Review of the Mossberg 500A (12x76, 7+1, 510mm Barrel)
As an avid shotgun enthusiast, I recently had the opportunity to spend some time with the Mossberg 500A. This shotgun has garnered a reputation for its versatility and reliability, and I was eager to see how it held up in real-world conditions. Below, I'll detail my experience, along with some pros and cons.
Pros:
Reliability: The Mossberg 500A is renowned for its dependability, and for good reason. I took it to the range on multiple occasions, and it performed flawlessly with a variety of ammunition. No misfires, no jams—just consistent performance that gives you confidence in a shooting scenario.
Ergonomics: The shotgun is well-designed, with controls that are intuitive and easy to reach. The grip felt comfortable in my hands, and the overall balance of the firearm makes it easy to maneuver. This is especially important in dynamic shooting situations where speed matters.
Versatility: With a 12-gauge caliber and the ability t
Macrozamia bush flavour for Australian aborigine hunters.
Macrozamia are palm-shaped, dioecious plants with a usually unbranched trunk with several or many leaves. The leaves of the macrozamia are pinnate, pubescent, at least when young. Young macrozamia plants can differ significantly from adults in leaf details. The seeds of the macrozamia are almost spherical to oblong or elliptical in shape, with a red or, less often, yellow, orange or brown fleshy outer sarcotesta.
Most parts of the macrozamia are toxic. Various species are the cause of livestock poisoning. The seeds of the macrozamia are poisonous, but the aborigines know how to handle them to remove the poison, and thus take advantage of the large amount of food provided by a single plant.
Macrozamia seed cones form after some fire. Male and female seed cones form on separate plants, and large female seeds mature when they turn red or yellow.
Seeds of macrozamia are a good source of starch, but when eaten without processing

Morocco To Boost Game Hunting Tourism
Game hunting in Morocco generates over MAD 1.2 billion per year with 80 000 Moroccans and 3,000 tourists participating in the sport annually.
Rabat - The Moroccan High Commission for Water and Forestry and the Fight Against Desertification plans to promote hunting tourism in Morocco, using it as a tool for rural development.
According to Abderrahim Houmy, the Secretary General for the commission, hunting has real social-economic potential
Approximately 3000 tourists per year currently come to hunt in Morocco and the commission wants to increase this number to 15,000 by 2024, Houmy stated at the annual Game Fair in Lamotte-Beuvron, France, held between June 14 and 16.
For Chafik Jilali, the president of the Moroccan Royal Hunting Federation, Morocco is a prime destination for hunting tourism.
“Morocco is very close to Europe. It already has accommodation infrastructure on par with that of Europe. We also have good transport networks, including air
New rule gives Colorado authority over gray wolf management
With Colorado’s gray wolf reintroduction deadline looming, the state just received some good news regarding gray wolf management. This week, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) finalized a rule, 10j, that will allow the state to create its own rules for what’s considered a “nonessential experimental population,” according to Channel 9 News.
This is a big step for the reintroduction effort in a measure that was approved by voters back in 2020, which requires Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) to reintroduce wolves to the state by Dec. 31, 2023.
CPW announced on Twitter/X that “10j gives us gray wolf management flexibility,” which includes determining when it will be permissible to kill a problem wolf.
10j was supported by local ranchers who, per the state’s management plan, will be allowed to kill wolves if they catch one “actively trying to kill livestock,” according to Channel 9 News. Without this rule in place, the
About hunting in Africa
For the hunter seeking a wide variety of game animals, beautiful country, century-old hunting traditions, and the spice of danger, hunting in Africa is an experience unmatched anywhere on Earth. Whether you choose to hunt plains game in southern Africa or take on Cape buffalo and elephant in the wilds of East Africa, a hunt on the African continent will create memories that will stay with you for a lifetime.
More than a dozen countries in Africa offer hunting in some form. The countries in southern Africa, especially South Africa, Namibia, and Zimbabwe, are visited by the largest numbers of hunters. Hunting in these countries is accessible and affordable and provides an outstanding experience, especially for the first-timer. East Africa, especially Tanzania, Ethiopia, and Mozambique, holds large wilderness areas and good numbers of dangerous-game animals such as lions, buffalo, leopards, and elephants. Safaris in this region are true to the tradition of the lux
Alaska’s Dall Sheep
Alaska’s Dall sheep (Ovis dalli dalli) are found in relatively dry alpine country and frequent a special combination of open ridges, meadows and steep slopes with extremely rugged “escape terrain” in the immediate vicinity. Generally known to be high-country animals, they also sometimes occur in rocky gorges below timberline.
Rams, distinguished by massive curling horns, usually weigh less than 300 pounds, while ewes, with shorter, more slender, slightly curved horns, typically reach only half that size.
As the remoteness of their habitat and its unsuitability for human use does much to protect the species, Dall sheep in Alaska are generally in good population health, even though low birth rates, predation (primarily by wolves, coyotes, and eagles), and a difficult environment tend to keep growth rates lower than for many other big-game species. However, their adaptation to the alpine environment seems to serve them well. They have survived for thousands of years
Pheasant Stocking In PA
HARRISBURG, PA -- Saying there is bad news and good news for the future of pheasant hunting, Pennsylvania Game Commission officials have announced that hunters still should expect to see the agency's pheasant stocking efforts increase to 200,000 birds for the 2012-12 license year. However, because of recent flooding impacts at two of the agency's game farms, hunters will notice a significant reduction in pheasant stockings this year.
"Prior to the flooding from Tropical Storm Lee, Game Commission game farms were on track to have more than 104,000 ring-necked pheasants for release on public lands throughout the Commonwealth for the upcoming small game hunting seasons," said Carl G. Roe, agency executive director. "Unfortunately, flood waters that wrecked havoc for tens of thousands of Pennsylvanians also destroyed pheasant holding fields at the Loyalsock and Northcentral game farms in Lycoming County.
"Initial reports showed about 40,000 birds either perished i
10 Classic Hunting Rifles Every Hunter Should Own (Part 1)
These classic hunting rifles bring a good dose of nostalgia, and plenty of real-world performance
1. Springfield Armory Model 1903 Sporter
Many, if not most, of our modern bolt-action hunting rifles have their roots in military rifles of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. After the World Wars, an abundance of surplus rifles was quickly taken advantage of by hunters. The 1903 Springfield was commonly “sporterized” by pulling the action and putting it in a shorter, more-handy “sporter” stock. Of course, they were often re-barreled, re-chambered, and highly-modified for specific hunting purposes—all based around the robust 1903 action.
It was common for gunsmiths to “sporterize” surplus rifles for customers, turning them into heirloom hunting rifles. If I was to buy one, I’d take the original .30/06 chambering, although they were often re-barreled in other calibers like .270 Win. The 1903’s action was built for battle, a
Mooching for Deer
With the three-hour mooch complete on a recent December morning, our six-pack of deer hunters chewed venison sticks in Doug Duren’s old farmhouse in southwestern Wisconsin and wondered where Duren would send us for the afternoon mooch.
Any outsider listening in probably would’ve wondered about something else: “What’s a ‘mooch’ and how does it involve deer hunting?” Good question. No dictionary explains the term the way Duren uses it. Mooching does not mean loitering, which assumes you’re hanging around with no purpose. Nor does it involve begging for food, drink, money or other handouts.
Instead, one mooches by moving glacier-like along a precise route, as designated by Duren, through a woodlot or its border with a field of corn or alfalfa. Your individual mooch, when combined with mooches made by fellow moochers, creates one overall mooch, much as individual drivers combine to create a drive.
If the mooch succeeds, a moocher gets a shot at a slow-moving deer, or
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
The German Wirehaired Pointer: A Hunter's Rugged and Reliable Companion
For those of us who live and breathe hunting, the choice of a canine partner is one of the most important decisions we make. We're not looking for a pet; we're looking for a teammate, a specialist, a dog that embodies the spirit of the hunt as much as we do. The German Wirehaired Pointer (GWP) often stands out as a top contender – and for good reason. This isn't a pampered show dog; it's a versatile, tough, and intelligent hunter bred for serious work in the field.
What Can a Wirehaired Pointer Hunt?
The beauty of the GWP lies in its versatility. They're true multi-purpose dogs. While individual dogs may show a preference for certain game based on their training and experience, a well-bred and trained GWP can excel at:
Upland Birds: Pheasant, quail, grouse, woodcock, partridge – the GWP's keen nose, methodical search, and staunch point make it a formidable upland bird dog. They're known for their ability
Yakut moose is now even more accessible
To receive the 🏆 "Russian Super Cup" prize in the KGO, a Yakut moose trophy must be harvested. And in general, the trophy will be of interest to all collectors.
The Yakut moose 🫎 in the shape and size of its antlers is more similar to a large European moose, good specimens of which have been successfully harvested in the Chelyabinsk region in recent years.
In a very frosty climate of -50 and with poor nutrition, the antlers of the "Yakuts" never reach the size of the Chukchi ones.
When serious frosts come, the moose goes out into open spaces and starts moving so as not to freeze. Therefore, in Yakutia, local hunters prefer to go moose when the cold weather begins 🥶 from -40 ° C.
🗓 Hunting season: from September to January.
ℹ️ Individual hunting or up to 2 people in a group.
Each hunter is provided with personal transport, a driver and a guide.
The cost of 3 days of hunting, including 1 Yakut moose trophy, is 700,000 rubles.

Lynx gracefull hunter
Lynx swims well and is not afraid of water like domestic cats. There is documentary evidence that one lynx swam 3.2 km across the Yukon River. Also, the lynx is good at climbing and hiding in trees, escaping from opponents high in the trees. It is considered that lynxes hunt exclusively on the ground. But as you can see from this video, a mountain river is also a suitable place.
Lynx (bobcat ) eats 0.6—1.2 kg per day. Mainly hunts the American white hair, which takes up tu 97% of it the total diet. The percentage depends on the season and the number of hares. When there are not enough hares, lynxes begin to hunt ducks, grouse, partridges, squirrels, voles thereby causing serious damage to some of these bird species. Young ungulates (for example, Dall sheep, black-tailed deer, northern forest caribou) can also be a prey. In summer and autumn, the lynx often adds small mammals to its diet, in addition to the hare.
Before giving birth to offspring, the lynx prepar
Labrodors – great hunters, even if they hunt mushrooms.
Labrador is hunting dog, so … If a Labrador is picking mushrooms, it's called hunting anyway, just mushroom hunting.
"Truffle hunters" are looking for an underground mushroom by smell. Everyone knows that pigs have traditionally been used in this field. But these, undoubtedly, the smartest animals have a big drawback: greed. They know about truffles in about the same way as they do about oranges. Having found a precious mushroom, the pig devours it without a twinge of conscience – if the owner does not have time to take it away.
Any dog with a little sense of smell can easily sniff out the strong smell of a ripe truffle and indicate its location, without having to dig it up and devour it, as trained pigs do. In addition, it is somehow more convenient for an intelligent urban truffle collector to keep a dog in an apartment than a pig.
Labradors once again hold the title of the main good boys, this time in the hunt for truffles
