Historie Jack Russell teriéra začala v roce 1818 v Anglii, kdy kněz jménem John Russell (Jack) koupil fenu jménem "Trump" od místního mlékaře. Byla bílá s červenými skvrnami. Pasteur bral psy na lov, byl to jeho koníček. Snažil se vyvinout dokonalého lovce nor. Russell byl zkušený a nemilosrdný chovatel. Pečlivě vybíral štěňata, vybíral jen ta nejslibnější, podle jeho názoru se zbavoval těch špatných. Tato technika sloužila k formování vynikajících loveckých schopností u psů plemene Jack Russell Terrier. John chtěl k loveckému plemeni přidat více vzteku a agrese. Proslýchá se, že transfuzoval býčí a teriérskou krev. I v naší době se zachovali předci takto stvořených psů. Liší se trochu jinou barvou (místo červené mají černé skvrny), kousáním a zvýšenou agresivitou. Russell byl kategoricky proti tomu, aby se jeho plemeno účastnilo výstav, což vysvětluje tím, že jeho psi byli stvořeni výhradně pro lov. Pasteur měl mnoho nepřátel a odpůrců, kteří říkali, že Trump nemá štěňata, a on sám by

Kako loviti patku? Prije svega, trebali biste znati malo o sezoni lova. Svaka zvijer ima svoje vrijeme. Budući da je lov na patke prilično uobičajena vrsta, postoji mnogo načina lova. Razmotrite nekoliko popularnih među iskusnim lovcima. Prvi je lov s patkama. Na mjestu koje ste odabrali gradi se sklonište (skrovište). Koristeći savjete iskusnih lovaca, poplavne poplavne livade, obale rijeka koje su poplavljene, različiti kanali i jezera prikladni su za lov. Ako vam područje na kojem planirate loviti patke nije poznato – pitajte lovce koji su već bili tamo ili sami identificirajte područja nakupljanja ptica. Pregledavajući područje, morate odabrati mjesto na kojem je prikladno skriveno promatrati kretanje patki. Jutarnje i večernje zore najbolje su za takva opažanja. Dobar pomoćnik bit će brod. Uz njegovu pomoć možete se približiti teško dostupnim mjestima. Negdje od sredine kolovoza započinje ljetni lov na patke. U to vrijeme ptice, okupljene u jata, lete da se hrane kruhom. Do ju

Texas The second largest U.S. state, Texas covers an astounding 171,891,725 acres (Source: Beef 2 Live). Often thought of by outsiders as one giant desert, the Lone Star State is actually very eco-diverse. In fact, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department recognizes 10 different eco-regions within the state. I recently discussed Texas’s deer herd and hunting opportunities with Alan Cain, White-tailed Deer Program Leader with the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department. Not all states project whitetail-population estimates, but Texas does. “We have an estimated 5.4 million white-tailed deer,” Cain said. “This number is based on regulatory deer surveys that our biologists annually conduct throughout the state. Central Texas has the state’s highest deer densities. This area is known as the Edwards Plateau eco-region, also commonly referred to as the Hill Country. Specifically, Deer Management Unit (DMU) 6 around Llano and Mason Counties has the highest density at an estimated 265 deer per 1,00

The 10 Best States for Snow Goose Hunting Every year, hunters shoot more light geese in these states than anywhere else Even if you didn’t know much about spring snow goose hunting, fields covered with white decoys and parking lots jammed with muddy trailers would reveal hotspots across the country. And for good reason: Depending on the weather and hatch, many areas typically produce year after year. Now and then, however, you hear about a spring destination that surprises you, and some might wonder where hunters actually kill the most light geese. A quick review of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service harvest statistics provides some insight — and a few surprises. Disclaimer: These surveys are estimates and do not differentiate between spring, fall, and winter harvests, and they don’t take into account weather conditions or other factors that might influence success. We’ve compiled a four-season average — 2017-18 through 2020-21 — to get a general trend of recent hunter success. These numbe

RSPB calls for emergency shooting ban during bird flu outbreak This article is more than 2 months old Shoots cause stress for migratory species such as Svalbard barnacle goose, whose numbers are down 38% The RSPB has called for an emergency shooting ban after an “unprecedented” outbreak of bird flu that has left wildfowl populations in “catastrophic decline”. Migratory geese that overwinter on the Solway Firth, which stretches between Scotland and Cumbria, are being hardest hit, with a 38% decline in the Svalbard barnacle goose breeding population from winter last year. While these are protected species and not subject to hunting, experts argue that pressure from wildfowlers on nearby, legal quarry species can have an impact. Shoots nearby can cause stress, scaring the birds into the air where they use up vital energy. Some estimates suggest the UK is facing the worst outbreak of avian influenza on record. Latest population counts of the Svalbard breeding population show a drop in nu

New clues may explain the mysterious origins of the Falklands wolf Charcoal, bones, and tools suggest Indigenous seafarers inhabited the Falklands. It’s possible they may have brought their canine companions along. When Charles Darwin arrived at the Falkland Islands in 1833, the lone mammal he saw wandering its desolate shores was an odd fox-like creature. Darwin and other European settlers assumed that the Falklands, also known as Islas Malvinas and located several hundred miles east of the Argentina coastline, were uninhabited. There were no settlements and no people who could have ferried the enigmatic Falkland fox, also called the warrah, to this cold, scrubby archipelago. The warrah, they decided, must have made its own way across the sea. Scientists later hypothesized the foxes could have made it there by rafting on debris or hopping across ice floes during the last Ice Age. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/falkland-islands-wolf-fox-origin-people But a new

Mooching for Deer With the three-hour mooch complete on a recent December morning, our six-pack of deer hunters chewed venison sticks in Doug Duren’s old farmhouse in southwestern Wisconsin and wondered where Duren would send us for the afternoon mooch. Any outsider listening in probably would’ve wondered about something else: “What’s a ‘mooch’ and how does it involve deer hunting?” Good question. No dictionary explains the term the way Duren uses it. Mooching does not mean loitering, which assumes you’re hanging around with no purpose. Nor does it involve begging for food, drink, money or other handouts. Instead, one mooches by moving glacier-like along a precise route, as designated by Duren, through a woodlot or its border with a field of corn or alfalfa. Your individual mooch, when combined with mooches made by fellow moochers, creates one overall mooch, much as individual drivers combine to create a drive. If the mooch succeeds, a moocher gets a shot at a slow-moving deer, or

Taxidermy Is Art. No Debates Needed. 🎯 I hunt because I love nature. I mount trophies because I respect it. Taxidermy isn’t some weird obsession or macho flex. It’s the way I capture the wild — raw and honest. That moment when I locked eyes with a rutting buck, or the adrenaline when the boar came crashing through the thicket… a picture fades. A head mount? That’s memory solidified. That’s real. Some folks say it’s just “stuffed animals.” Yeah? Then you’ve never watched a true taxidermist breathe life back into glass eyes and cured hide. It takes more than glue and foam — it takes knowledge, precision, and soul. That’s craftsmanship. That’s art. These trophies on my wall? They aren’t kills. They’re chapters. They’re why I remember every sunrise I froze through, every footprint I followed, every time I sat in complete silence — just waiting. I don’t do it for show. I do it because the wild deserves to be remembered properly. Call it what you want. I call it respect in its purest,

ATA Arms SP 12ga (710mm Barrel) Review Alright, here's an honest and hopefully helpful take on the ATA Arms SP 12 gauge with a 710mm barrel, from a perspective of someone who's spent some decent time in the field and at the range: Having put a fair few shells through the ATA Arms SP, I think I can offer a reasonably balanced review. Full disclosure: I'm not a sponsored shooter or anything like that, just a hunter who appreciates a decent tool. The Good: Value for Money: This is where the ATA Arms SP really shines. You're getting a lot of shotgun for the price point. It's a solid, functional over-under that's significantly cheaper than some of the bigger European brands. For a beginner looking to get into clay shooting or bird hunting without breaking the bank, it's a very appealing option. Reliability: In my experience, the action has been reliably smooth. Ejection's been positive, and I haven't had any major mechanical failures so far. I've put a mix of light target loads a

Review of the J.&W. Tolley 12 Gauge Side-by-Side Hammergun (75 cm Barrels) As an avid hunter with years of experience, I recently had the opportunity to take my vintage J.&W. Tolley 12-gauge side-by-side hammergun on a hunting trip for wild boar and geese. This gun, which is over 100 years old, is a true piece of history, and using it in the field was both a privilege and a challenge. Here’s my detailed review, including the pros and cons of this classic firearm. Pros: Craftsmanship and Aesthetics: The J.&W. Tolley hammergun is a masterpiece of English gunmaking. The walnut stock is beautifully figured, and the engraving on the action and hammers is exquisite. Carrying this gun feels like holding a piece of art. The 75 cm barrels are perfectly balanced, giving the gun a classic, elegant look. Reliability: Despite its age, this gun performed admirably in the field. The side-by-side configuration and external hammers (true "курковка") are simple and reliable. I used modern 12

Tiger Dog Hunter Is Released. Watch the video. An impressive video of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment releasing Amur tiger recently captured in the Khasansky district, which devoured a bunch of dogs there. Look how big he is, he's kicked his sides pretty well on the dogs. It was taken far away and released on the border of Khabarovsk and Primorsky Territories. Since the beginning of 2025, a large number of cases of Amur tiger attacks on domestic animals have been recorded in Primorsky Krai (Eastern Russia). Residents of some villages began to fear not only for their pets, but also for their lives. At the end of the year, attacks occurred almost every day. For a long time, the tiger went unpunished. Hunters could not be involved in the capture of the killer tiger. Amur tigers in Russia are under special protection, including under the personal protection of President Vladimir Putin. The Amur tiger is the ruler of vast territories, the area of which is 300-500 km2 fo

A New Jersey bow hunter established a new state record on Tuesday morning by harvesting a 770-pound black bear in Morris County. Brian Melvin shared with NJ Advance Media that he first spotted the enormous bear approximately three years ago and had been tracking it during the last two hunting seasons. He successfully shot the bear from around 45 yards away at approximately 7 a.m. in Kinnelon. “It never lingered in one location for over six months,” noted Melvin, 39, who began bow hunting in his early twenties. “I spent weeks obtaining permission for land where I believed the bear might be or pass through. Last year, I captured it on camera, but it disappeared until May of this year.” State wildlife officials have confirmed that the bear’s dressed weight of 770 pounds is the largest ever recorded during New Jersey's black bear hunt. Melvin remarked that his dedication paid off when he located the bear a month prior to the hunting season. “I tracked him down in a new swamp about a

Nebraska woman gets marriage proposal after killing big buck on hunting trip A Nebraska woman bagged a marriage proposal earlier this month along with a big buck during a recent deer hunting trip. It was the most successful hunting trip ever for a Nebraska woman who bagged a marriage proposal shortly after killing a big buck. Earlier this month, while on a hunting trip south of Lincoln, Samantha Camenzind’s boyfriend not only gave her the first shot at the deer they had spotted on a trail, but he surprised her by popping the question in the middle of a photo shoot with the prized trophy buck. The couple tells local media outlets that in their three years of dating, one of the things the couple bonded over is their shared love of hunting. They even process and eat the meat of what they hunt and kill.

Americký bizon Bisonte Americano (Španělsko), Bison (G), North American Bison (F). Většina Severoameričanů mu říká buvol, ale není to pravý buvol jako ti, kteří se vyskytují v Asii a Africe. Vědci nám říkají, že jeho předkové dorazili do Severní Ameriky z Asie, překročili Beringův zemský most během pleistocénu, asi před dvěma miliony let. Zubr americký a jeho blízký příbuzný zubr evropský patří do kmene Bovini, který zahrnuje skot, buvoly a bizony. POPIS Bizon je po mrožovi největší lovnou zvěří v Severní Americe. Velcí býci mohou stát v kohoutku 5–6 stop (1,5–1,8 m) a vážit 1 600–2 200 lb (725–1 000 kg), někdy až 3 000 lb (1 350 kg). Samice jsou mnohem menší, váží asi 900 liber (400 kg) nebo méně. Obě pohlaví mají velký hrb na plecích a mohutnou, nízko posazenou hlavu. Tělo je na průřezu spíše úzké, zejména na zadních končetinách. Hlava, krk a přední končetiny jsou pokryty hustou, střapatou srstí a má krátký vous. Ocas je krátký a se střapcem. Letní srst je světle žlutohnědá; Zimní

Sitka DIY: Doing Time in the Sitka Silver Mine Doing Time in the Sitka Silver Mine One of the definitions of the word “mine” is: a rich source of supply. In that regard, it seems that Alaska is a fish mine for many, with plentiful fish available to harvest and enjoy. Certain species are more plentiful than others. For example, Chinook salmon are the largest but least abundant of all salmon in North America. They are arguably the most desired by sport anglers. However, they’ve been at a period of low abundance for the past several years. Pink salmon are the smallest and most numerous. However, they’re the least desired. Perhaps it’s their size, or that their meat is not as rich or as deeply colored as other species. Coho salmon strike an interesting balance. They’re not as large as Chinook but are larger than pinks. Their fat content is not as high as a Chinook’s, but the meat is flavorful and richly colored. Coho are much more numerous than Chinook, but not as numerous as pinks. Coho

Hunting with Hawks Perhaps you'll never try falconry yourself. Katherine Browne once thought the same thing. But these days, the Prois pro-staff coordinator and licensed falconer does her small-game hunting with a raptor named Hades Katherine Browne’s hunting partner, Hades, can be a little high strung and aggressive at times, but Browne overlooks it. Hades is pretty good at what he does, and that behavior is typical for his kind. A northern goshawk, Hades is a member of the raptor family, and his natural maneuverability and speed make him a top predator and excellent hunting companion. When Browne, the dealer relations and pro-staff coordinator for Prois Hunting Apparel, is not working, you can often find the licensed falconer training Hades to hunt ducks, pheasant, grouse and quail in the woods and fields by her home. How does a young woman, such as Browne, become a falconer? “I have always been intrigued by raptors, and I love the idea of being a part of something wild and ancient

Hardware: Colt Anaconda For some folks, the sight of a scoped bolt-action rifle or elegant over/under shotgun instantly makes them think of hunting. For me, the glimpse of a long-barreled big-bore revolver does the same thing. In the case of Colt’s new stainless steel Anaconda with an 8-inch barrel, visions of big-game animals immediately popped into my mind. Knowing the Anaconda is chambered in .44 Magnum, and seeing the overall size of the new revolver up close, made me focus on the largest of the animals I’ve hunted. This is clearly a handgun and caliber one could use worldwide on any land animal. Yes, the Anaconda does remind you of its smaller relative, the new Python, with its world-famous ventilated rib, full-length lug and highly polished stainless-steel finish. A little closer look reveals the fully adjustable rear sight, wide hammer spur, open-back rubber Hogue grips, replaceable front sight with orange insert, and a top strap already drilled and tapped to facilitate the mo

10 Classic Hunting Rifles Every Hunter Should Own (Part 2) 4. Ruger No. 1 Single-shot hunting rifles aren’t what most of us have in mind when we think of the classics, but the Ruger No. 1 is one that has stood the test of time. It was introduced in 1967 and is a hammerless falling-block single shot that styled after the British Farquharson rifles and was offered in a plethora of chamberings and developed a cult-like following. In an article introducing the Ruger M/77 in the September 1968 issue of OL, O’Connor says the following regarding the still-new Ruger No. 1: “The production of a single-shot big-game rifle was a bold gamble on Ruger’s part. I am sure that 9 out of 10 market consultants would have said that the demand for single-shot rifles for centerfire cartridges had gone out with the mustache cup and the Stanley Steamer. In spite of all this and also in spite of the fact that Ruger gets a premium price for the No. 1 single shot, his (Bill Ruger) only problem has been to prod
