Review of the Antonio Zoli 1900 Pro Bolt Action Rifle, Caliber .300 Win Mag
As an avid hunter with years of experience under my belt, I’ve had the opportunity to put a variety of rifles to the test. Recently, I acquired the Antonio Zoli 1900 Pro in .300 Win Mag, and I want to share my thoughts on this Italian bolt-action rifle.
Pros:
Build Quality: The first thing that strikes you about the Zoli 1900 Pro is the craftsmanship. The stock is made from high-quality walnut, providing not only aesthetic appeal but also a solid grip. The checkering is finely done, allowing for a secure hold even in wet conditions.
Accuracy: Upon taking this rifle to the range, I was immediately impressed by its accuracy. It groups tightly even with factory ammunition, and after some load development, I was able to achieve sub-MOA groups. This level of precision is crucial for ethical hunting, especially at longer distances.
Smooth Action: The bolt action is incredibly smooth. You can feel the precision e
Eskimos started using sunglasses more than a thousand years ago! Incredibly, but it’s a fact.
We have already written recently that Inuit (Eskimos) invented some items that are now used by all of humanity. As for example, a waterproof fabric, an anorak jacket and a kayak boat. But there is something even more incredible!
Everyone knows that on a sunny day, the bright sun makes your eyes blind. To hunt in bright, blinding light is simply impossible. Most of us use sunglasses in the south and we perceive them exclusively as an accessory for hot countries. But that's because only few of us have been to the north. And we can't even imagine how the sunlight intensifies after reflecting off the white snow.
Long before us, Eskimos, according to one version, invented the first sunglasses. Of course, they did not have darkened glass… But they carved it out of bone or wood the likeness of modern glasses with thin slits for the eyes, capable of softening and limiting excessive light.

An Early Start for a Day Immersed in Nature’s Beauty at the Royal Park
🌅 Yesterday, I set off at 4 AM from the outskirts of Guildford, determined to secure a parking spot early, and it was so worth it! As we arrived, the gates opened, and there were plenty of spaces available.
Over the years, my wife Katie Tanner Photography and I have visited many times, especially during rutting season, but this year was much quieter compared to the past. Despite that, the experience was just as magical.
Spending the day wandering through this beautiful royal park was mesmerizing. The sound of red deer calls echoing all around made for an unforgettable experience. Witnessing these magnificent creatures up close during their rut was awe-inspiring. 🦌🍂
Being out in nature like this really makes you feel connected to the natural world. I can’t wait to return with my camera as autumn continues to transform the landscape, making it even more stunning. 📸✨

Last weekend, I embarked on an unforgettable hunting trip in the heart of California’s wilderness. The journey began at the crack of dawn, with the sun casting a golden hue over the sprawling landscapes of the San Bernardino National Forest. Armed with my gear and a sense of adventure, I set out to explore the rugged terrain.
The forest was alive with the sounds of nature, from the rustling leaves to the distant calls of wildlife. As I trekked deeper into the woods, I encountered a variety of game, including black bears and wild pigs. The thrill of the hunt was palpable, and every moment was a testament to the beauty and challenge of the great outdoors.
One of the highlights of the trip was spotting a majestic mule deer. With careful precision and respect for the animal, I took my shot. The experience was both humbling and exhilarating, reminding me of the importance of conservation and responsible hunting practices.
After a successful day in the field, I set up camp under the starlit
Generational family of hunters from Hersey says anyone can get into hunting
Its not often that you see generations of hunting being passed down. But for the Livermore family, hunting isn’t just for the sport, its for the stories and experiences.
“Just put down the cell phones and get out in the woods,” said father of the family, Trent Livermore.
Wednesday is opening day for rifle season and the Livermore family took to the great outdoors.
“You just got to get it. Get after it. You get you gotta, you can’t be afraid,” said Trent.
Hunting was once predominantly done by adults and men, but recently more women and children have gotten into the sport.
“I think a lot more women are getting into it, which is great to see. I think a lot more children are getting into it as well,” said mother of the family, Tammy Livermore.
Tammy is one of those women, she has been hunting for 27 years and is well known in the community.
“I hunt turkey, deer. I’ve shot a bobcat. Pretty much anything. Yo
Banteng (South Pacific)
Bos javanicus
DESCRIPTION (male) Shoulder height 52 inches (132 cm). Weight about 1,100 pounds (500 kg). Females are smaller and slimmer than males.
The banteng is a good-sized ox, closely related to the gaur, but smaller and lighter, with a less developed dorsal ridge, relatively longer legs, a more elongated head and smaller ears. The tail is tufted and reaches below the hocks, and there is an imperfectly developed dewlap. Banteng found in Australia are handsome animals of the Javan type. Young bulls are reddish-brown until about age three, becoming blackish-brown or black when fully mature, the blackish coloration progressing from front to back. Very old bulls may turn gray. There is a large white rump patch that contrasts sharply with the color of the body. It extends to-but does not include-the root of the tail. The lower legs have white "stockings" from knee to hoof. The horns are relatively short and slim, round in cross section, more or less wrinkled ne

Shed Hunting 101: Expert Tips for Finding More Antlers This Spring
Everything you need to know to find a pile of shed antlers this spring, from the basics of when and where to advanced bone-collecting tips
Shed hunting comes at the perfect time of year. Big-game seasons are over in most places, and turkey seasons haven’t started yet. That means most of us are looking for a reason to get outside, and what better reason than a chance to get your hands on some antlers? But even if you’re not a big-game hunter, you should give shed hunting a try. Why? Because hunting for the shed antlers of North America’s deer species (whitetails, mule deer, elk, moose, and caribou) has something for everyone. It gets you outside and exercising at a time of year when not much else is happening, and it can turn into a fun hobby—if not an obsession—that results in a tangible reward. Meanwhile, you’ll be learning more and more about the deer or elk your areas, and for whitetail hunters especially, it can tea
Quinte West resident raises concerns about duck hunting near Bain Park
A Quinte West, Ont., resident is raising concerns regarding duck hunting happening near a children’s play centre in Trenton.
Quinte West resident Burritt Clarke often walks along the waterfront at Bain Park in Trenton, and was surprised one day when he heard gunshots.
“They were pretty close, really close,” Clarke said of the hunters, who he said were near the park.
Now well into duck hunting season, hunters across the province are able to head out with their permits for a day of shooting game.
Clarke said he doesn’t think firing guns should be allowed so close to where children play.
The popular public area features a children’s play centre, two ball diamonds and a soccer field.
“The fear is, sooner or later, a child is going to get shot when they’re going down to the water’s edge to look at the ducks,” he said.
Currently, no laws are being broken, according to the Ontario Provincial Police, the City of Quinte We
8 Great New Hunting Rifles for 2022
Though I absolutely love those rifles which have been with me for decades, and have shared so many indelible memories, I still get excited to see the new crop of rifles introduced each year, and always ponder the possibilities of creating new memories with a new model. A hunting rifle can become a life-long friend, but like any friend, there’s the first time you meet, and like so many friendships, sometimes things don’t work out. Whether it’s a long-range bolt gun for sheep, elk and antelope, or a thumper of a lever gun destined to pursue bear in the spring vegetation, or an all-around deer gun, the possibilities are endless. Let’s take a gander at what’s new for 2022 for the American hunter.1. Marlin 1895 SBL and Trapper
Rescued from the dustbin by Ruger, Marlin was purchased in the breakup of the Freedom Group, and they are coming back with a vengeance. The first of the new Marlin rifles to come off the line was the Model 1895 SBL, with its large
Tying Up
Creating a drop-shot rig is easy. A small finesse worm is usually used for finicky bass, but always choose long, slender plastics that are free of legs and pinchers that can twist your line. Drop-shotting favorites are traditionally modest, straight plastic worms and minnows; the softer, the better. Some companies are now using “super plastics,” which are incredibly buoyant and allow the lure to float up, rather than settle, on a drop-shot rig, and can help trigger more bites. Z-Man Fishing Products’ ElaZtech lures are a good example.
You need to match those small baits with an equally small hook. In snag-free areas, simply nose-hooking the worm is most effective, so a light 1/0 hook is a good starting point. Most die-hard drop-shotters rely on the Gamakatsu split-shot / drop-shot hook.
You can Texas-rig your plastics when fishing around brush or heavy cover but, again, stay with a fairly light hook. The VMC WM worm hook is a good one. In any case, always tie your hook w
Braised Wild Boar Shanks with Sweet Soy and Star Anise
Ingredients
1/4 cup canola oil
6 wild boar shanks (about 5 pounds)
12 garlic cloves, lightly smashed
8 star anise pods
3 whole cloves
Two 4-inch cinnamon sticks
10 cups water
1 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup kecap manis (sweet soy sauce) or 2 tablespoons molasses
1 cup palm sugar or light brown sugar
Steamed rice and cilantro, for serving
Directions
Step 1
In a very large skillet, heat the oil. Add the boar shanks in a single layer and cook over moderately high heat, turning occasionally, until browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer the shanks to a large enameled cast-iron casserole or Dutch oven.
Step 2
Add the garlic, star anise, cloves and cinnamon sticks to the skillet and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the water, soy sauce, kecap manis and sugar and scrape up any bits stuck to the pan.
Step 3
Pour the liquid into the casserole and bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat
Do cloned pets actually look and act like the original?
Cloning may sound like something out of a science fiction movie, but it’s already happening here in the United States. One company has the patented technology to clone cats, dogs and horses, and will do it for you right now – for a price.
Viagen charges $35,000 to clone a cat. Cloning a dog will set you back $50,000, and a horse is $85,000.
That’s clearly a huge investment. What exactly do you get for your money?
First, Viagen needs a skin sample from a pet that’s either still alive, or just recently died. A lot of people turn to the company right after their pet dies, said spokesperson Melain Rodriguez, and it’s possible to do successfully if the death was within a few days ago and the body has been kept refrigerated.
Then starts the real science. The sample is shipped to the company’s lab in Texas, where cells from the skin are cultured. It takes a few weeks for those cells to grow and multiply until there are about 1 milli
