I've put it through its paces in various environments, from dense forests to open fields, and here's my honest assessment. Pros: Image Quality: The 640x480 resolution delivers exceptional image clarity. The details are sharp, and thermal signatures are easily distinguishable, making it perfect for spotting wildlife at a distance. The enhanced sensitivity also allows for great performance in low-contrast scenarios. Compact and Lightweight: Weighing in at just under 500 grams, the Axion 3 is incredibly portable. It fits snugly in my hand and can be easily stowed in a backpack without taking much space, making it ideal for long hikes. User-Friendly Interface: The intuitive controls and the clear display make it easy to operate in t

Review of BAUER HD 2-12x50 L7 Optical Scope I recently had the pleasure of testing the BAUER HD 2-12x50 L7 optical scope, and I must say, it has been an impressive addition to my shooting gear. Proudly made in Germany, this scope combines quality craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology, which is evident in both its performance and design. Optical Clarity: One of the standout features of the BAUER HD scope is its optical clarity. The lenses are multi-coated, providing excellent light transmission even in low-light conditions. This is a critical factor for hunters and shooters who may find themselves in the field during dawn or dusk. I was able to spot distant targets with remarkable precision, with vibrant colors and sharp details. Magnification Range: The variable magnification of 2-12x allows for versatility in various shooting scenarios. Whether I needed to focus on a close-range target or zoom in on something far away, the adjustment was smooth and reliable. The scope mainta

Scheme to protect hen harriers in England a waste of money, says wildlife group Wild Justice says government initiative to relocate broods away from grouse moors ‘rewards past crimes’ of illegal killing A £900,000 government scheme to “meddle” with nests of hen harriers is a waste of money and rewards those who kill them, a wildlife campaign group has said. The claims are contained in a report produced by Wild Justice and released to coincide with the Glorious Twelfth, the official start of the grouse shooting season, on Saturday. Grouse moor gamekeepers have historically killed hen harriers illegally because they eat smaller birds, including grouse. Since the start of a government brood management scheme in 2018, 98 hen harriers have been confirmed as missingin suspicious circumstances or are known to have been illegally killed in the UK, many of them on or close to English grouse moors. In order to combat the problem of the birds, which are endangered in the UK, continually going

Soldiers of the elite guard unit of the Iranian Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in a leopard skin uniform, 1960, Tehran. Persian leopards are one of the largest subspecies of leopards in the world. Their body length ranges from 126 to 183 cm, and their tail is 94-116 cm long. The skull is 20-25 cm long in males and 20-22 cm in females. The upper teeth of males reach a length of 68-75 mm, in females they are 64-67 mm. The height of the animal is approximately 76 cm, the average weight reaches 70 kg. In general, it is a very cautious and secretive animal. A leopard usually tries to hide, but when defending itself, it can even attack humans. He chooses gorges with streams or dense thickets as shelters. In deciduous forests, it can climb high into trees. It is not afraid of frosts and heat, but the predator usually stays far from reservoirs. The distribution range of this subspecies is quite wide, starting from the Main Caucasian Ridge and continuing to the Red Sea, and from the Bosphorus Ch

SPEARFISHING IN TUSCANY AT THE "ISOLA DEL GIGLIO" WITH JACOPO AND TIZIANA What is your spearfishing philosophy? We both love speafishing the big ones in open waters. We both live this passion as a real lifestyle rather than as a sport, we don’t like to call it that way, and we don’t like the competition environment either as it tends to keep the challenge spirit among men. The real essence of this activity instead is diving in to the water to be part of something bigger. Where are your usual fishing spots? We live in Umbria away from the sea, only 110km away is the Adriatic sea but the fishes we like to spear cannot be found in that portion of sea so we need to face a week-end out to get to the gorgeous Giglio island in Tuscany. There we have a small house on rent, a small dinghy that we share with another friend and all the equipment we need to catch big snappers. Which techniques do you prefer? We are used to spear fish with crawling and waiting technique either in shallo

Geschichte der Glattrohrwaffen Den meisten Historikern zufolge wurde Schießpulver im 11. Jahrhundert in China erfunden. Mit der Zeit gelangte das Wissen über seine Herstellung auch nach Europa. Die allerersten Handfeuerwaffen erschienen im 14. Jahrhundert und verfügten über eine Luntenschlosszündung und Vorderladerkonstruktion. Im 15. Jahrhundert waren Arkebusen zu einer gängigen Waffe in den europäischen Armeen geworden. Im 16. Jahrhundert erschienen in Spanien die ersten Steinschlossgewehre. Dieser neue Mechanismus machte das Schießen einfacher und den Zündzeitpunkt vorhersehbarer als das frühere Luntenschlosssystem. Etwa zur gleichen Zeit tauchten die ersten Erwähnungen von Patronen für Vorderladerflinten auf. Diese Patronen bestanden aus einem mit Schießpulver und einer Kugel gefüllten Papierzylinder. Vor dem Abfeuern riss der Schütze die Patrone auf, schüttete etwas Schießpulver auf die Sicherungsplatte und gab den Rest in den Lauf. Die Kugel wurde in Papier eingewickelt und mit

Nature’s best friend: Scientists train dogs to sniff out dangerous invasive species Dogs can sniff out invasive fish in lakes without even seeing them, new research suggests. In lakes and rivers around the world, carp are wreaking havoc on local species. Native to central Asia, these common fish infest freshwater lakes and rivers, outcompeting other animals. But scientists have discovered a new tool in the fight against the invasive creature - the powerful nose of man’s best friend. According to a study by Australian and New Zealand scientists, specially-trained canines can detect whether invasive carp are present in water. In fact, they’re even better than lab tools. “(Our) findings suggest that dogs could provide an accurate and highly sensitive method of invasive fish detection,” the study authors write.

Picking the Best Rifle and Caliber for Pig Hunting Do you need a magnum setup or a fast-shooting semi-auto? Probably, your deer rifle will work just fine Large wild pigs can move with a grace and silence that’s starkly at odds with their appearance. The boar that emerged from the thicket next to us did it without a sound, and he was comically large. My 7-year-old son, Anse, spotted him, and by the time he said something and I looked up, the pig was walking straight away from our box stand, headed to the feeder 60 yards away. “Look at the size of the nuts on that thing!” Anse whispered. Indeed, it appeared as if the pig was toting a pair of darkened, medium-sized cantaloupes. As the boar settled on the bait, I helped Anse steady his rifle, a bolt-action .300 Blackout, in the window frame of the box blind. It was early, maybe 4 p.m., when we snuck into the blind, and the Central Texas sun was still hot. I’d barely closed the bolt on the little rifle when a mix of 25 pigs—sows and shoat

How many crocodile teeth? What is special about crocodile teeth? How strong is a crocodile bite? The teeth of the crocodiles order are remarkable (and they are placed in a reinforced skull with the most powerful biting muscles). Do crocodiles lose their teeth with age? Extant crocodiles are polyphiodonts, that is, their teeth are continually replaced during a large part of their life. Firstly, each tooth is renewed in 1-2 years (their teeth are hollow inside, and brand-new and sharp teeth develop in these cavities as they wear out). Secondly, unlike most reptiles, crocodiles have a peculiar differentiation of teeth in size, shape, and even function. At the beginning of each jaw, there are four large canine teeth that serve to effectively capture prey. In the middle of the jaw, the teeth are thicker, increase in length more evenly and form a kind of scissor bite that allows you to cut the fillets of the deceased corpse of the captured victim. At the base of the jaw, the teeth expa

Snowy mountain goats are fearless rock conquerors. Snow mountain goats (Latin Oreamnos americanus) belong to the heavy type, the largest individuals reach 95-105 cm at the withers, and weigh more than 120 kg. But the horns of these goats are small – only 21-30 cm. The snowy mountain goat was found in western North America. The main range in the USA is the mountain ranges of the states of Idaho, Montana and southeastern Alaska, in Canada — the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, and the southern Yukon territory. The species has also been settled on the Olympic Peninsula, as far as the center of Alaska, as well as in Nevada, Colorado and Wyoming. The snowy mountain goat is a mountain animal that lives in hard—to-reach places, above the forest border, and is often found in summer at altitudes even above 3,000 meters above sea level. It feeds on grasses and lichens, and tolerates frosts up to -40 ° C. It keeps small herds. Although mountain goats were never domesticated or used for

How the return of poaching threatens India’s tiger success story The poachers who killed T32 in India’s Madhya Pradesh had a simple plan, and executed it at night. Running wire through a field and applying a strong current, they electrocuted the tigress as she patrolled her territory, beating her to death after she lost consciousness. They then pulled out her canines, whiskers and claws before dumping the body in a village well, weighted down by a stone. T32 was declared missing by rangers, until three days later the stone gave way and her remains floated up to the surface of the well. The grim image of the tigress’s mutilated body floating in the water sent ripples of outrage through the conservation community. Here in the dense forests in the heart of central India, the reserves of Madhya Pradesh are playing a crucial role in what the government says is the success story of Project Tiger. Launched 50 years ago, the country’s flagship conservation programme has seen tiger numbers r

An unusual hunt. Best regards to all!I don't know if you're interested in it, but it's a true story, happened in Poland, Lithuania and Belarus. Sincerely. "This is a historical novel, based on a true story that happened during the First World War, on the Eastern Front, in the winter of 1916-17 and which was disclosed and followed by newspapers such as the New York Times. A pack of wolves made up of hundreds of specimens, due to the destruction of the conflict, began to attack and devour not only civilians but also Russian, German and Austro-Hungarian soldiers isolated or in small groups, penetrating even the trenches at night. The belligerent armies were forced to enter into a local truce and form mixed patrols to track down and exterminate the pack. They succeeded but only after several months.

Three-eyed predator stalked the seas 500 million years ago Stanleycaris hirpex, which lived in the Cambrian period, had two protruding eyes on the side of its head and a larger eye in the centre A three-eyed animal with wing-like fins once swam through shallow seas, using heightened visual perception to hunt smaller sea animals. Stanleycaris hirpex lived in the Cambrian Period about 500 million years ago, not long after the first eyes appeared in the fossil record. It is the first animal with three eyes known among the arthropods, the group containing insects, arachnids and crustaceans, but the researchers who described it think there may be others in which a third eye has been overlooked. S. hirpex was roughly the size of a human hand and had two protruding eyes with hundreds of lenses on each side of its head, plus a third, much larger eye in the middle. Living among finger-sized animals, it probably used its advanced visual system to chase down fast-moving prey, says Joseph Moys

The Barn Owl is a nocturnal raptor measuring nearly 40 cm, with a wingspan of nearly a metre. It has a characteristic face, heart-shaped, white plumage on its breast and mottled yellow-brown on its back and wings. Its legs are feathered right down to its claws. The wing-feathers have a flexible edge and sound-absorbent down, in such a way that it flies noiseless and thus surprises its prey, essentially small rodents. Highly useful in countrysides, this bird however has had a bad reputation in the past; its disturbing appearance, its hoots and its nocturnal activity in attics and bell-towers frightened the credulous and the Barn Owl was thought to be a harbinger of misfortune: in order to dispel that bad augur, they used to be killed and nailed to barn doors – not so long ago by the way… Sedentary, the Barn Own spends the winter without migrating. It nests on the ground or in niches of towers and barns, laying from 4 to 13 eggs which hatch after approximately two weeks; the older chi

ELK RETURN TO NORTH CAROLINA It took about 20 years, but elk have returned to the Cataloochee Valley in North Carolina. Once native to the Tar Heel State, eastern elk vanished in the 1800s due to human encroachment on key habitat. However, now, while exact numbers are still to be determined, elk are back in the Great Smoky Mountains in Southern Appalachian, the Citizen Times reports. Wildlife biologist Joseph Yarkovich has been involved with the project since its beginnings and hopes to one day “have one large, contiguous population throughout the East Coast again,” but adds, “that’s still way, way down the road.” For now, those involved with the elk recovery project are hoping to obtain an accurate population count. “What we’ve been doing up until now is conducting a minimum count,” said Yarkovich. “The park in collaboration with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and the North Carolina Wildlife Commission will coordinate for three days in a row to count as many elk as we can s
