Angola While hunting is not currently taking place on a commercial basis in Angola it is looking like a new hot spot and may open up by 2025 with some outstanding Elephant and Cape Buffalo available. We recently looked at some hunting areas in the Cuando Cubango Province near Mavinga and I personally saw buffalo over 45 inches and bull Elephant in the 60–70-pound range. There is already a very nice lodge in place and once the CITES details are worked out this will be the prime area for most hunts in Angola. The first few hunters in country will definitely get the hunting opportunity of a lifetime. If you are interested contact us so we can keep you posted on the progress being made and we can place you on our waiting list so you don't miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to open a new safari area!!

Local experts provide safety tips for 2021-2022 hunting season. Fall has begun in West Virginia, bringing with it cooler temperatures, beautiful colorful leaves and the beginning of hunting season. Like any other state, a number of different rules and regulations are in place. However, many forms of hunting are currently available to residents. Hunting season for squirrel began on Sept. 11 and will continue through Feb. 28. “Small game has such a high reproductivity we can extend the seasons and have higher limit,” said Steve Rauch, District 1 wildlife biologist for the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources. However, for most hunters in West Virginia, hunting means big game, such as deer and bear. Archery and crossbow season began on Sept. 25 and continue through Dec. 31. During archery season, hunters can take either an antlered or antlerless deer or a bear. Hunters should pick up a copy of the “Hunting and Trapping Regulations Summary” to familiarize themselves with the r

Talarik Creek Lodge: Hunting for Trophy Rainbow Trout I answered him that it was not, and he shrugged off the 18-inch Arctic grayling on the end of my line like it was a piece of weed. My wife had sent us fishing that evening to catch some fresh grayling for dinner and our goal was now achieved, with four large, translucent-white-fleshed fish having been plucked from the cold waters of the Newhalen River. The author’s son Lucas with what he calls “a real fish” also defined as any rainbow trout over 20 inches caught on a fly rod. What is it about rainbow trout that incites such excitement? Why is it that when fishing guides congregate around a fire the conversation always finds its way to rainbows, not salmon, not char, not pike, but definitely rainbows? “Keep it in the water,” “Careful, don’t drop it,” and “Nice release,” are all phrases I’ve heard said and spoken myself. I have a personal admiration for the green-speckled creatures, and rainbow trout fishing has a cult following tha

Life of a Sockeye On July 22nd, 2021, news broke that Bristol Bay was having its biggest sockeye salmon return since recordkeeping began in 1893. More than 63 million sockeye had returned to the bay’s different watersheds and fish were still running. By the time the run was complete, almost 66 million sockeye had returned on their journey to complete the life of a sockeye salmon. A few days later, I left town to guide a natural history brown-bear film shoot in Southeast Alaska. One of the sequences we were trying to get was of a bear chasing salmon underwater. We had a camera in an underwater housing submerged near the base of a raging waterfall. It could be operated from 100 yards away with an iPad. On its screen, I watched dozens of pink salmon and small, darting, feasting Dolly Varden. In the middle of the frenzy was a salmon with a crimson body and green head—a male sockeye. It was swimming in place beneath the falls, waiting for the right moment to attempt climbing them so it cou

8 Best Charge-Stopping Bear Cartridges 1. .45-70 Government First adopted by the U.S. military in 1873, the .45-70 Government has been one of the longest-standing big-game cartridges of all time. It’s also been incredibly popular among Alaskan hunters and guides, especially in lever-actions like Marlin’s 1895 Guide Gun, which is compact, fairly lightweight and highly maneuverable in close quarters. It’s also capable of sending a massive projectile, like Buffalo Bore’s 430-grain hard-cast bullet, at roughly 2000 fps and 3,600 ft.-lbs. from the muzzle. Talk about stopping power. 2. .454 Casull Developed by Dick Casull and Jack Fulmer in 1957, the .454 Casull is a dangerous game hunter’s dream come true. One of the more powerful handguns available today, the .454 is capable of pushing a 300-grain Buffalo Bore bullet at 1650 fps with 1,813 ft.-lbs. of energy at the muzzle.

Maine and Massachusetts could soon see bans lifted on Sunday hunting In the US, there are 40 states that have no prohibitions on hunting on Sundays Some states are steadily chipping away at longstanding bans on Sunday hunting, and there's a push to overturn the laws in Maine and Massachusetts, the final two states with full bans. Maine’s highest court is considering a lawsuit asking whether the state's 19th century law, which prevents hunting big game animals such as deer, moose and turkeys on Sundays, is still necessary. In Massachusetts, where hunters are also lobbying for Sunday hunting rights, there is a renewed effort to change state laws forbidding the practice. Forty states have no prohibitions on hunting on Sundays. The bans stem from so-called "blue laws" that also regulate which businesses can remain open and where alcohol can be sold on Sundays. Animal welfare groups, conservation organizations and others are rallying to defend the prohibitions, but the end of the laws

Review of the Antonio Zoli MG 92 Combination Gun (Drilling) – 8.57x72R + 2x 12/76 Barrels As an avid hunter who has used the Antonio Zoli MG 92 drilling combination gun for both deer and black grouse (teterev), I can confidently say that this firearm is a unique and versatile tool for hunting. However, like any piece of equipment, it has its strengths and weaknesses. Here’s my detailed take on this gun after several outings in the field. Pros: Versatility: The combination of an 8.57x72R rifle barrel and two 12/76 shotgun barrels makes this gun incredibly versatile. Whether you're stalking deer in dense woods or flushing black grouse in open fields, the MG 92 adapts seamlessly. The ability to switch between rifle and shotgun modes without changing guns is a game-changer. Build Quality: Antonio Zoli is known for its craftsmanship, and the MG 92 is no exception. The walnut stock is beautifully finished, and the metalwork is precise and durable. The gun feels solid in your hand

The bobcat (Lynx rufus), also known as the red lynx, is a medium-sized cat native to North America. It ranges from southern Canada through most of the contiguous United States to Oaxaca in Mexico. It is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List since 2002, due to its wide distribution and large population. Although it has been hunted extensively both for sport and fur, populations have proven stable, though declining in some areas. It has distinctive black bars on its forelegs and a black-tipped, stubby (or "bobbed") tail, from which it derives its name. It reaches a total length (including the tail) of up to 125 cm (50 in). It is an adaptable predator inhabiting wooded areas, semidesert, urban edge, forest edge, and swampland environments. It remains in some of its original range, but populations are vulnerable to extirpation by coyotes and domestic animals. Though the bobcat prefers rabbits and hares, it hunts insects, chickens, geese and other birds, small rodents, and deer. Pre

Hunting in the Middle Ages In the modern US, hunting is not considered an elite activity. One tends to think of country folk and good old boys going hunting, often because they could use the food. The last time hunting was considered something for the wealthy and powerful was back when it was considered appropriate to go to Africa or Alaska to shoot elephants or lions or polar bears in Africa or Alaska. In the Middle Ages, in contrast, hunting was very much an activity for elites. Nobles loved to hunt, to the the point that giving up hunting was a sign of serious penance. Several saints started life as rich lords but were converted to the religious life when, on a hunting trip, they saw an animal carrying a cross. Fantastic stories often involved hunting, such as capturing a white (albino) hart or trapping a unicorn, as seen in this late medieval tapestry. Probably the main source of meat on a noble table was from hunting, rather then livestock raising. Nobles hunted various k

How to Can Deer Meat Tools and Ingredients: Pressure canner Quart jars, rings, and lids Venison Garlic Non-iodized salt Black pepper Directions: Trim up meat so that the majority of fat and tendons are removed. Cube the meat into pieces that are about the size of a golf ball. “Cold pack” the raw meat into the quart jar, leaving about 1 inch of headspace. Use a spoon to tightly pack in the meat. Don’t add any liquid, as the meat will create natural juices during the canning process. Put 1 teaspoon of non-iodized salt, ¼ teaspoon of black pepper, and two cloves of garlic on top of the meat. Adding a few slices of green pepper or onion is optional, and note that a little bit of flavor while canning will go a long way. Place on lid and screw on ring. Put your jars in the canner. Follow the directions that are specific to your pressure canner, which will suggest something like adding three quarts of water, and canning for 90 minutes at 15 pounds of pressure.

How to Stalk a Pronghorn Antelope The heat of the merciless sun pounded the back of my neck as I glassed through the small gap of the lone cedar bush I was crouched behind. His handsomely colored face and long curved black horns seemed to fill the viewfinder as I studied every inch of him. He was a dandy goat, and there was nothing more I wanted to do at that moment than wrap my hands around his black, 16-inch horns. This ground-crawling, torturous stalk began some two hours ago, and needless to say my body ached from the countless gouges, pokes and prods from the seemingly endless supply of needle-sharp plants that inhabit this semi-arid landscape. Although I had whittled the mile down to a mere 110 yards, I could go no farther. It wasn’t because of my lack of sheer will, there was just no cover between me and my bedded prize. I could easily have reached out and touched him with the help of modern ballistics, but I receive no satisfaction from that fact. I wanted to get archery-close

Когда Рузвельд добрался до этого места, он отказался стрелять в медведя, аргументируя это тем, что подобный поступок не достоин охотника. Тем не менее, животное добили, чтобы не мучилось. Вскоре этот поступок послужил образом для огромного количества газетных карикатур, что разошлись по всей стране.

Hunting in the Bloemfontein Region: Premier Lodges, Trophy Springbok, and Plains Game Adventures Geography and Natural Setting Located on South Africa’s central plateau, the Bloemfontein region is characterized by open grasslands, scattered acacia and thornveld, and gently rolling hills. This combination creates a diverse and inviting landscape for hunters, offering both visibility and natural cover for tracking and stalking game. The dry climate brings hot summers and cool winters, with the winter months from May through August being the most favorable for hunting. During this time, the vegetation thins out and animals are more active during daylight hours, increasing the chances of successful encounters. Hunting Demographics in the Bloemfontein The hunting community around Bloemfontein is both dynamic and diverse. Local landowners frequently open their private reserves to hunters from across South Africa and around the world. Thanks to the city’s accessible airport and strong inf
