In Horn of the Hunter, Robert Ruark describes two Cape buffalo he took on his first safari, in 1951, in (then) Tanganyika with Harry Selby. The first was wounded and gave the pair a hell of a time until he finally succumbed. The second, which had much bigger and more massive horns, was also wounded, and disappeared into a dense thicket.
Selby and Ruark looked at each other, then sat down to smoke a cigarette. As the minutes wore on, Ruark became more and more anxious about what was to come. Then Selby invited him to accompany him as he went after the buffalo — a serious compliment as you know if you’ve ever been in that situation. Ruark steeled himself, checked his .470, and off they went. The tracking took some time. It probably seemed much longer than it was, but that’s the way these things work, as they crept along, expecting a charge at any second.
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.

Exploring the Kavango East Region of Namibia: Landscape, wildlife, hunter population, timelines, legal framework, cultural aspects, insights, organizations, traits
Landscape and natural characteristics for hunting
Kavango East, covering roughly 48,790 square kilometers, is a region defined by its unique geography and natural characteristics that make it an exceptional hunting destination. The lifeblood of the region is the Okavango River, a vital water source that sustains a wide variety of wildlife, especially during the dry season when animals gather near its banks. The landscape includes dense miombo woodlands, open savannas, and fertile floodplains, creating ideal habitats for both large and small game. With a subtropical climate marked by distinct wet (November to April) and dry (May to October) seasons, animal behavior and hunting conditions are heavily influenced by these seasonal changes. Additionally, the proximity to protected areas like Bwabwata National Park makes Kavango

The season is closed, we are waiting for the new season!
Speaking about hunting in 🇮🇷 Iran for ibex and rams, we have already become accustomed to the fact that the season is regulated not only by the time of year and the life cycles of animals.
Within these frameworks, there are even stricter restrictions on issuing official hunting permits. The permitted time at the beginning of 2025 was just enough for several groups of hunters to manage to get everything ✅ planned.
📆 The hunt in January and February was very successful for our hunters, 💯 everyone got a result!
We got a trans-Caspian urial, two red rams, an Esfahan mouflon, two bezoar ibex.
We are very pleased and grateful to our hunters that everyone fought to the end, despite the difficult weather conditions, very difficult landscapes and strong winds 🌬
👏 Congratulations and accept applications for the next season: Esfahan mouflon, Kerman ram, Persian desert and bezoar ibex, red ram.
We are waiting for the opening of ot
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
Shed Hunting 101: Expert Tips for Finding More Antlers This Spring
Everything you need to know to find a pile of shed antlers this spring, from the basics of when and where to advanced bone-collecting tips
Shed hunting comes at the perfect time of year. Big-game seasons are over in most places, and turkey seasons haven’t started yet. That means most of us are looking for a reason to get outside, and what better reason than a chance to get your hands on some antlers? But even if you’re not a big-game hunter, you should give shed hunting a try. Why? Because hunting for the shed antlers of North America’s deer species (whitetails, mule deer, elk, moose, and caribou) has something for everyone. It gets you outside and exercising at a time of year when not much else is happening, and it can turn into a fun hobby—if not an obsession—that results in a tangible reward. Meanwhile, you’ll be learning more and more about the deer or elk your areas, and for whitetail hunters especially, it can tea
The rise of the German Empire under Prussian leadership was in full swing during the mid 1800’s. For the first time, the army, which up to this time had been made up chiefly of the Prussian aristocracy and peasantry, was opened up to the middle class. This, combined with sweeping economic and political changes occurring throughout Europe, led to a rise in the status of the middle class within the Empire.
With this rise came increased privileges regarding land ownership and hunting. In previous centuries, it was usually only the kings, prices and nobles who had the right to hunt, and they owned vast tracks of land for this purpose. However, as the wealth of middle-class Prussia grew during the 1800’s, merchants, professionals, and other middle-class citizens were able to purchase or lease land for themselves on which, of course, they could hunt.
Fulfilling a Need
In Germany dense forests blended with open fields and housed all types of feather and fur, including grouse, rabbit, fox, dee
Lamb Karahi
Lamb Karahi is one of our favourite lamb curry dishes, and we're telling you now, it is well worth the time and effort to make.
Why is it our favourite? The combinations of ingredients make a flavour that's hard to resist. It has a good amount of heat, while the sweet tomatoes, combined with the thick, rich, gravy-like sauce, is pretty moreish.
We also love it because you can use cheaper cuts of lamb, which lends itself perfectly to the longer cooking time, meaning you're left with tender pieces of meat at the end.
Where is Lamb Karahi from?
Mughlai Karahi Gosht gets its name from the deep, circular pots it's traditionally cooked in (like a wok with two handles). It's particularly popular in North Indian, Bangladeshi and Pakistani cuisine (although ingredients will always differ).
It's essentially a fragrant, slow-cooked lamb stew made with a rich tomato, garlic, green chilli and garam masala curry base.
What other meat can be used in a Karahi dish?

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
DON’T ABANDON OTHER FOODS
There’s no question deer migrate to oaks when acorns start falling, but even when a majority of their diet consists of acorns, they eat other food.
"I have a couple of food plots adjacent to some mature white oaks,” Giles said. “I see deer feeding in the plots all the time, even when there is a good acorn crop. They don’t spend nearly as much time in the food plots when there are lots of acorns, but they will certainly stop for a few bites of clover or oats on their way to or from acorns.”
The edges of bean fields also are worth hunting, but find an oak dropping acorns on the edge of that bean field and you’ve found a potential hotspot. Isolated fruit trees, native and planted, draw deer throughout the early autumn, too. Sandiford likes to find fruit-bearing persimmon trees near oaks.
“If you can get a combination of foods in a small area, you’ve got a real good place to hang a stand,” he said.
Hunting during an epic acorn crop can drive you nuts, but the
The best ways to keep your pets cool this summer
A lot of us are excited about the warmer temperatures, which means more time outside with our furry friends.
Experts say to keep our pets safe from the heat, walk your dog early in the morning or later in the evening when the temperatures are cooler. Limit their time outside when it’s especially hot out and keep them hydrated.
Never leave your dog inside the car, even if you have a quick trip inside a store. A car can heat up quickly in just a few minutes.
We have shoes to protect our feet but our pets don’t have that option, so don’t walk them on the hot pavement which can badly burn their paws. Instead, walk in grassy areas.
If they are overheated, cool them off underneath their armpits, chest, and ears. If they will drink water, give them lukewarm, not ice-cold water because you don’t want to shock their system and get them to a vet as soon as possible.
If it’s just simply too hot for those walks, there are plenty of ways to giv
