Lov s samostrelom v Sloeniji ni toliko trgovina kot ena od vrst športa. Njegova glavna značilnost je, da se lovec ne postavlja v ugodnejše razmere od tistih, v katerih je žrtev. To ni isto kot ubijanje merjasca z vijačnim rezalnikom - tu ni posebnega razloga za ponos. In to se ne naredi samo zaradi prehranjevanja - meso lahko kupite v katerem koli supermarketu. To je pravi pogum, ekstrem in vznemirjenje. Tako zasledovalec kot igra sta enakovredna. To je pravi preizkus lastnih sposobnosti, spretnosti, sreče in prava priložnost, da se počutiš enako, kot je čutil prvinski lovec, ki je šel na lov.Post: 23 August 12:06
Prva šibrovka družine Vepr je bila izdelana na osnovi mitraljeza Kalašnikov v tovarni Molot leta 1995. V tem obdobju je bilo vodstvo podjetja prisiljeno preusmeriti na proizvodnjo izdelkov za civilno prebivalstvo zaradi dejstva, da so Ministrstvo za obrambo in tuji naročniki zmanjšali število naročil na minimum. Ta karabin velja za enega najboljših med podobnimi konkurenti. Zahvaljujoč priljubljenosti, ki jo je pridobil ne le med lovci, ampak tudi med organizacijami, ki se ukvarjajo s storitvami in varnostjo, se še vedno proizvaja in ima veliko število različnih modifikacij, ki se med seboj razlikujejo ne le po videzu, ampak tudi po kalibru. .Post: 4 August 17:44
Species Specifics You’ll likely hear of three major catfish species across the United States: channels, blues, and flatheads. For this topic of our discussion, we’ll stick with channel cats, as they are the most numerous, inhabiting nearly every waterway, lake and swamp in the South and across the country’s midsection into Canada. Bonus: They are great to eat. Blues are big river fish (think Mississippi), and flatheads are an outlandish predator capable of tipping 100 pounds. Both are incredible fish, and numerous outfitters specialize in trophy fishing for each. But, today, we’ll dial in the broader target: channel cats. Post: 8 September 12:33
Cyclists hospitalised after hornet attack in France What are hornets? Hornets are the largest of the wasp family native to Europe. Like bees, hornets live in large colonies with a single queen and thousands of workers and build their nests from tree fibres. While hornets usually prefer to avoid contact with humans, they will sting as a defence mechanism in response to having their nest disturbed, and can be aggressive near their food source too. Hornets hunt insects like beetles, moths, dragonflies and wasps. They will also eat rotting fruit they might find on the ground.Post: 9 August 18:21

Moose Hunt in Icy Bay DIY Moose Hunt in Icy Bay For the last three minutes, “Young Guns” has been on a beeline to my cow call. My loud calls, bolstered by the use of Wayne Kubat’s “Bull Magnet,” which is essentially a fiberglass megaphone that allows me to amplify both cow calls and bull grunts, has drawn in this big bull from far away. At first, far in the distance, I could hear the faint vocalizations of a bull drawn to a cow. The rhythmic “Ooh-Waa” sounds are repeated by the bull every few seconds. Finally, at about 400 yards across the swamp, I get a visual on the bull as he milled around. At first it appears that the bull is going to head off in another direction, but my persistent calling has him coming on a string. The topography of the location makes it so I won’t be able to get a shot until he comes clear of the brush that separates us, which will put him broadside at 20 yards. I experience a full adrenaline rush after so much communication with this bull, and have enough timPost: 25 November 10:52
How to Make Moose Jerky Moose jerky is delicious, nutritious and easy to make. The basic concept in my recipe is to take a quality cut of moose, slice it thin, marinate it for four hours and then remove the moisture from the meat in a dehydrator for four- to six hours at 155℉. Here’s how I make moose jerky: Ingredients 3 pound lean moose roast or steak 2/3 cup Worcestershire sauce 1/2 cup soy sauce 2 tbsp honey 2 tsp ground black pepper 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes 1 tsp onion powder Step 1 Using a meat slicer—I use a Weston Pro 320 10” Meat Slicer—cut your moose into 1/8-inch slices. I like using lean steaks and roasts from the rear quarter. Flank steak is another popular option. I’ve tried backstrap, but didn’t like it as well due to the fat marbling in the meat. Frozen, slightly thawed meat works best for slicing in a meat slicer. Step 2 In a medium bowl, mix all the ingredients (except the moose) until blended. I use a whisk to integrate the honey into the liquid. Pour the mix Post: 9 June 10:58
The Cape Buffalo is considered by some to be the most dangerous of all of the Big Five. While he seems docile enough when viewed undisturbed in the herd, when agitated or wounded this bovine can be extremely aggressive, vindictive, and cunning. Found all over southern Africa in herds of various sizes, the buffalo can weigh up to 1800 pounds. He is primarily a grazer but an occasional browser who must drink every day. They favor the thick bushveld during the day, leisurely moving and grazing as they go. At night they tend to herd up to protect the young from their archenemy, the lion. Both sexes carry horns, however, the horns of a bull can be quite spectacular in spread, with a deep curl and a solid boss covering the forehead. Cows lack the boss, but can have a very wide spread; in fact, the world record buffalo on file in the Roland Ward record book is a cow with a spread of some 62 inches. With a well-placed shot, a rifle of .375 caliber is adequate for the Cape buffalo. However, a Post: 12 May 13:41
Boomerangs are not only returning. For hunting large animals, such as kangaroos, the Australian Aborigines preferred to use non-returning boomerangs. They are curved to a lesser extent and longer (up to a meter or more), and they are thrown almost horizontally. When properly thrown, such a boomerang hits the ground at some distance from the target and bounces into it.Post: 5 June 21:50

Kahless Helia CBX 3-12x56 Scope Review I recently purchased the Kahless Helia CBX 3-12x56 scope for my hunting rifle, and I wanted to share my thoughts on its performance. First impressions during unboxing were positive. The scope has a robust and solid build quality, and the matte finish looks great while also minimizing glare. The 56mm objective lens promises excellent light transmission, which is crucial for low-light conditions, and I have to say, it does not disappoint. My early morning and late evening hunts have significantly improved thanks to the clarity and brightness it provides. The magnification range of 3-12x is versatile, making it suitable for various hunting scenarios, from close-range shots to those farther out. Adjusting the magnification is smooth and easy; I appreciate that there's no noticeable lag when switching between levels, allowing me to quickly adapt to changing conditions. One of the highlights of this scope is its reticle. The illuminated reticle is aPost: 25 November 09:03

DEET is a powerful insect repellent found in bug sprays used by millions of people in the U.S. every year.

Der Biber, ein fleißiges und geschicktes Tier, formt mit seiner Präsenz die Gewässerlandschaften und verkörpert den Geist des Baumeisters in der Natur. Mit seinen scharfen Zähnen und geschickten Pfoten schafft der Biber nicht nur Lebensräume für sich selbst, sondern beeinflusst auch die Ökologie seines Lebensraums. Der Biber ist vor allem für seine beeindruckenden Dämme und Bauwerke bekannt. Durch das Fällen von Bäumen und das Anhäufen von Ästen, Zweigen und Schlamm schafft er nicht nur sichere Wohnstätten, sondern beeinflusst auch den Wasserfluss und die Umgebung in seiner unmittelbaren Umgebung. Die Biberdämme dienen als Lebensraum für eine Vielzahl von Pflanzen- und Tierarten und tragen zur Schaffung von Feuchtgebieten bei.

Bear Gun Shootout: The Drill To get a better handle on this debate I enlisted the help of two fellow pistoleros: Sean Murphy, a USPSA Grand Master, and Outdoor Life staff writer Tyler Freel, who by virtue of living in Alaska hunts bears every year. We conducted a live-fire experiment at Gunsite Academy in the form of a simple, but challenging drill. The three of us shot an array of five knockdown steel poppers from far to near to simulate a bear charge. The farthest target was in the center and then we zig-zagged from far left to far right and then to near left and near right to add in erratic motion and increase the stress level. The farthest target was approximately 20 yards away and the closest were about 12 yards downrange. Watch the video above to see the drill for yourself.Post: 16 December 17:07
