Renard roux - Red Fox Vulpes vulpes - Gaspésie (Québec, Canada) Pour le renard roux, se nourrir l'hiver au Québec n'est pas toujours chose facile. En effet, une grande partie de ses proies habituelles sont soit parties en migration dans le sud, soit en pleine hibernation, soit actives mais sous une épaisse couche de neige.

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.

Hunting in Kinshasa: Urban Outskirts, Cultural Hunting Heritage, and Ecological Contrasts The Ecological Mosaic of Kinshasa and Its Surroundings Although Kinshasa is best known as the bustling capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, its periphery is marked by a contrasting landscape of savannah patches, lowland forests, wetlands, and rivers. These transitional zones between dense urbanization and the natural world provide habitat for small game species and support limited traditional hunting. The areas along the Ndjili and Congo Rivers, as well as nearby forest fragments, represent the last vestiges of wild space in this growing metropolis. Demography In Kinshasa itself, hunting is largely absent due to urban sprawl. However, in peri-urban and rural zones on the outskirts—such as Maluku, Kimwenza, and areas toward Kwilu—hunting remains a subsistence activity. It is practiced by small-scale farmers, fishermen, and migrant families who retain ties to traditional village life
