Did you know that in Europe, the right to hunt is considered a privilege rather than a right? In many European countries, prospective hunters must pass rigorous tests and obtain licenses before they are allowed to hunt. These licenses are often restricted to certain species and areas, and hunting regulations are strictly enforced to ensure sustainable populations. In some countries, such as Germany and Austria, hunters must also undergo extensive training in wildlife biology, ecology, and marksmanship before receiving their licenses. This rigorous process ensures that hunters have a thorough understanding of their role in the ecosystem and are equipped to make ethical and responsible hunting decisions. Another interesting fact is that hunting traditions vary widely across Europe. In some countries, such as France and Italy, hunting is considered a luxurious social activity, with elaborate dress codes and exclusive hunting clubs. In other countries, such as Sweden and Finland, hunting

Hunting in the North of Burkina Faso: Sahelian game pursuit, discreet Fulani and Mossi tracking techniques, spiritual codes of restraint, and low-impact desert hunting Scorched plains, windblown trails, and sparse savannah The Nord Region of Burkina Faso lies deep within the Sahel — a band of semi-arid land stretching from the Atlantic to the Red Sea. Here, the climate is harsh: long dry seasons, short erratic rains, and a landscape marked by thorn scrub, fading grass, and scattered acacia trees. Once roamed by large herds and migratory flocks, the region is now shaped by fragility — ecological and social alike. Despite this, hunting endures, not as a sport or luxury, but as a way of surviving and remembering. In the northern provinces of Yatenga, Zondoma, Loroum, and Passoré, hunting is austere, precise, and guided by ancestral instinct. Mossi and Fulani hunting knowledge: austere, adaptive, enduring Among the Mossi farmers and Fulani herders who populate the Nord, hunting has lon

Hunting in Bushenyi: Uganda's Verdant Hunting Ground Where Tradition Meets Conservation The mist hangs low over Bushenyi's rolling hills in the early morning, clinging to the dense forests and tea plantations that blanket this fertile region. Somewhere in the damp undergrowth, a bushbuck freezes at the sound of a snapping twig, its ears twitching as it scans the shadows. This is hunting in Bushenyi – a subtle, intimate dance between hunter and prey played out in landscapes so lush they seem to breathe. Unlike the open savannas of northern Uganda, hunting here requires patience, stealth, and an intimate knowledge of the forest's secret rhythms. A Tapestry of Green: Bushenyi's Hunting Landscapes Bushenyi's geography makes it one of Uganda's most distinctive hunting destinations. The district sits at the edge of the Albertine Rift, where the land folds into steep hills and valleys carved by ancient glaciers. Three key ecosystems converge here: Montane Forests – Primeval stands of maho

The hunt photographed here was more difficult than most — for reasons beyond the weather and rugged terrain. It was my first trip back to Alaska since my father’s death in March of this year.⁣ ⁣ Dad had joined me in Alaska twice before. The first trip was to fish and explore, the second to hunt caribou above the Arctic Circle. I remember asking him, “Do you want to go caribou hunting?” He shook his head with a quick, “No, not this year.” I pressed, sliding a plane ticket and his caribou tag across the dining room table. Surprised but hesitant—65 years old and a little nervous—he said yes. By June, he was packed and ready for our mid-September departure. That was Dad—quietly determined, but always prepared. We had a great hunt, and he killed a nice bull.⁣ ⁣ On each solo hunt after that, I’d message him with my InReach every few days, updating him on close calls and wild moments. He loved it all. Last year, I wrote from the Alaska Peninsula, “Dad, I thought we had a big earthquake today—

THE WOLF OF MY DREAMS!!!… The challenges of wolf hunting- you sit there staring into space, in a fog, your mind goes numb, for who knows how long… then all of a sudden, it happens. And when you spot a wolf, or a pack of wolves, your emotions REDLINE!!! You go from a lethargic daze to gasping for air… IT’S WILD!!! Let me tell you the story of this wolf… My friend Mark McKay, Richy and I were climbing in our blind at daybreak. I was sliding my feet into the bottom of my Heater Body Suit and just about to zip it up when I heard someone say, “WOLVES!!!” Remember the emotions I was telling you about. 🤯🤯🤯… Mark scooted into the blind and informed us he had just seen the whole pack, and they were coming our way! I quietly racked a shell in my Browning 7mm, and gave myself a pep talk about gathering my “chickens!” Eight wolves came into sight!!! They were about 170 yards away down over the ledge of a beaver dam. They held up just barely in a small shooting lane. That’s when I noti

Bear hunting with Laika ( Russian husky ) On this video shown the most correct, typical LAIKA work (hunt) on a bear.

WHAT IS HARE HUNTING? Hare hunting involves the pursuing of hares by a pack of harriers, beagles, or bassets with followers either on foot or on horseback. The Association of Masters of Harriers and Beagles lists 71 current hare hunts that are still operating. Similar to the fox hunting season, hare hunting takes place between late August until March. However, whilst fox hunting takes place all over the country, hare hunting tends to be limited to certain areas and this is because hares stay within their territory. Hares spend the entirety of their lives above ground and so during the chase they do not seek safety underground like foxes do. This means they tend to stick to the area that they know and run in loops whilst being pursued by the hounds. Hare hunts can often last up to an hour with hares desperately doing everything they can to escape. Ultimately the hare being hunted will give up from exhaustion and be caught by the faster hounds before it is ripped to pieces.

"Norway - 'King of the Forest' is Causing a Stir" The moose is called the "king of the forest". There are good reasons for that, it is Norway's largest mammal on land. "I have never seen anything like it, and I have seen many animals throughout my photography career, says photographer Thomas Mørch." He is talking about the spotted elk that walks around Hallingdal. A few years ago Albin the albino moose became such a big celebrity that the hunting teams protected him. A white national treasure, which was felled by a Danish hunter in 2011 who had not caught the "protection". Now the forest has a new moose that stands out.
