Boat Accessories for the Salt Water Boat-show season was a huge success this year for both the boating industry and its consumers looking for some new boat accessories, like me. It goes without saying that the prior-year pandemic regulations created hardship for places of gathering, whether it was church, classrooms, theaters, restaurants, and yes, trade shows. With these imposed restrictions, outdoor enthusiasts took it in the teeth when it came to Sportsman and Boat Shows. But 2022 showed signs of improvement, breathing air into the oxygen-starved industry. Throughout the Pacific Northwest, what last year was a virtual echo chamber this year was an elbow-to-elbow, bustling free-for-all. Eager outdoor enthusiasts were hungry, and these trade shows helped many turn their dreams to realities, while others better prepared for yet another season of reveries.

Ved vinterjagt er det som ingen anden vigtigt ikke at fryse. Det er umuligt at lave et godt skud med følelsesløse eller rystende hænder fra kulden efter en lang, ubevægelig venten på trofæet, og sikke en fornøjelse det er at være nedkølet og kun tænke på, hvordan man varmer op. Derfor fylder vi sparegrisen op med ideer til, hvordan du kan holde varmen om vinteren under en statisk jagt - i et rullegardin eller i et rum. Hvorfor statisk? For under gåjagt er alt lidt enklere: du bevæger dig, blod cirkulerer aktivt i hele kroppen og varmer dig. Hvis du er klædt rigtigt på, har flere lag udstyr og velvalgt termoundertøj, så skal du ikke være bange for hypotermi. Hvis du er blevet tvunget til at vente i nogen tid, især når den er ubevægelig, så ved du, hvor svært det er at holde på varmen: kroppen afkøles gradvist, og en defensiv reaktion opstår - skælvende.Как

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.

Potato Latkes with Alaska Salmon Roe “These little potato cakes called latkes are quick, simple, and versatile. I serve them as a side dish to roasted birds or as a brunch dish topped with eggs and smoked salmon. There are plenty of other uses, but for me the best is the way I had them as a kid. I remember watching my grandmother patiently and lovingly grate potatoes then onions by hand into a bowl. She would crack a few eggs, season with salt and pepper and stir gently so the mixture would just barely assemble. Using a spoon, she would scoop a little batter out and in a well-rehearsed manner, then she would drop them carefully one by one into a hot skillet generously slicked with duck fat. As the cakes sizzled, the intoxicating aromas filled our tiny kitchen. I stood by her side like an untrained puppy panting for his treat. She would give me the very first one, hot, straight out of the pan, unadorned. She would blow on it lovingly so it would not burn my lips and as I took a bite,

The Thrill of the Hunt: Connecting with Nature Hunting has been an integral part of human culture for centuries, serving not only as a means of sustenance but also as a unique opportunity to connect with nature. For many, it is more than just a sport; it’s a way to appreciate the wild, understand animal behavior, and develop a deep respect for the environment. The thrill of the hunt comes from the challenge it presents. Whether tracking a deer through the woods or patiently waiting in a blind for waterfowl, each outing is an adventure. Hunters often rely on a mix of skill, knowledge, and patience to succeed. It’s not just about the final catch but the experience of being outdoors, the strategies involved, and the camaraderie shared with fellow hunters. Sustainable hunting practices play a vital role in conservation efforts. By participating in regulated hunting, individuals contribute to wildlife management and habitat preservation. This balance ensures that animal populations remai

### Sunset in Nature There is something profoundly magical about witnessing a sunset in the great outdoors. As the sun begins its descent, painting the sky with vibrant hues of orange, pink, and purple, the world seems to pause in reverence of nature's daily spectacle. #### The Beauty of Color Sunsets offer a mesmerizing display of colors that gradually change as the sun dips below the horizon. The sky transforms into a canvas where shades blend seamlessly, creating a breathtaking view that captivates anyone lucky enough to witness it. Photographers and artists often seek out sunsets for their natural beauty, finding endless inspiration in the fleeting moments of twilight. #### Peace and Tranquility Being in nature as the sun sets brings a profound sense of peace and tranquility. The gentle fading of daylight often coincides with a drop in temperatures and the softening of sounds, making the environment feel calm and serene. Birds begin their evening songs, and nocturnal creatures

Just stumbled upon some old photos in my archive and couldn't help but reminisce about my first hunting experience. It was a mix of excitement, nerves, and anticipation all rolled into one. The early morning start, the scent of the woods, the thrill of the chase – it was a feeling like no other. As I look back on those moments captured in those snapshots, I can't help but feel grateful for the opportunity to connect with nature in such a raw and primal way. The camaraderie with fellow hunters, the quiet moments of solitude, the satisfaction of a successful hunt – it's all part of the experience. Hunting isn't just about the kill; it's about the journey, the memories made, and the lessons learned along the way. It's a chance to disconnect from the noise of everyday life and immerse yourself in the beauty of the great outdoors. Who else has experienced the rush of their first hunt?

Why hunt for bear in Maine? For new and experienced hunters alike, going on a bear hunt is a great way to enjoy nature, get some exercise, and spend quality time outdoors with friends and family. The season starts in late August, offering experienced hunters extra time to scout for other species such as deer or moose while enjoying warmer temperatures. Successful hunters are rewarded with wholesome, locally sourced, free-range, hormone-free lean protein which, if handled properly, is excellent to eat! Bear hunting also helps manage the population. Maine has a healthy and stable population of black bears – the largest in the eastern United States, in fact. Since black bears do not have any natural predators, it would be very easy for the population to grow to an unsustainable level, leading to starvation, disease, and death. Bear hunting helps keep the population at a number where bears and their environment stay healthy.

Американский охотник убил 80-летнего аллигатора весом 400 кг. Аллигатор десятилетиями охотился на домашний скот, который приходил к озеру. Охотник из Миссисипи Даг Боррис, автор и ведущий канала Dynamic Outdoors TV, рассказывающего об охоте и рыбалке, застрелил 80-летнего аллигатора, который всю свою жизнь питался домашним скотом возле озера на юге Флориды, сообщается на Facebook, где Даг задокументировал свою добычу. Земноводное весит 400 килограммов, а его длина составляет без малого четыре метра (3,96 см). Боррис начал охотиться на аллигатора после того, как друг рассказал ему о существе, которое, по его словам, было рядом с ним с детства. Боррис нашел аллигатора на частном озере в округе Окичоби, увидев его на расстоянии приблизительно 460 метров от берега в прицел своей винтовки. Он ранил его в макушку, а когда аллигатор приблизился к нему на 165 метров, сделал контрольный выстрел. Когда Даг вытащил аллигатора из воды, он был ошеломлен его размерами. "Я понятия не имел, насколь

Соревнования ловчих птиц впервые провели в Можайске В окрестностях деревни Клементьево, расположенной в Можайском районе, состоялось неординарное outdoor-мероприятие. Здесь прошли Межрегиональные соревнования, которые продемонстрировали навыки охоты и работу ловчих птиц в естественной среде. На живописном месте собрались множество гостей: местные жители, опытные охотники, использующие соколов и ястребов, а также поклонники хищных птиц. Участники прибыли не только из Подмосковья, но и из других регионов, включая далеко отстоящую Пензу, где охота с птицами практикуется уже пять лет. Однако главными героями стали именно пернатые, продемонстрировавшие свои выдающиеся способности. Организаторы предусмотрели и зону для посетителей. Взрослые и дети радостно фотографировались с хищниками, выбирали сувениры и общались с охотниками и организаторами. Гости имели возможность насладиться зрелищными выступлениями. Каждая команда, состоящая из птицы и тренера, участвовала в трех категориях: «соко

Last weekend, I embarked on an unforgettable hunting trip in the heart of California’s wilderness. The journey began at the crack of dawn, with the sun casting a golden hue over the sprawling landscapes of the San Bernardino National Forest. Armed with my gear and a sense of adventure, I set out to explore the rugged terrain. The forest was alive with the sounds of nature, from the rustling leaves to the distant calls of wildlife. As I trekked deeper into the woods, I encountered a variety of game, including black bears and wild pigs. The thrill of the hunt was palpable, and every moment was a testament to the beauty and challenge of the great outdoors. One of the highlights of the trip was spotting a majestic mule deer. With careful precision and respect for the animal, I took my shot. The experience was both humbling and exhilarating, reminding me of the importance of conservation and responsible hunting practices. After a successful day in the field, I set up camp under the starlit
