are coming back with a vengeance.

Hunting Squirrels: Which .22 is for You? Lever-action, single-shot, bolt-action, semi-automatic and pump. When we picture a .22-caliber rifle in our mind, one of these traditional guns is sure to appear. However, a new style is emerging as a great sporting tool. Lately, .22-caliber rifles are being built on tactical rifle frames. These guns may look a lot different, but when it comes to putting a round in a squirrel’s ear they all work the same. With squirrel season in full swing in the Midwest, what better time to take a look at America’s favorite rifle caliber. Literally billions of rounds of .22-caliber rimfire ammunition are fired each year. Most of it is shot while plinking and hunting squirrels and rabbits, though small varmints like groundhogs are also heavily hunted with rimfire guns Today, almost all rimfire ammo in common use is of .22-caliber, with only a few limited exceptions (like the .17 HMR). This was not always the case, however. One of the most sought-after "Yankee"

Small Game Alaska As we pushed our way through the waist deep snow the big snowshoe hare just sat there and waited. His “white” camouflage blended perfectly with the snow, but not quite good enough to keep me, and my 8-year old son, Eli from pushing forward. With each step I figured he would bolt, but he didn’t so we decided to keep moving towards him. I slowly raised the BowTech bow and settled the pin. In most states hunting small game usually takes a back seat to hunting big game, especially here in Alaska. With moose, caribou and sheep practically around every corner most people forget that the state also harbors some of the finest small game pursuits in the country. As hunters we all live for the fall and rightly so. Bears, sheep and goats are constantly on our minds and we absolutely cannot wait until the season opens. Like most people who chase animals either with a bow, rifle or shotgun it becomes a totally obsession that drives us not only throughout the year, but als

Bergara Canyon If you prefer the classic fit and feel of a hunting rifle stock without the extra weight, Bergara’s Premier Series Canyon rifle, built on a 100% carbon fiber AG Composites stock may fit the bill. The No. 4 fluted barrel with the 5/8-24” threaded Omni brake allows reduced felt recoil when shooting the heavy-hitting caliber options. The M5 floor plate gives you the ability to customize with either the detachable magazine or a hinged floor plate. The Canyon rifle is the perfect balance of a lightweight and portable hunting rig. The Canyon’s two-position safety is part of the trigger assembly, which is a TriggerTech Frictionless Release Technology trigger. One great feature of this combination allows the bolt handle not to lock in the closed position, which in turn allows the rifle to be unloaded while in the safe position. The Canyon offers two barrel lengths, 20- and 22-inch, with chamberings to include 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, .308 Win, .300 Win Mag, 300 PRC, 28 Nosler a

The new series also better be loaded with innovations that aficionados of the brand really do want and need. It also should be close enough to the original beloved DNA of the brand that customers will be excited about, but still comfortable with, the change. 600 Alpha So when CZ said it developed a new 600 series of bolt-action rifles—guns that will reportedly replace the CZ 527 and CZ 557—and asked us to come to the Czech Republic to see them, we were excited about the prospect. We were hopeful they had designed a rifle that would be a smart replacement for established models.

Honest Review of the Remington 783 in .308 Win I recently had the opportunity to spend some time with the Remington 783 chambered in .308 Win, and I wanted to share my thoughts on this rifle. First and foremost, the build quality of the Remington 783 is impressive for its price point. The synthetic stock is sturdy and provides a good grip, which is vital for maintaining control during shooting. The overall design feels solid and durable, making it a suitable option for both new and experienced shooters. One of the standout features of the Remington 783 is its AccuTrigger system. This adjustable trigger allows for a smooth pull, which is essential for accurate shooting. I found that I could easily customize the trigger weight to my preference, leading to improved performance on the range. The accuracy of this rifle is commendable; I was able to achieve tight groupings at various distances, which speaks to its reliability in the field. The .308 Win caliber is a great choice for versa

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.

THE CANADIAN SHIELD Hunting Seasons: Key Opening and Closing Dates, Required Licenses and Essential Rules Nestled in Canada's heartland, the Canadian Shield spans Ontario, Quebec, and parts of Manitoba, offering hunters unique opportunities shaped by ancient geology and diverse ecosystems. Understanding the region's hunting framework is crucial for a successful and legal experience. Seasonal Structure and Management in the Canadian Shield Hunting in the Canadian Shield operates primarily during spring (mid-April to June) and fall (early September to late December). These periods are scientifically determined through wildlife management studies that consider migration patterns, breeding cycles, and population dynamics. The region's climate and topography significantly influence these schedules – northern areas often have shorter fall seasons due to earlier winters compared to southern portions.

When the boats are running and the sun is hot, you can still count on getting bites with this efficient finesse rig By now, most bass anglers are familiar with the drop-shot rig. Two decades have passed since the tactic first hit the fishing scene. The drop-shot’s origins are in Japan, where finesse-fishing gurus perfected the technique and later shared it with West Coast anglers facing tough fishing conditions in the clear waters of California. The drop-shot quickly answered the prayers of bass anglers struggling to get a bite. Then the drop-shot moved east, proving its effectiveness through the country’s midsection and into the Great Lakes. It was here that the drop-shot, which allows bottom contact even in the roughest waters, gained steam among smallmouth bass anglers. Personally, I fished the drop-shot rig to over a quarter-million dollars in tournament earnings during my tenure as a competitive angler on Lake Erie in the early 2000s. Then, nothing came close to the rig’s effec

Gulf Country's Hunting Calendar: When the Savannah Comes Alive - Buffalo, Banteng and Outback Pursuits Hunting Regulations & Seasonal Framework in Gulf Country The vast Gulf Country region of northwest Queensland operates under a unique set of hunting regulations shaped by its remote location and tropical savannah ecosystem. Governed primarily by Queensland's Nature Conservation Act 1992, the area permits year-round hunting of feral species including pigs, buffalo, and goats, while maintaining strict seasonal controls on waterfowl (typically March to June). The region's dramatic wet/dry seasonal cycle profoundly impacts hunting access - from November to April, monsoon rains flood vast areas, making most tracks impassable and limiting hunting activity to the dry season window from May to October. Unlike neighboring Cape York, Gulf Country doesn't permit crocodile harvesting but boasts Australia's only wild banteng population, offering a truly unique hunting experience. Recent regulato

I shot this button buck Saturday night while sitting at the base of a giant oak tree. Three does came out of the cedars earlier that evening, but they were about 155 yards away and moving at a pretty good clip. Then this young deer came out, and when he finally moved out from behind a couple trees in front of me, he stopped quartering toward me and gave me a shot at about 75 yards. I don’t prefer to hunt with a muzzleloader, but the December season seems to be about the only time I get the opportunity to hunt deer. The shot rang and after a moment of blindness, the smoke cleared. I saw the deer bolt about 50 yards to my right. I thought I’d missed him, but as he approached a couple lone cedar trees in the open, he made a sharp, confused U-turn, and then crashed down into the dry creek bed to the north. I almost expected him to get up and continue running over the hill, or slip away down the dry bed. Trembling, I reloaded my gun. If he was there, I needed to give him time to die with

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

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.

CONNEMARA'S Wild Rhythms: Hunting Calendar, Coastal Game Patterns, and Licenses in Ireland's Atlantic Frontier General Hunting Rules and Seasons in Connemara Connemara'

CONNEMARA'S Wild Rhythms: Hunting Calendar, Coastal Game Patterns, and Licenses in Ireland's Atlantic Frontier General Hunting Rules and Seasons in Connemara Connemara's hunting seasons blend standard Irish regulations with unique coastal adaptations. Deer seasons run 1 September - 31 December for stags (red deer only) and 1 November - 28 February for hinds, with Connemara's native herd enjoying special protection status. Waterfowl seasons follow national dates (1 September - 31 January) but are restricted to specific inland areas due to marine conservation zones. The region's hyper-oceanic climate - with 250+ annual rain days and salt-laden winds - creates compressed hunting windows, particularly for birds. Unlike neighboring Mayo, Connemara maintains complete bans on all mountain hare hunting and stricter controls on wildfowling due to wintering bird populations. The 2022 Conservation Act introduced mandatory use of non-toxic shot across the entire region and GPS tracking for all h

From Autumn Stags to Winter Woodcock: Decoding WICKLOW'S Hunting Calendar, Restricted Zones, and Expert Strategies for Mountain Game General Hunting Rules and Seasons in Wicklow Mountains The Wicklow Mountains operate under standard Irish hunting regulations with some local restrictions due to the Wicklow Mountains National Park status. Deer seasons run from 1 September to 31 December for stags (red, sika, and fallow) and 1 November to 28 February for hinds/does. Game bird seasons follow national dates: pheasant (1 October - 31 January), woodcock (1 November - 31 January), and duck (1 September - 31 January inland). The region's unique microclimate - with higher rainfall and earlier frosts than surrounding lowlands - creates compressed hunting windows, particularly for birds. Unlike neighboring counties, Wicklow maintains stricter controls on deer culling due to forestry protection programs. Recent changes include mandatory use of non-toxic shot within 500m of all watercourses and co

KILLARNEY NATIONAL PARK Hunting Seasons Decoded: Legal Dates, Prime Game Windows, and Essential Regulations in Ireland's Wilderness General Hunting Rules and Seasons in Killarney National Park Hunting within Killarney National Park operates under exceptionally strict controls due to its protected status, with only limited seasonal hunting permitted in specific buffer zones under NPWS supervision. The park allows controlled deer hunting (primarily native red deer) from 1 September to 31 December for stags and 1 November to 28 February for hinds, with all hunting prohibited in the core conservation areas. Waterfowl hunting is banned park-wide, reflecting its designation as a Special Protection Area for birds. The park's unique microclimate - influenced by the Gulf Stream and mountainous terrain - creates earlier rutting seasons compared to other Irish regions. Recent decades have seen complete bans on fox hunting and significant reductions in permitted cull numbers to protect the genet
