Honest Review of the Sabatti Rover 870 in .308 Win with a 560mm Barrel As an avid hunter, I’ve had the opportunity to test the Sabatti Rover 870 in .308 Win with a 560mm barrel, paired with the Pulsar Digisight Ultra N455 LRF scope. Here’s my detailed take on this setup, including its strengths and weaknesses. Pros: Accuracy (Sub-MOA Performance): The Sabatti Rover 870 is a true performer when it comes to accuracy. With the .308 Win caliber and a 560mm barrel, I consistently achieved sub-MOA groups at 100 meters. This level of precision is exceptional for a hunting rifle, especially when paired with quality ammunition. Build Quality: The rifle is solidly built, with a robust action and a well-finished stock. The ergonomics are comfortable, and the weight distribution makes it easy to handle, even during extended hunting sessions. Versatility: The .308 Win caliber is a proven choice for medium to large game, and the Sabatti Rover 870 handles it beautifully. Whether I was hPost: 21 January 23:31
Pulsar Digex C50 Night Vision Scope with Digex X940S IR Illuminator Review I recently had the opportunity to try out the Pulsar Digex C50 night vision scope along with the Digex X940S IR illuminator, and I have to say, I am genuinely impressed with the performance of this setup. From the first time I set it up, the Digex C50 felt solid and well-built. The image quality is outstanding, even in low-light conditions. The clarity and detail are remarkable for a digital night vision device. It's easy to distinguish between different objects and even pick up movement at considerable distances, which is essential for my nocturnal hunting needs. The built-in features, such as video recording and streaming capability, are a big plus. Being able to capture my experiences and share them with friends or analyze for later is something I didn’t know I needed until I tried it. The Wi-Fi connectivity is user-friendly and provides a seamless interface with my smartphone. Pairing the C50 with the DPost: 28 November 17:27
2100 kilometers in three days, a couple late nights and busy talking to people and giving presentations at the Parkland Outdoor Show & Expo could wear a person out but the energy at this show kept us so energized. It was really humbling talking to people there that said they'd driven all the way from Manitoba or distant locations in Saskatchewan just to meet us. The only downside to to the show was that virtually everyone that we chatted with had a picture of a bigger deer on their phone than TJ has ever taken ;) It was pretty cool spending time with several of the top TV show hosts and outdoor personalities in Canada. We work in a pretty amazing industry with a bunch of amazing people. Sharing the stage with them at the Royal Rumble was pretty entertaining. Thanks to LIVE 2 HUNT with Cody and Kelsy for emceeing this question and answer session, even though he was afraid to have a push up competition. ;) And thanks to all the people that we shared a stage with.

Hunting With Dogs: Training & Safety Tips Hunting with your dog is an exhilarating way to experience outdoor life with your furred friend. Dogs have been hunting with humans for millennia. Many hunting breeds were actually developed specifically to find, flush out, or retrieve game. But that doesn’t mean that your dog will automatically know what to do on a hunt. Before you head out in search of game with your canine companion, you’ll need to train your dog. Aside from helping you find and retrieve the quarry you’re after, dogs also must become used to loud sounds like gunshots. You’ll also need to bring along the proper hunting gear necessary to keep your dog safe and satisfied in the field. Get Your Dog Used To Gunshots Gunshots are loud and can spook your dog into running off in the middle of a hunt. That’s why gun training is so important. Cara Harper is an expert in the field who regularly hunts with her Labrador Retrievers, Nita and Rou. Harper and her husband trained their puPost: 24 November 17:47
Wines to Pair with Fowl Turkey, goose, pheasant? A free-range chicken, or even a capon? The time of the season seems to indicate fowl. We kind of like the idea, since it is out of the ordinary to roast a big bird for a festive feast, the kind of bird that can feed a dozen. With that comes wine challenges, though to say “challenge” is stretching the truth. That truth is almost any wine can match nicely with a big bird roast, plenty of vegetables, maybe a grilled romaine salad with parmesan and homemade croutons. Some choices: Evolve Cellars pinot blanc ($15), almost Alsatian in style with its crispness, but it is distinctively Okanagan as well, with its viscosity and herbal notes, surrounded by delightful stone fruit elements. A sensationally good sparkling wine, the Cipes Blanc de Franc ($45) from Summerhill Pyramid Winery, is a sparkling cabernet franc, which will turn heads, and have people coming back for more, so you may need to have two bottles. It is a delightful, fruit-driven wiPost: 17 September 18:10

One of my favorite (and there are many) parts of our trips to South Africa is going to different places, hunting incredible animals, meeting and spending time with new friends, and seeing really cool things. Last year was no exception when we went for a very memorable hunt for a Blue Springbok, culling some Blesbok, getting to hold the oldest gun I’ve ever seen in this toradar from the 17th or 18th century, drinking some fantastic brandy with our host, and doing it all with my beautiful wife Ale’ on our honeymoon. Another great memory from last year with Shaun Keeny Safari's. — in Gauteng.Post: 8 May 09:09

Yuri Gagarin hunting, 1966. Yuri Gagarin, the first human to journey into outer space, found solace and excitement in hunting during his time on Earth. Despite his groundbreaking achievements in space exploration, Gagarin cherished the simplicity and challenge of tracking game through Russia's vast wilderness. Hunting offered Gagarin a chance to reconnect with nature and escape the pressures of his high-profile career. He particularly enjoyed bird hunting, often venturing out with friends and fellow cosmonauts to the serene landscapes surrounding his home. With his trusty shotgun in hand, Gagarin approached each hunt with the same focus and precision that defined his historic space missions. Colleagues noted his enthusiasm for the sport, describing how he would meticulously prepare for each outing, studying animal behavior and planning his strategy. Hunting provided Gagarin not only with physical relaxation but also mental clarity, allowing him to reflect and recharge away from the Post: 19 August 13:58

Barbin's Grange is a superb country estate with equestrian facilities, set in approximately 100 acres. The house, which mirrors the vernacular tilehung style of the area, is unlisted, unusually for a property of such scale in this location. There are extensive equestrian facilities at Barbins Grange. The stable yard has 7 stables, a tack room, feed store, hay store, 2-bedroom grooms' flat with kitchen and bathroom, separate grooms' loo and a two-story office with basement cinema room. The #gardens have a parkland feel to them with numerous mature specimen trees and, to the south of the house, there is a substantial area of pasture, which was formerly a polo pitch.

Review of the Mossberg 500A (12x76, 7+1, 510mm Barrel) As an avid shotgun enthusiast, I recently had the opportunity to spend some time with the Mossberg 500A. This shotgun has garnered a reputation for its versatility and reliability, and I was eager to see how it held up in real-world conditions. Below, I'll detail my experience, along with some pros and cons. Pros: Reliability: The Mossberg 500A is renowned for its dependability, and for good reason. I took it to the range on multiple occasions, and it performed flawlessly with a variety of ammunition. No misfires, no jams—just consistent performance that gives you confidence in a shooting scenario. Ergonomics: The shotgun is well-designed, with controls that are intuitive and easy to reach.

Review of the Huglu 901G Shotgun I recently had the opportunity to spend some time with the Huglu 901G shotgun, and I must say, my experience has been quite positive. This Turkish-made firearm combines traditional craftsmanship with modern design, making it a compelling choice for both hunters and sport shooters. Build Quality: The build quality of the Huglu 901G is impressive. The woodwork is nicely finished, with a smooth and polished look that speaks to the attention to detail that Huglu is known for. The action is solid, and the shotgun feels well-balanced in hand, making it comfortable to carry for extended periods. Performance: In terms of performance, the 901G stands out. It delivers consistent accuracy with minimal recoil, which is particularly beneficial for follow-up shots. The shotgun cycles smoothly, whether using lighter loads or heavier cartridges, and I had no issues with jams or misfires during my time using it.

Second, your weapon will determine your season, which also determines your experience. It is nearly universal, for example, that archery season for big game happens in September because it coincides with the elk rut (mating season). Hunting during the elk rut is a uniquely powerful experience. During this time, bull elk vie for the attention of cows, piercing the mountain air with their signature bugles, grunts, chuckles, and screams. The ability to hear the animals and understand their intent, and engage in vocal communication with a 600-pound king of the forest, is one of the most intense, thrilling, and addictive elements of archery hunting. Elk language is nuanced and laden with information. As a bowhunter your goal is to paint a picture in the animal’s mind with the timing, location, tone, and intensity of your vocalization. In one situation you might imitate a cow elk looking for love, while in another you might communicate to a bull that you’re a bigger bull ready to rumble. (IfPost: 21 November 18:04
A new app aims to help save critically endangered sea turtles Artificial intelligence can spot illicit tortoiseshell with greater ease—a new frontier in the fight against the the illegal wildlife trade. With its durability and transfixing swirl of translucent amber and brown layers, tortoiseshell has been used for centuries to make everything from jewelry to combs to dishware. “It was plastic before plastic was invented because it’s so malleable,” says Brad Nahill, co-founder and president of turtle conservation group SEE Turtles and a National Geographic Explorer. Named SEE Shell, the app uses machine learning to identify with 94 percent accuracy whether a photo of something with a tortoiseshell pattern is real or faux. It’s the first mobile app to use computer vision to combat the illegal wildlife trade, according to Alexander Robillard, a predoctoral fellow with the Smithsonian’s Data Science Lab who built the computer model that powers it, and it will help inform conservation-mPost: 21 April 20:45

Review of the Franchi Horizont .30-06 with Dual Brake Muzzle Device As an avid hunter with years of experience in various hunting conditions, I recently had the opportunity to test the Franchi Horizont chambered in .30-06, equipped with the Dual Brake Muzzle Device (DTK). My experience using this rifle has provided me with valuable insights, and I’d like to share both the pros and the cons. Pros: Precision and Accuracy: The Franchi Horizont impresses with its accuracy. Even at longer ranges, I found it easy to achieve tight groups. This is crucial during hunting trips where a precise shot can make the difference between success and failure. Build Quality: The construction of the Franchi Horizont .30-06 is commendable.

In Kazakhstan, you can hunt ibex in different places. To combine hunting with maral and roe deer, we choose the Dzungarian Alatau region. All this at the beginning of the season.
