Výstava na Špilberku láká do jihomoravských lesů Chtěli byste lépe poznat jihomoravské lesy? Nemusíte hned na tůru s encyklopedií, abyste se o nich něco dozvěděli. Stačí navštívit výstavu na Špilberku zvanou Lesem, kterou připravilo Muzeum města Brna ve spolupráci s řadou dalších institucí. Vyražte s Duchem lesa na poutavou pouť po jihomoravských lesích, kterou nabízí výstava na Špilberku. Expozice s názvem Lesem bude pro děti i dospělé ke shlédnutí až do konce června. “Je to společná cesta dějinami člověka a lesa. A je to v podstatě o využití lesa jak v pravěku, tak v raném novověku, vlastně do současnosti. Jsou to všechny stránky jeho využití od surovinové základny přes loveckou a šlechtickou zábavu až po současnost, kdy můžeme tady vidět třeba turistiku, houbařství a další,” uvedl Martin Samson, kurátor výstavy. “V té historii ten les měl spoustu rolí a to jsme právě chtěli připomenout. Že se stromy, se dřevem, s přírodou žil člověk celý život a i to budoucno, jak vlastně by se měl

Historie lovu losa evropského (Alces alces) Los evropský je největší zvěří jelenovitou na našem území. Z historického hlediska byl ale los pro naše kronikáře a historiky nezajímavý. Výskyt losa v Čechách se začal důsledněji mapovat až po roce 1957, kdy u nás docházelo k častým výskytům losa. Prvotní zmínka o výskytu losa pochází z druhé poloviny 16. století. První losi byli chování v menší obůrce při oboře poděbradské, kde měli svoji ošetřovatelku paní Maruši z Polabce. Chovaní losi pocházeli z nedalekého Polska. Odtud si je nechal poslat císař Ferdinand I. v roce 1563 byla poděbradská obůrka obohacena o další dva kusy losů, kteří pocházeli opět z Polska. Jejich původ pocházel přímo od Kateřiny, královny polské, která byla sestra arciknížete Ferdinanda. Po jeho smrti daroval nastupující císař Maxmilián jednoho losa bratru arciknížeti Ferdinandovi na Křivoklát. Další kusy losí zvěře k nám byli přivezeni například z Litvy. Písemná zmínka o úspěšném chovu losa pochází z z roku 1567, kdy

Děčínský zámek a myslivost Zámek patří mezi nejstarší památkové objekty v ČR. První nepřímá zmínka pochází již z konce 10. století. Jeho historie se tedy odvíjí více než 1000 let. Současná podoba zámku vypínajícího se nad středem moderního města je dílem hraběcího rodu Thun-Hohenstein, který držel děčínské panství v letech 1628 až 1932. Thunové pocházeli z jižních Tyrol a postupně se vypracovali mezi přední šlechtické rody habsburské monarchie. Příslušníci rodu pravidelně zastávali důležité politické i církevní úřady. Například Lev Thun působil v 19. století jako ministr kultu a vyučování, jeho synovec Franz Thun zastával hned dvakrát post místodržitele v Čechách a v letech 1898 až 1899 se stal předsedou rakouské vlády a současně i ministrem vnitra. Za své zásluhy byl roku 1911 povýšen do knížecího stavu, který od té doby dědí prvorozený syn. Jan Josef Thun (1730 až 1731) ve 30. letech 18. století často využíval pro naplnění svých loveckých zálib okolní hluboké lesy s hojností zvěře. P

Výše zástřelného a nálezného v oblastech s výskytem afrického moru prasat se sjednocuje na 2000 Kč Státní veterinární správa (SVS) v reakci na vývoj nákazové situace afrického moru prasat (AMP) v oblastech s výskytem této nákazy na Frýdlantsku a Mimoňsku (tzv. uzavřená pásma II) zvyšuje zástřelné u prasat divokých ze současných 1000 Kč na 2000 Kč za kus. Naopak nálezné se v této oblasti sníží ze současných 3000 Kč na 2000 Kč za nalezené uhynulé tělo divočáka. Koncem srpna byla změna projednána se zainteresovanými subjekty v rámci jednání na půdě zemědělského výboru Poslanecké sněmovny. V současné době dochází k tomu, že prasata divoká nakažená virem AMP přežívají po infikování delší dobu, po kterou jsou zdrojem šíření infekce pro další prasata. Vzniká tak situace, kdy jsou nakažení divočáci stejně rizikovým potenciálním zdrojem šíření AMP jako jejich uhynulá těla (kadávery). „Z tohoto důvodu je lov prasat divokých stejně důležitým opatřením snižujícím riziko dalšího šíření AMP, jak

Historie Jack Russell teriéra začala v roce 1818 v Anglii, kdy kněz jménem John Russell (Jack) koupil fenu jménem "Trump" od místního mlékaře. Byla bílá s červenými skvrnami. Pasteur bral psy na lov, byl to jeho koníček. Snažil se vyvinout dokonalého lovce nor. Russell byl zkušený a nemilosrdný chovatel. Pečlivě vybíral štěňata, vybíral jen ta nejslibnější, podle jeho názoru se zbavoval těch špatných. Tato technika sloužila k formování vynikajících loveckých schopností u psů plemene Jack Russell Terrier. John chtěl k loveckému plemeni přidat více vzteku a agrese. Proslýchá se, že transfuzoval býčí a teriérskou krev. I v naší době se zachovali předci takto stvořených psů. Liší se trochu jinou barvou (místo červené mají černé skvrny), kousáním a zvýšenou agresivitou. Russell byl kategoricky proti tomu, aby se jeho plemeno účastnilo výstav, což vysvětluje tím, že jeho psi byli stvořeni výhradně pro lov. Pasteur měl mnoho nepřátel a odpůrců, kteří říkali, že Trump nemá štěňata, a on sám by

Trophy hunting: Import ban While the tourist season is in full swing, animal welfare NGOs around the globe call for a ban on hunting trophy imports. Special attention is given to the U.S. and EU travellers, who are the major clients of modern taxidermists. In a joint position manifesto 137 conservation and animal protection organisations from all around the world, including 45 NGOs from the African continent, took a stand against trophy hunting and urged lawmakers to ban imports. “Trophy hunting stands out among the worst forms of wildlife exploitation and is neither ethical nor sustainable. In the face of the man-made global biodiversity crisis, it is unacceptable that exploitation of wildlife simply for acquiring a hunting trophy is still permitted and that trophies can still be legally imported. It is high time that governments end this detrimental practice” Mona Schweizer, Ph.D., from Pro Wildlife said. The statistics point to a huge ongoing crisis in the field of animal conser

First Look: Garmin Xero A1i Pro Bow Sight Are you ready to take the next step in archery technology? Technological advancements in the hunting world continue to make hunters more successful. Jack O’Connor felt that one of the most significant advancements to hunting was the modern riflescope. It would be interesting to hear what Mr. O’Connor would have to say today about modern optics. The optics community has snowballed and includes all aspects of the archery world. Fred Bear shot a 65-pound recurve bow, inspiring generations of archers to take up the sport. Bear’s early videos made hunting with a bow adventurous and appealing. Many archers still embrace the basics and shoot instinctively. However, there are modern advancements that allow archers to be more successful. The advent of the compound bow was a huge step. Moving from brass pins to fiber-optic sights showed a clear advantage—carbon arrows overtook the established aluminum arrow market. Speed ratings for bows continue to c

🇺🇸 An epic hunt that gave us the opportunity to explore some incredible and untouched areas, where we found not only plenty of Marals, but an adventure like no other. Not every day one gets the privilege of hunting on these beautiful mountains surrounded by wolves, bears, ibex, and wild boars amongst other creatures. This majestic and huge bull was spotted on our first hunting day, and from that moment we knew he was the one we wanted, which somehow, made our adventure even more special. Trophy aside, the way this Maral patrolled his area was a clear sign of dominance and no other bull dared to confront him during the 3 days we tried to cut distance with him. Regarding the trophy, the weight of the antlers -despite having to wait for the skull to dry out completely, where the expected weight loss could be up to 2 kg- proves this will clearly be the biggest Maral harvested in the area this year. Luck is an important factor, but without attitude and resilience, none of this would have
