A memory of the best time of the year - Red deer,Sika deer ,Fallow deer and Roebucks rut in Europe 🇭🇺🇨🇿🇸🇰, when I was hunting with clients.🌲🦌📯Post: 6 February 10:05
I had some messages lately asking if I took my 300 RUM to Tajikistan on the Marco Polo and ibex hunt… the answer is a solid yes! The entire 2022 season I hunted with the RUM. Most probably know by now that I’m willing to pack a heavy rifle around (even on my backpack hunts). A rifle has one purpose, during one tiny small moment of a hunt. I know my thinking isn’t the norm, and I’m probably on the opposite side of the spectrum when it comes to a hunting rifle; but that’s what makes hunting fun, we have choices. I know one thing, this rifle setup is a dream to shoot and flat out performs!Post: 6 April 17:56

Hunting in France: the hunt or chasse Hunting in France is, at least in rural parts, an institution. It has apparently not shown a decline in numbers in recent decades (although a lot of the hunters appear rather elderly...). Hunters in France come from all social backgrounds, which probably in part explains the lack of hostility to hunting that is seen in those countries where it is largely the gentry who control the hunting. Hunting is to be distinguished from 'pest control'. Control of foxes, ragondin or pigeons for example, usually falls to local specialists rather than the main hunters. Hunters are usually looking for deer, hares, rabbits and wild boar, and game birds such as partridge or pheasant. In France hunters almost always hunt with dogs, but usually on foot - less commonly on horseback. The dogs may be owned by the individual owners or by the hunt as a whole. The dogs belong to specific breeds of hunt dog. Most hunters in France belong to a specific type of 'pack of hunPost: 14 June 17:07

Hunting in the Aoraki/Mt Cook region, laws, natural adventures, types and seasons of hunting: a unique experience in New Zealand Geographical and natural features of the region from a hunting perspective: an ecosystem where man becomes part of nature The Aoraki/Mt Cook region covers an area of about 700 square kilometres, where the national park takes centre stage. The area is characterised by sharp mountain ranges, glaciers and alpine meadows. The altitude of the terrain varies from 500 to 3,724 metres above sea level (Aoraki/Mount Cook peak). The climatic conditions create unique hunting opportunities: cool summers (December-February) and cold winters with heavy snowfalls. The average annual temperature is around 8°C, which influences wildlife behaviour and the timing of hunting.

Border Terrier: The Rugged Little Hunter You Might Be Overlooking The Border Terrier. Most people picture a scruffy, friendly family dog. But beneath that charming exterior lies a tenacious, skilled hunter that's been quietly working alongside sportsmen for over a century. If you are looking for a versatile, hardy, and manageable hunting companion, it's time to consider this breed. What Does a Border Terrier Hunt? Don't let their size fool you. Border Terriers were originally bred to bolt foxes, meaning their primary job was to drive foxes out of their dens so the hounds could continue the chase. This inherent drive translates into a surprisingly versatile hunter: Fox: This remains their forte. They are relentless at the den and possess the grit to stay at it. Badger: Similar to fox, they will readily go to ground after badger. Rats and Vermin: An absolute terror to rodent populations. Excellent for farm and estate work.

🇺🇸 Early wake-ups and late evenings is what roebuck hunting is all about. In between, long hours of planning the “best” strategy for that one buck which keeps your hunter and you awake during the short sleeping hours of the night. What will the wind do? Will the females around him spot us and run away scuppering our chances of success? When hunting for such special bucks, usually nothing ever comes as planned over so many times in your mind.

5 Best States for Pig Hunting Looking to hit the road for a hog hunt? These five stops are prime for swine Feral hogs are one of the country’s great ecological disasters. Few pests are more difficult to control, or more immediately detrimental to native ecosystems. In fact, some biologists consider hogs to be the most destructive invasive species on the planet. Though their spread across the United States has been slowed a bit over the past few years, thanks to smart regulations and trapping measures, wild pigs are nonetheless here to stay in many parts of the country. Unfortunately, new pig populations most often arise because people intentionally relocate them in hopes of hunting them. That’s why states without existing pig problems have actually taken to outlawing pig hunting — much to the consternation of local hunters who can’t understand how not shooting pigs is actually the best way to control them. But the reality is, pigs breed too fast, and are too intelligent, to control thPost: 23 May 11:28
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.Post: 17 June 09:44

Hunting for a Hare with a Dog: A Day in the Field with ROS the Spaniel Today, my red spaniel ROS showed exceptional skill in tracking a wounded hare. He picked up the scent of the injured animal, chased it down with determination, and finished the job with a clear voice. The emotions I’m feeling right now are overwhelming - not because of the hunt itself, but because of the dog’s incredible work. Thanks to ROS, there’s no wounded animal left suffering in the field. I’m sure many hunters will understand this feeling. While there are breeds that might perform this task even more spectacularly, ROS is my dog, and this was only his second time hunting hare. It’s all part of his training, and I’m proud to share how it went. Here’s how it unfolded: We entered a thicket and emerged into a small clearing. I spotted a hare running along the edge of the field, clearly flushed out by hunters who had gone further ahead.

Hunting season in East Belgium In East Belgium hunting can be carried out in an expansive forested area spanning some 45,000 hectares (111,000 acres). The right to hunt there can be obtained by leasing a hunting ground of at least 50 hectares (123 acres) from the forest owners (the Walloon region, the municipalities or the private owners). This lease runs for 6, 9 or 12 years. It goes without saying that every hunter must hold a hunting licence which is obtained by passing a suitable examination. In East Belgium, game predominantly consists of stags, deer and wild boars, the hunting of which is strictly organised by legislation and the large gamekeeping communities. Contrary to popular belief, hunting is not only organised for the pleasure of hunters but, above all, for the purpose of regulating the number of animals in the forest so that the economic utilisation of the forest is ensured.

Another shot of the fox I photographed yesterday while driving on Farmer's Loop here in Fairbanks. If you look closely, you can see it's frosty breath around it's muzzle. It's in the exact same spot as the other shot with the exception of the head position. I thought it was a crossfox, but I've had one person say may be a silverfox, and another friend say a melanistic red fox, which is a broad term to mean a red fox with a non standard coloration. I've seen a few non-standard foxes in the East Fairbanks area that I suspect are related, this one included. All within about a six mile radius of each other. This is an area large enough that they are not the same individual, but may be family members.Post: 17 October 17:47

The Hanoverian Scenthound: A Tracker's Reliable Partner For serious hunters who prioritize accuracy and perseverance above all else, the Hanoverian Scenthound ( Hannoverscher Schweisshund) deserves a close look. This isn't a flashy, multi-purpose breed, but a highly specialized tracking dog bred for one thing: relentlessly pursuing wounded game. Quarry: What a Hanoverian Scenthound Hunts The Hanoverian Scenthound's forte is tracking wounded ungulates. That means deer (primarily red deer, roe deer, and fallow deer), wild boar, and, in some regions, elk or moose. They are not typically used for birds, small game, or predators. Their focus is solely on following the scent trail of blood or disturbed ground left by injured animals. Where You'll Find Them Hunting Historically developed in Germany, the Hanoverian Scenthound's heartland remains in Central Europe. You'll find them actively working in: Germany: Especially in areas with large forested hunting grounds. Austria: Similar terPost: 15 March 01:45
