Stags, Ponies, Raptors – what an amazing day we’ve had! 🦌🐴🦅
Today was all about being surrounded by nature's finest. The majestic stags, with their powerful antlers, roamed gracefully through the fields, a true symbol of strength and endurance. The wild ponies, untamed and free, galloped across the landscape, their manes flowing in the wind, reminding us of the beauty of freedom and resilience. And then there were the raptors – sharp-eyed, fierce hunters of the skies, soaring effortlessly as they scanned the ground below for prey.
Each animal brought its own sense of wonder, from the ground to the sky. It’s moments like these that remind us of the incredible diversity in the animal kingdom and the thrill of witnessing it up close.
Can’t wait to share more photos next week – stay tuned for some unforgettable wildlife moments! 📸✨

The Timeless Tradition of Falconry in the UAE
In the heart of the Arabian Peninsula, where the vast desert meets cutting-edge modernity, lies a tradition that has stood the test of time: falconry. Esteemed as both an art and a sport, falconry holds a special place in the cultural heritage of the United Arab Emirates.
For centuries, falcons have been revered not just as hunting companions but as symbols of grace, power, and freedom. The UAE's unique landscape, with its sweeping dunes and open skies, provides the perfect backdrop for this ancient practice. Today, falconry is not only a way to connect with nature but also a means to preserve the rich traditions of Emirati culture.
Falconry in the UAE is more than just a pastime; it is a celebration of skill and patience. Falconers invest countless hours in training their birds, building a bond of trust and understanding. The annual Falcon Festival showcases this commitment, drawing enthusiasts from around the globe to witness impressiv
The Yellowstone Travelers,
Wandering an unexpected path.
Through the seasons of rain amongst the greens, bright sunshine of warmth, fallen leaves of gold, and darkness housed in cold, they step with heavy hooves of history across a vast forested ecosystem reserved for them; their home and their recovery. Here, even what's for us, remains for them.
This protected world stretches for nearly 3,500 square miles across these mountains, an almost entirely untouched wilderness. Below, a short 142 miles of pavement carves a Grand Loop where most of Yellowstone's human visitors can be found. But even these 142 miles belong to the wild residents, and they will often use them as they please.
This is, of course, the path of least resistance, and they recognize it as such. Make no mistake, the iconic bison herds of Yellowstone are never forced to use these paved miles. They use them simply because they want to, not because they have to. These are fascinating moments of unique circumstance, and I

The fading symbol of Africa
To the wide world, the elephant is the symbol of Africa. Hunters might hold out for the lion, and the greater kudu has it advocates, but ask the average person what animal he thinks of when you mention Africa and the answer will almost always be “the elephant.”
This fact is important when you consider the coverage given to game conservation generally by the mainstream media. The mountain nyala may be seriously endangered, or the eastern bongo, or giant sable, but mention those to the average journalist—or, more to the point, the average editor—and you will likely get nothing more than a strange look.
Every couple of years, The Economist, London’s highly respected international news magazine, remembers the elephant and sends someone to take a look at its status. One expects high quality journalism from The Economist, and usually gets it. Its most recent articles on elephant are broadly excellent, but with one curiou
UNIJOS employs local hunters, vigilantes, to secure campus, hostels
Worried by the security situation in its campus and hostels, the management of the University of Jos (UNIJOS), has revealed that it has engaged the services of local hunters and vigilantes to help secure the students on campus and their hostels.
This was made known on Tuesday by the outgoing Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof. Sebastian Maimako, during the valedictory session to mark the end of his five-year tenure.
“It is no longer news that the security situation in the country is quite tenuous,” Prof. Maimako said.
Continuing, he said:
“This is why under my administration, we made frantic efforts to ensure that all lives and property within the university are adequately protected.
“When we got a security report that we were the soft target, we closed our hostels for almost two weeks and suspended lectures eventually.

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
Even though the U.S. Department of Agriculture has now reversed its ill-timed Sept. 2 ban on importing game birds taken in Canada, waterfowl hunters throughout North America could still be impacted by the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza in migratory game birds during the coming months.
Following a new ruling issued by the USDA on Sept. 12, American hunters are allowed to bring game bird meat back from Canada, but the birds must be cleaned, stored and transported as follows (which is different than how many people field-dress waterfowl):
Viscera (innards), head, neck, feet, skin and one wing must be removed.
Feathers must be removed, with the exception of one wing — as required by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for species identification.
Carcasses must be rinsed in fresh, clean, potable water prior to packaging and must not have visible evidence of contamination with dirt, blood or feces.
Carcasses must be imported in leak-proof plastic packaging and stored in a leak-proo
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
Night hunting presents unique challenges. We discuss the challenges as well as the opportunities available with new technology.
As discussed in previous Hogman Outdoors blogs, night hunting presents a unique set of challenges. Nocturnal animals are nocturnal for a very simple reason - they prefer, and in often cases are uniquely adept at, hunting, roaming and prowling at night.
In the case of cats and coyotes, their eyes have an increased number of rods, as opposed to cones. Rods increase the ability to intake minimal ambient light and see as they do in full daylight; these animals in effect have their own unique "night vision", allowing them to be very effective at night hunting. It is often times population expansion/presence of human activity that drives these animals to nocturnal behavior.
Hogs, on the other hand, are nocturnal for an entirely different reason, they prefer to avoid the heat and UV rays of the sun. While active during the day in the winter months, they w
Albania's Hunting Ban: Birds and Mammals Get a Two-Year Break
Vast numbers of European birds and other wildlife will be spared from illegal slaughter, thanks to a two-year moratorium on all hunting enacted by the government of Albania.
The Balkan country, which lies along a major migratory flyway, encompasses wetlands and other habitats that provide crucial refueling stops for millions of migrating birds. But poor law enforcement, a surge in gun ownership, and an influx of foreign hunters had made Albania essentially a year-round shooting range. Targets were not just game species but also eagles, cranes, shorebirds, and even small songbirds.
"Albania was a death trap for migrating birds," said Gabriel Schwaderer, executive director of the conservation organization EuroNatur.
It wasn't just birds that suffered, according to Schwaderer. To study the critically endangered Balkan lynx, EuroNatur set up automatic cameras in mountainous areas, documenting all passing animals. Mammals suc
How Mexico revolutionized the science of antivenom
Innovative policies and a diverse scorpion population have led to new treatments in Mexico, providing a model for other developing countries, experts say.
PUEBLA STATE, MEXICO Ojo de Agua Ranch, at the edge of the sleepy town of Agua Fria, is home to nine dogs, six geese, 12 canaries, 21 sheep, and 163 horses. The sprawling 400-acre oasis is the inheritance of five brothers, the eldest of which, Alejandro Alagón, bought the equines in 2008 with a specific purpose in mind: Creating antivenom.
Nearly 140,000 people die from snakebites annually, many of which are treatable with antivenoms, according to the World Health Organization. Envenomations—the term for bites and stings caused by animals such as snakes and scorpions—are also a silent scourge: In 2017, WHO added snakebite envenomations to its list of neglected tropical diseases.
That’s why, throughout the 20th century, Mexican researchers improved and invented over a dozen antiv
