How can a young lady protect you in case of a polar bear attack? The photos shows KLM flight attendant Joanna Van Duffelen, with a Fairchild Armalite AR–10 combat rifle, dressed in Arctic clothing. Photo 1959. The work of flight attendants and stewards begins long before the departure of the aircraft and does not end immediately after landing. The main thing in this job is not food and drinks, but the safety of passengers in any critical situation. In 1958, KLM launched transarctic flights from Amsterdam to Tokyo with refueling in Anchorage. It was the era of motor aircraft at the dawn of mass passenger aviation. The company paid special attention to the risk of an emergency landing in the Arctic. Each plane carried a set of survival equipment. As you can see, KLM Dutch Airlines flight attendant Joanna is ready for the rigors of life in the Arctic. Ms. Van Duffelen is wearing Arctic survival gear aboard every KLM plane flying the polar route from Amsterdam to Tokyo. The set cons

The pearl hunter. Saudi Arabia, 1935. The incredible radiance of Arabian pearls is due to the unique environment in which the shellfish live. The water in the Arabian Gulf is salty and sweet at the same time, that is why the mother–of–pearl, the inner layer of the shells, is much brighter and more saturated in local pearls than in Europe. The extraction of pearls in the waters of the Persian Gulf began about 7,000 years ago, as evidenced by the triangular stone anchors found on its bottom with holes in the middle – they were used on boats of fishermen and divers, and the first written mentions of outlandish pearls from the East can be found in the works of ancient authors of the III-IV centuries BC. Later, stories about pearls appeared on the pages of the Koran, and there its value was emphasized, which is justified – even then it was valued all over the world as the best precious stones. Pearls from the Arabian Gulf began to come the European market in large numbers after 1643, wh

Where to find pheasants In the afternoon, divided into pairs, pheasants feed right there near the current location, most often on sunflower and wheat crops. By the evening, about four o'clock, the males begin to call to each other again. When they meet, they fight among themselves. The current of pheasants continues until mid-June. The roosters scream especially hard after the females sit on the eggs. It happens from about the middle of May. The male does not take part in incubation, at this time he shouts intensely and runs around in search of single females. The hen lays from 10 to 15 eggs. She makes a nest somewhere in the reeds or in the thick grass under a thorny bush. After twenty-five days of incubation, in the first half of June, the chicks hatch. They emerge from eggs in thick down and with stumps, that is, contour feathers that begin to develop; they quickly grow flight feathers, and then they can escape from enemies by flying up trees. In the second half of August,

THE GREATEST BOWHUNTER I EVER KNEW was born 121 years ago today. We shook hands for the first time in 1972 at the Pope and Young Club Convention and Awards Banquet in Denver, and our paths crossed frequently thereafter until his death in 1988. And like millions of other archers and bowhunters of that era, I was a big Fred Bear fan and longtime supporter of the legendary man in the Borsalino hat. Special personal memories include visits to the Bear Archery plant and Fred Bear Museum in Grayling, Michigan, before the company's production facility relocated to Florida; the annual Anderson Archery clinics and seminar stage we shared each June in front of large and appreciative crowds in Grand Ledge; and his final appearance at the P&Y gathering in Tulsa when we said our goodbyes one last time the year before his passing. Still, I'm eternally thankful that I could work with Pope and Young founder Glenn St. Charles, Papa Bear, and other club officers as Editor of the very first P&Y record

Your November Rut Playbook In the northern and central states and Canada, the whitetail rut is about to explode in a frenzy that anyone with their eyes open will notice as bucks heedlessly cross farm fields, suburban yards and roads in their furious search for does in estrus. But the rut isn’t just a time of frenzy. The seeking, chasing and breeding phases of the rut that occur in November across much of the whitetail’s range often require different strategies. Here’s a week-by-week guide to staying in step with the rut this month to up your odds of tagging the buck you want. November 1-7 Halloween is just gone but some of the trees are still pumpkin orange. The fallen leaves have a fresh, damp, musky smell in the early morning. Saplings have been rubbed raw along field edges and all over the woods, and scrapes seem to be everywhere. The young bucks are harassing does now like exuberant teenagers, but the older bucks, though they are scraping and rubbing, aren’t yet moving hard in sea

Brno ZH 304 12/7x57R: A Practical Hunter's Tool With Quirks My honest take on the Brno ZH 304 12/7x57R, based on my own experience as a hunter and gun enthusiast. Forget the marketing fluff, this is real-world feedback. The Brno ZH 304. It's a name that conjures up images of tough Eastern European hunters, thick forests, and game taken with precision. This combination gun/double rifle has a certain appeal, a no-nonsense functionality that attracts those who value practicality over flashy aesthetics. I've owned and used one for several seasons, primarily for driven hunts and pursuing boar in close cover, and I've developed a complex relationship with it. The Good: Versatility: This is the ZH 304's biggest selling point. The combination of a 12-gauge shotgun barrel and a 7x57R rifle barrel makes it adaptable to a wide range of hunting situations. You can transition from birds to deer to boar with a simple barrel selector. For a hunter who wants a single gun that can do almost anythin

Leupold VX-3 4.5-14x50 Scope Review I recently had the opportunity to test the Leupold VX-3 4.5-14x50 rifle scope, and I wanted to share my thoughts on this product after extensive use in various hunting scenarios. Build Quality and Design First and foremost, the build quality of the VX-3 is top-notch. Leupold is known for its durable optics, and the VX-3 is no exception. The housing is made from a solid aluminum alloy, and it feels robust and can withstand the rigors of outdoor use. The matte finish reduces glare, which is a nice touch for hunters looking to remain undetected. One of the standout features of this scope is its weight. At just over 14 ounces, it strikes a balance between being lightweight for easy carry and sturdy for reliable performance. The 50mm objective lens is a significant factor as well, allowing for excellent light transmission, which is crucial for low-light conditions like early dawn or late dusk.

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

How to Hunt Alaska on a Budget Have You Ever Tried This? Alaska hunting is the stuff of dreams, yet many convince themselves it’s beyond their reach. This is easy to understand, as guided Alaska hunts are some of the most expensive around. Single-species hunts for mountain goat, dall sheep and brown bear run anywhere from $9,000 to $14,000. A guided hunt for even “commonplace” barren ground caribou might finance a multi-species hunt in southern Africa. For the average working stiff, a do-it-yourself hunt is the only way to enjoy such an expedition. If daunted by such an adventure, especially its costs, I understand. Yet, after 10 Alaska forays of my own, I’m here to say that with plenty of advanced planning and a meager savings-account grab-stake, an Alaska hunt is well within grasp. While the sexiest Alaskan species require the non-resident to hire an outfitter by law, many don’t. These include barren ground caribou, Alaska-Yukon moose, Sitka blacktail deer and black bear — all anima

How to Plant a Deer Orchard Should fruit trees be part of your program? Check out these tips for starting new trees Lush fields of clover, alfalfa and brassicas aren’t the only crops that will hold deer on your property. Once established, fruit trees can produce highly attractive forage for 40 years or more. The right trees produce edible fruit throughout the entire hunting season, drawing deer from a distance and holding them on your property. Select the Right Tree Deer will readily consume apples, pears, plums, persimmons, and mulberries. By planting a variety of trees, you can ensure at least one ripe food source throughout the season. Most fruit varieties are available in dwarf, semi-dwarf and standard sizes. Dwarf varieties mature around 8- to 10-feet tall and wide. They’re suitable for small spaces and can stand up to high winds better than larger trees. Their height also makes it easier for deer to reach fruit before it falls to the ground, though the small size of these trees

Wyoming reduces number of mule deer and antelope tags There will be fewer tags for Wyoming mule deer and antelope this year. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WGFD) decided to reduce the number of tags due to disease and drought, according to Wyoming Public Radio. EHD, or blue tongue, has impacted herds and continuing drought means more competition for available forage. Ian Tator, WGFD’s terrestrial habitat manager, says that “elk will out compete mule deer and [antelope] for vegetation.” “We had an outbreak of blue tongue this last summer, which just means there are that many less animals available,” says Tator. “If those animals aren't there to begin with, we're not going to issue licenses for them.” This means that WGFD will cut the number of antelope licenses by 8,000 and mule deer licenses by 3,300 for the 2022 hunting season. However, there will be an increase in elk tags, which Tator hopes will “give the mule deer and [antelope] populations a chance to grow.” “We're trying t

The lion's share of wild 🦁 lions live in Africa. And a smaller 🤏 part in Asia. Actually, that's all, just two continents. Statistics say that in Africa, these beautiful animals living in the wild are distributed as follows: 🇹🇿 Tanzania - about 8,000 🇿🇦 South Africa - more than 2,000 🇰🇪 Kenya - just under 2,000 🇿🇲 Zambia - under a thousand individuals 🇲🇿 Mozambique - one and a half thousand 🇿🇼 Zimbabwe - 1,700 And much less in other African countries. The total population of lions in Africa is about 22.5 thousand individuals. This is not much, which is why an African lion trophy is so valuable emotionally and materially.

Creating a Tribal Restoration Workforce The rain slowly fell on a cool May morning as a small crowd of people gathered in a pullout alongside an old logging road in Ketchikan. The blend of official U.S. Forest Service vehicles and uniforms intermixed with private vehicles and casual clothes gave a clue to the diversity of people in attendance. The crowd was comprised of varied backgrounds and employers. Tribal members, hydrologists, fisheries biologists, chainsaw crews, and various staff were all there for one thing: to teach and learn the skills necessary to restore streams and improve fish habitat in the Tongass National Forest. In the summer of 2021, the Forest Service announced their plan to move away from large scale, old-growth logging in the Tongass and instead invest in restoration, recreation, and forest resilience. This new strategy is welcome news on the Tongass, which is part of the largest intact temperate rainforest on the planet, and the robust tourism economy and subs

Two Idaho wolves kill 143 sheep in freak "pile up" Two wolves are responsible for the deaths of 143 sheep in Idaho’s Boise Foothills. The “pile-up” occurred in mid-May and, following an investigation conducted by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) and Wildlife Services, officials determined that two wolves “caused the sheep to flee in panic,” which caused them to “crush or suffocate each other” as they tried to escape, according to a press release. During the investigation, Wildlife Services discovered two sets of wolf tracks in the same location as the incident. While permission was given to remove the problem wolves if found, officials were unable to locate the animals. “This sadly exemplifies why wolf management in Idaho can be so challenging,” said IDFG Director Ed Schriever. “People cherish the Foothills for its diversity of wildlife, along with the opportunities for grazing, recreation and other activities. In this instance, a pair of wolves caused a significant loss

The sable is a mammal of the genus of martens. It is widespread in the forest zone of Siberia, the edge of its range extends to the north of Eastern Europe. The body length of the sable is 32-58 cm, the tail is 9-17 cm, and the weight is 0.9—1.8 kg. Males are larger than females. Sable fur is one of the most valuable, which is why sable has been exterminated for centuries. On the other hand, the extraction of sable and the trade in sable fur has long served as one of the significant income items in the Russian economy. Sable is of great importance in Russian culture and traditions. In some Russian folk wedding songs, the sable is the personification of the groom, while the paired character, the bride, is the marten. The images of the groom are especially clear, as the sable appears in the North Russian wedding songs. In the Belarusian tradition, a young couple is symbolized by a sable and a squirrel. Sable is of particular importance in the Buryat culture. The sable was a totemic a
