Britská asociace <strong>pro</strong> střelbu a ochranu přírody (BASC) oznámila, že první tři legislativní změny významné <strong>pro</strong> chov spárkaté zvěře ve Skot

Britská asociace pro střelbu a ochranu přírody (BASC) oznámila, že první tři legislativní změny významné pro chov spárkaté zvěře ve Skotsku vstoupily v platnost ke konci října. Došlo k tomu po konzultacích se skotskou vládou probíhajících od začátku roku 2023. První ze změn je, že od 21. října 2023 byla zrušena omezená doba lovu samců všech druhů jelenovitých (jelen evropský, daněk evropský, sika, srnec obecný). Znamená to, že jejich odstřel nyní ve Skotsku může probíhat po celý rok. Přestože BASC byla proti tomuto návrhu, uznává, že může odstranit určité překážky v managementu populací jelenovitých. BASC však i nadále prosazuje, aby v zimních měsících bylo prioritou dosažení plánovaného odstřelu holé zvěře. Cílem skotské vlády je snížit škody působené zvěří při obnově lesa a celková redukce stavů zvěře. Protiargumenty však upozorňovaly na to, že opatření může mít naopak kontraproduktivní účinek, kdy subjekty hospodařící se zvěří kvůli němu mohou zanedbávat odstřel samičí zvěře, jejíž

Puškohled Bushnell NITRO 1-6x24 i+ Řadu NITRO nabízí Bushnell v kategorii střední třídy. Dalekohledy a puškohledy NITRO jsou na trhu už od roku 2018, nicméně model, o kterém čtete, je horká novinka letošního léta, která cílí na evropský trh. NITRO 1-6x24 i+ je na rozdíl od zavedeného modelu NITRO 1-6x24 AR vybaven oblíbeným křížem G4, jehož střed je červeně podsvícený. Puškohled nalezne uplatnění na sportovních i loveckých zbraních. Optické zvětšení, hmotnost a rozměry determinují puškohled pro aktivní způsob lovu. Při malém zvětšení 1-2x oceníte možnost střílet na krátké vzdálenosti s oběma očima otevřenými. Užitím zvětšení 3-6x bez problému „dosáhnete“ na sto a více metrů. Červeně podsvícenou tečku ve středu osnovy využijete pro výrazně rychlejší nalezení polohy oka a při míření na pohybující se cíl. Za hlavní benefit tohoto druhu puškohledů považuji zorné pole, které je v minimálním zvětšení dokonce 38 m ve 100 metrech.

Omezení použití LUP v pásmu AMP již jen na naháňkách černé zvěře Změna mimořádných veterinárních opatření týkající se afrického moru prasat na Liberecku K 1.9.2023 upravila Státní veterinární správa (SVS) mimořádná veterinární opatření (MVO) ve vztahu k africkému moru prasat (AMP) na Liberecku. První změna se týká přesunů domácích prasat z oblastí mimo uzavřená pásma do pásem I a II. Doposud platilo, že pro tyto přesuny bylo nutné dopředu získat veterinární osvědčení, až poté bylo možné přesun realizovat. Od nynějška stačí takovýto přesun pouze předem nahlásit Státní veterinární správě prostřednictvím webového formuláře, a to nejméně 48 hodin před přesunem. Tuto povinnost má chovatel v uzavřených pásmech, ke kterému se prasata přemísťují. Důvodem popsané změny je zjednodušení administrativy a také to, že mimo uzavřená pásma platí ve vztahu k AMP dobrá nákazová situace. Povinnost veterinárního osvědčení pro přesuny prasat domácích z uzavřených pásem mimo tato území naopak z důvodu vys

Zvěřina se vzhledem ke svému složení právem řadí mezi dieteticky nejhodnotnější potraviny, neboť se vyznačuje vysokým obsahem bílkovin s velkou biologickou hodnotou a současně velmi nízkým obsahem tuku, který přitom ale má významný podíl pro lidský organizmus velmi hodnotných nenasycených mastných kyselin. Chuť zvěřiny je druhově specifická, což znamená, že je u jednotlivých druhů zvěře odlišná a pro daný druh charakteristická. Její barva je tmavě červená s výrazně sytějším odstínem než má maso hospodářských zvířat. To je částečně dáno tím, že zvěř není porážena s následným, téměř kompletním vykrvením, ale bývá usmrcena ulovením, přičemž v její svalovině i přes částečné vykrvení při vyvržení a otevření velkých cév zůstává určitý podíl krve. Navíc má zvěřina v porovnání s masem hospodářských zvířat mnohem vyšší obsah svalového barviva myoglobinu, který také ve značné míře přispívá k jejímu výraznému zbarvení.

Best Dog Breeds for Shed Hunters A pro trainer weighs in on the traits you should look for in an antler-finding dog At the beginning of every shed hunting season, I always imagine the treasure trove of deer antlers I will find. Then, reality sets in. I end up with a few good antlers, a bunch of dinks, and some weird stuff. This year, I found a ram’s horn. Last year, it was a toilet seat. At the end of it all, I always think about what a good year it would’ve been if I’d just gotten a dang antler dog. That sparked a conversation with Dog Bone’s Jeremy Moore about the best dog breeds for shed hunters. “I don’t know if there is such a thing,” Moore says. “I think it depends completely on matching you with the right dog. It’s a stylistic and preference thing more than anything.” So, if you were hoping for a definitive list of the top 10 shed hunting breeds, this isn’t it. The good news is, you have a real chance of getting the dog you already have – or the one you want – to start finding a

Rhino Hunting in Africa: A Comprehensive Guide for the Experienced Hunter Rhino hunting in Africa remains a highly controversial and tightly regulated activity. This article provides an overview for hunters considering this pursuit, focusing on the legal aspects, methods, locations, and ethical considerations. Please note: This article does not endorse or encourage illegal or unethical hunting practices. Rhino populations are fragile, and all hunting must be conducted legally, sustainably, and in accordance with conservation guidelines. Understanding the Basics Rhino hunting is legal in a few African countries, primarily as a conservation tool. These hunts are strictly controlled and often target older, post-reproductive males that are negatively impacting younger rhinos. The funds generated from these hunts are, in theory, channeled directly back into anti-poaching efforts and community conservation programs.

Podivný přírůstek u divočáků v brněnské oboře. Pro netradiční zbarvení selat není vysvětlení Netradičně si zahrály geny u divočáků v brněnské oboře Holedná, kam míří na procházky tisíce lidí. Z pěti selátek mají tři klasické a všem dobře známé pruhované zbarvení, dvě jsou ale bílá s černými tečkami a připomínají spíše buclaté dalmatiny. Nejde o výsledek křížení s domácími prasaty. Pro podivné zabarvení selátek nemají odborníci vysvětlení. Na Holedné se navíc v minulosti již podobná selata narodila. Toto zbarvení by jim mělo zůstat po celý život, řekla Novinkám Monika Neshybová z vedení společnosti Lesy města Brna, která v oboře hospodaří. Selata-dalmatini se jinak ničím neliší od těch ostatních. Nemají rudé oči a nejde tedy o albinismus. Ve volné přírodě by patrně dlouho nepřežila. Pruhované zbarvení totiž selata chrání před predátory tím, že splynou s okolím. Barva srsti divokých prasat kolísá od černé přes rudohnědou, rezavě hnědou až po hnědožlutou. Pravděpodobně nějak souvisí se

Zámek Hluboká nad Vltavou

Zámek Hluboká nad Vltavou Hluboká je dnes významnou loveckou památkou. Zámek však nikdy loveckým hradem ani zámkem nebyl. Již v dobách 1. světové války a druhé polovině 19. století sloužil jako základna pro pořádání tzv. hlubocké honební sezóny, která zde byla pořádána každoročně pro vybranou společnost Schwarzenbergů. Samotné hony trvaly 14 dnů a po roce 1907 pouze 6 dnů. Lovila se okolní zvěř drobná. Ve Staré oboře se pořádaly naháňky na zvěř černou, daňky a muflony. Do roku 1913 se zde pořádaly také parforsní hony. Samotný výřad ulovené zvěře spárkaté se konal na nádvoří hlubockého zámku. Historie: Zámek Hluboká byl původně založen jako strážný hrad v polovině 13. století českými králi a jako královsky majetek byl dáván často do zástavy. V držení se zde vystřídalo několik šlechtických rodů. Mezi významné patřili např. Pernštejnové, kteří založili v roce 1940 nedaleký rybník Bezdrev, rozlohou druhý největší v Čechách. Významný šlechtický rod pánů z Hradce zakoupil hlubocké

Lov Jelena lesního a jeho historie

Lov Jelena lesního a jeho historie Jelen evropský byl vždy mezi myslivci označován jako zvěř královská, a toto označení se nevytratilo ani z každodenní myslivecké terminologie.Lze se jen domnívat, že vše bylo zapříčiněno velikostí a krásou této zvěře, mohutností paroží a faktu, že v dřívějších dobách směli tuto zvěř lovit výhradně příslušníci šlechtického rodu. Také v dnešní době je ulovení jelena pro každého myslivce nezapomenutelným zážitkem na celý život. O prvních způsobech lovu jelení zvěře nejsou dochovány nijak zvláštní zajímavosti. Lov probíhal pomocí luku a kladení různých pastí v podobě vykopaných jam či stavění nástražných ohrad. Později se velkou oblibou panovníků staly jezdecké štvanice za pomoci smečky loveckých psů. O způsobu takovýchto štvanic jsou dochovány zmínky v období od 10. do 14 století za vlád Přemyslovců a Lucemburků. V období 14. století se také začaly na našem území hojněji stavět obory právě pro jelení zvěř. Jelen byl tedy první oborní zvěří u nás. P

Muži mají pro myslivecký spolek žen pochopení, myslivkyně často i skvěle střílí Diana, první český myslivecký spolek žen, eviduje mírný nárůst počtu členek. Má jich přes 90, hlavně z jižních Čech, věnují se především lesní pedagogice. Zároveň také skvěle střílí, starají se o krmelce, působí i jako honci. Muži myslivci mají pro své kolegyně pochopení. Na písecké lesnické škole, kde dřív bývali hlavně studenti, je dnes poměr dívek a chlapců vyvážený. Řekla to 7. října na akci Den zemědělců, potravinářů a venkova okresu Tábor členka spolku Hana Schläferová. Akce přilákala stovky lidí, prohlédli si skot i zemědělskou techniku, kupovali výrobky místních farem jako med či jablka, velká fronta byla na burčák. „Pochopení mužů, že i žena patří do myslivosti, je veliké. Dřív to možná nebylo moc typické, ale v posledních 20 letech jsme se nesetkaly s tím, že by někdo na ženy pohlížel svrchu. Když se žena začne věnovat myslivosti, tak to dělá na 100 procent, a dost často jsou ženy myslivkyně i lep

Wisconsin wildlife officials won't seek charges against bow hunter who killed cougar MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin wildlife officials say they won’t seek charges against a bow hunter who killed a cougar. The Department of Natural Resources said in a news release Wednesday that the bow hunter shot the animal in Buffalo County and self-reported the incident to the agency’s violation hotline on Nov. 11. The department said an investigation showed the bow hunter was hunting deer when the hunter encountered the cougar and shot it in self-defense. The department news release does not identify the hunter or the hunter’s gender. Cougar sightings in Wisconsin are rare but have been increasing over the last 20 years. Cougars are native to Wisconsin but were extirpated from the state in the early 1900s. DNR officials say cougars seen in Wisconsin are likely dispersing from established populations in the western United States. Dispersing cougars rarely stay in one location for long and have

Winchester Vulkan SXR Semi-Automatic Rifle, 30-06 Caliber, 650mm Barrel Review As an avid shooter and hunter, I had the opportunity to test the Winchester Vulkan SXR semi-automatic rifle in 30-06 caliber, with a 650mm barrel, and I would like to share my thoughts on its performance, features, and overall value. Pros: Reliability: The Vulkan SXR has shown great reliability during my testing. The semi-automatic action cycles smoothly, and I experienced no jams or misfeeds, even with various types of ammunition. This is critical for any hunt, where a second shot may be necessary. Accuracy: With a 650mm barrel, I was surprised by the rifle's accuracy. At ranges up to 100 meters, the groups were tight, allowing for precise shot placement. This caliber is known for its flat trajectory, and the Vulkan SXR does it justice. Comfortable Ergonomics: The rifle features a well-designed stock that fits comfortably against the shoulder. The adjustable cheek piece is a thoughtful addition, allo

Do Biologists Listen to <strong>Hunters</strong>?
Reality is, wildlife managers listen more than many believe — but <strong>hunters</strong> have to listen in return, too

Do Biologists Listen to Hunters? Reality is, wildlife managers listen more than many believe — but hunters have to listen in return, too Although such situations can be frustrating, officials say open dialogue is the key to bridging the gap between hunters and biologists. Butler believes that starts with giving hunters real-world numbers. “Here in Mississippi, we have great deal of data on what real hunters see and hear while in the field based on the observations they record as a part of our Spring Gobbler Hunting Survey,” he said. “Over the past 20 years, hunters in Mississippi hear between one and two gobblers per hunt, on average. Hunts in which more than four gobblers are heard only happen on about six to eight trips out of every 100. Most properties only harvest about one gobbler per 500 acres, on average. These numbers don’t sound eye-popping, but they’ve been pretty consistent through time and should help us all really appreciate those rare days when the woods are on fire and
