Stags, Ponies, Raptors – what an amazing day we’ve had! 🦌🐴🦅 Today was all about being surrounded by nature's finest. The majestic stags, with their powerful antlers, roamed gracefully through the fields, a true symbol of strength and endurance. The wild ponies, untamed and free, galloped across the landscape, their manes flowing in the wind, reminding us of the beauty of freedom and resilience. And then there were the raptors – sharp-eyed, fierce hunters of the skies, soaring effortlessly as they scanned the ground below for prey. Each animal brought its own sense of wonder, from the ground to the sky. It’s moments like these that remind us of the incredible diversity in the animal kingdom and the thrill of witnessing it up close. Can’t wait to share more photos next week – stay tuned for some unforgettable wildlife moments! 📸✨ #WildlifePhotography #Stags #Ponies #Raptors #NatureLovers #AnimalKingdom #OutdoorAdventure #WildlifeWatching #BirdsOfPrey #MajesticStags #WildPonies #A

Set #2 of the FLYING pika! (Please view each image large for details) One of my absolute favorite and most challenging subjects to photograph........the mighty American Pika. These tiny critters the size of a guinea pig, are the speediest and hardest working animals in the alpine zone of the mountains. They are Lagomorphs and closely related to rabbits. They spend most of their days gathering tundra grasses and wildflowers to store in their winter food stashes to be able to survive the cold harsh mountain winters. I spend numerous days and hours each summer up high in the Rocky mountains of Colorado, observing and trying to photograph these little speedsters. Here is the second set of photos. All images captured with a Nikon Z8 and Nikkor 800mm F6.3 lens, some with a 1.4x teleconverter for focal length of 1120mm. Most are captured with a shutter speed of 1/4000 sec, F7.1 or F8, various ISO's up to 20,0000, handheld and cropped.

Gold caviar for Russian Tsar. Pike caviar, once a rare and exclusive delicacy reserved for Russian Tsars, is steeped in history and intrigue. In the past, catching pike under the ice was an arduous and challenging task without modern equipment, making its caviar all the more precious. The skill and effort required to harvest this elusive fish during winter meant that only the most experienced fishermen could procure it, and even then, yields were limited. As a result, pike caviar became a symbol of luxury and privilege, gracing the tables of royalty and high society. Its unique flavor—mild yet distinct, with a hint of sweetness and crunch—made it a favorite among Russian nobility. Served on crisp bread or paired with rich creams, it was considered a true gourmet experience. Today, while easier to obtain, pike caviar still carries echoes of its regal past, offering a taste of history with every bite. It remains a testament to the resourcefulness of traditional fishing practices and con

I dag vælger nogle jægere, med fokus på deres udenlandske kolleger, vandfuglenes trækkorridorer til deres jagt. Denne type jagt har været aktivt udviklet i Rusland i flere år nu. Om efteråret går gæs for det meste til de nordlige regioner af vores land, men ænder kan godt lide at bevæge sig gennem de sydlige regioner, Krasnodar-territoriet, Rostov-regionen, Stavropol-territoriet - andejagt blomstrer der. Med østenvinden Andejagt begynder normalt med ankomsten af ​​kolde østlige vinde fra Det Kaspiske Hav og det vestlige Kasakhstan. Disse vinde tvinger vandfugle til at bevæge sig mere aktivt til varmere overvintringsområder. I Stavropol-territoriet er en sådan jagt overraskende, fordi den ikke finder sted på reservoirer, som vi alle er vant til, men på marker. Fast sort jord (med rester af majs, solsikke og korn) efterlader ikke trækfugle ligeglade, og hver morgen flyver anden til fødemarkerne. Liggeskjuler - i marken er dette den mest effektive og hurtigste måde at ly for en jæger

Ved vinterjagt er det som ingen anden vigtigt ikke at fryse. Det er umuligt at lave et godt skud med følelsesløse eller rystende hænder fra kulden efter en lang, ubevægelig venten på trofæet, og sikke en fornøjelse det er at være nedkølet og kun tænke på, hvordan man varmer op. Derfor fylder vi sparegrisen op med ideer til, hvordan du kan holde varmen om vinteren under en statisk jagt - i et rullegardin eller i et rum. Hvorfor statisk? For under gåjagt er alt lidt enklere: du bevæger dig, blod cirkulerer aktivt i hele kroppen og varmer dig. Hvis du er klædt rigtigt på, har flere lag udstyr og velvalgt termoundertøj, så skal du ikke være bange for hypotermi. Hvis du er blevet tvunget til at vente i nogen tid, især når den er ubevægelig, så ved du, hvor svært det er at holde på varmen: kroppen afkøles gradvist, og en defensiv reaktion opstår - skælvende.Как

One for the Road Pachydermia The fading symbol of Africa To the wide world, the elephant is the symbol of Africa. Hunters might hold out for the lion, and the greater kudu has it advocates, but ask the average person what animal he thinks of when you mention Africa and the answer will almost always be “the elephant.” This fact is important when you consider the coverage given to game conservation generally by the mainstream media. The mountain nyala may be seriously endangered, or the eastern bongo, or giant sable, but mention those to the average journalist—or, more to the point, the average editor—and you will likely get nothing more than a strange look. Every couple of years, The Economist, London’s highly respected international news magazine, remembers the elephant and sends someone to take a look at its status. One expects high quality journalism from The Economist, and usually gets it. Its most recent articles on elephant are broadly excellent, but with one curiou

New ‘snug,’ a snail with a too-small shell, described from Brunei rainforest A group of researchers and citizen-scientists have identified a new semi-slug species, Microparmarion sallehi, from the lowland rainforests of northern Borneo Island. Their study suggests there may be some half a dozen other species from the same genus waiting to be described, highlighting the rich biodiversity of this region. For this description, the local and international scientists involved students and laypersons in the team on a combined program of biodiversity training and exploration. The study authors note that scientific knowledge of Southeast Asian slugs in general is lacking due to low collection samples, meaning the prospects for describing a new species is high. JAKARTA — A group of researchers and citizen-scientists have described a new “semi-slug” species from the lowland rainforests of northern Borneo.

Hvad kunne være bedre for en jæger eller fisker end en forberedt SUV? Derfor bør du tage valget af bil seriøst. I denne artikel vil vi se på konceptet med den såkaldte ekspeditions-SUV. Det indebærer lange løb på asfalt og korte løb off-road. Derfor skal en SUV opfylde disse kriterier. - Kapacitet. Køretøjets dimensioner skal opfylde den rejsendes behov. Bilen skal have plads til minedrift, grej, udstyr, telt og passagerer. Den ideelle mulighed er en bil med et rummeligt bagagerum, tagmontering og 4 sæder til passagerer. - Et køretøj til langdistancejagtekspeditioner - Enkelt design. Det er kendt, at komplekse mekanismer bryder sammen oftere og kræver langvarige, dyre reparationer. Derfor bør et køretøj beregnet til kørsel over ujævnt terræn være enkelt konstrueret. Ejeren kan selv reparere en sådan bil ved hjælp af tilgængeligt værktøj og et standard reparationssæt. - Reduceret brændstofforbrug. En god jeep til jagt og fiskeri bør ikke forbruge meget brændstof. - Mulighed for spe

New rule gives Colorado authority over gray wolf management With Colorado’s gray wolf reintroduction deadline looming, the state just received some good news regarding gray wolf management. This week, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) finalized a rule, 10j, that will allow the state to create its own rules for what’s considered a “nonessential experimental population,” according to Channel 9 News. This is a big step for the reintroduction effort in a measure that was approved by voters back in 2020, which requires Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) to reintroduce wolves to the state by Dec. 31, 2023. CPW announced on Twitter/X that “10j gives us gray wolf management flexibility,” which includes determining when it will be permissible to kill a problem wolf. 10j was supported by local ranchers who, per the state’s management plan, will be allowed to kill wolves if they catch one “actively trying to kill livestock,” according to Channel 9 News. Without this rule in place, the

På trods af at spydfiskeri i modsætning til fiskeri fra en båd, fra kysten og fra is kun kan foregå i åbent vand (hvor der, uanset årstiden, ikke er iltsult og fiskene er aktive), er taktikken af spearfishing er meget forskelligartede, og dens beskrivelse kræver et format bøger. Ofte bruges kun aktive søge- og liggemetoder. Aktiv eftersøgning i åbent vand involverer aktiv dykning og inspektion af undervandsrummet for at søge efter fisk i deres levesteder. Spearfishing taktik i siv og tæt vegetation adskiller sig væsentligt fra åbent vand. En af metoderne er "nesting", når dykkeren dykker til bunden i et skakternet mønster og inspicerer mellemrummet mellem bunden og vandvegetationen. At ligge ned sker, mens du holder vejret og kan foregå enten mens dykkeren er camoufleret, ved hjælp af funktionerne i undervandsterrænet eller uden camouflage. Når man ligger ned, udføres eftersøgningen efter fisk ofte "gennem lyset", eller fisken forventes at nærme sig inden for skudafstand. En af strøe

Rødøjede løvfrøer findes i Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama og findes endda i nogle isolerede populationer i Colombia. De foretrækker tropiske regnskove og lavlandsskove med høj luftfugtighed, men de kan også findes i fugtige skove ved fodens skråninger, der ligger i en højde på omkring 1250m over havets overflade. Navnet "rødøjede" er direkte relateret til de smukke store røde øjne, som disse frøer åbner om natten. Rødøjede løvfrøer omtales også nogle gange som rødøjede løvfrøer på grund af deres trælevende livsstil, fordi de sover på undersiden af ​​et blad. Rødøjede løvfrøer er dejlige, langlivede og relativt nemme at passe for padder. Deres rolige gemyt, store røde øjne, lysegrønne ryg med blåstribede flanker og rige orange svømmehud gør dem til et af de mest interessante og fascinerende dyr for både begyndere og erfarne krybdyrentusiaster. Rødøjede løvfrøer er ret omgængelige med hinanden, så det er bedst at holde dem i små grupper (4 til 8 frø

Dall Sheep (North America) Ovis dalli dalli DESCRIPTION (male) Shoulder height about 38 inches (97 cm). Weight about 180 pounds (82 kg). Females are considerably smaller. Dall sheep are somewhat smaller and slimmer than Stone sheep. The Dall sheep is pure white, with amber hoofs and horns. The horns are slimmer than in other North American sheep, more triangular in cross section and relatively longer. Horn conformation varies with the region, some ranges featuring sheep with tight curls, others with more flare; however, the typical mature Dall ram has horns that flare outward at the tips after making a full curl. Females have short, slender horns. HABITAT Alpine country, including glacier edges, below permanent snow line. Essential elements are steep, rugged cliffs and rock outcroppings for escape from predators, and nearby meadows for feeding.

Hardware: Leupold RX-FullDraw 5 Rangefinder When it comes to glass, I’m a Leupold guy. I’ve come to trust the clarity and dependability of their optics, from scopes to binos to spotters, and they always perform brilliantly. Of course, rangefinders fall into the optic arena and are arguably one of the most crucial tools for firearm and archery hunters. Over the years, the rangefinder pocket on my bino harness has held multiple Leupold models like the RX-1600i TBR/W, RX-FullDraw 3 and RX-FullDraw 4. All performed as advertised, and I killed lots of critters using them. Leupold’s latest incarnation for archers, the RX-FullDraw 5, is the spitting image of the RX-4: compact, lightweight, durable, ergonomic and 6x magnification. The big difference, and one I was ready to dive headfirst into, is the new rangefinder’s Ballistic Mode. Before taking full advantage of the technology that makes this rangefinder one of the market’s most advanced and accurate bowhunting rangefinders, Leupold ask

Wolves likely responsible for livestock predation in Colorado What killed 18 cow calves near Meeker, Colorado? The livestock owner reported the depredation last Tuesday to Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW). While the deaths could be linked to wolves, it would mean that new wolves “have migrated into the state,” according to The Denver Post. In 2020, CPW said that wolves had returned to the state after a confirmed sighting of six wolves near an animal carcass in Moffat County. The other known wolf pack resides in North Park near Walden with about eight members; however, they went missing after the pack killed “at least five cows and two dogs,” meaning that they were likely “illegally killed,” according to Michael Robinson with the Center for Biological Diversity. Robinson believes the Moffat pack, which has also disappeared, was also likely illegally killed as well. CPW spokesman Travis Duncan said that the current investigation spans two weeks and several miles on White River Natio

Loch Ness Monster: Fossil discovery suggests mythical creature may have once existed For more than a century, legions of tourists have hunted for ‘Nessie’, a huge marine creature rumoured to inhabit Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. While many lake-goers have claimed sightings of the monster, all supposed photographs of the beast have been debunked. But new evidence suggests that Nessie may once have existed. Is the Loch Ness monster real? The popular image of Nessie - with a long neck and a tiny head - is based on ‘small plesiosaurs’, marine dinosaurs that went extinct 65 million years ago. Scientists thought these creatures could only live in the ocean. But according to UK and Moroccan scientists, they may have been able to survive in fresh water. These researchers have discovered the fossils of small plesiosaurs in a 100-million-year-old river system now part of the Sahara. “We don’t really know why the plesiosaurs are in fresh water,” said Dr Nick Longrich from the Univers

Faroe Islands to set quota of 500 dolphins to be killed in controversial whale hunt The government of the Faroe Islands is proposing a catch limit of 500 dolphins for the territory's annual whale hunt this year. The move comes after last year’s pursuit saw more than 1,400 animals slaughtered in one day during the Faroese centuries-old traditional hunt, the Faroese government announced in news release this week. Grindadrap, also known as the Grind, is an annual hunt that takes place on the remote North Atlantic islands halfway between Iceland and Scotland. This week, the government announced in the release that the capping measure was “in response to the unusually large catch” on Sept. 14, 2021. Warning: Graphic photo below The government is proposing an annual catch limit of 500 white-sided dolphins for both 2022 and 2023. The proposal is expected to be implemented as an executive order by July 25, according to the release. Last year's slaughter led to international condemnation

How Mexico revolutionized the science of antivenom Innovative policies and a diverse scorpion population have led to new treatments in Mexico, providing a model for other developing countries, experts say. PUEBLA STATE, MEXICO Ojo de Agua Ranch, at the edge of the sleepy town of Agua Fria, is home to nine dogs, six geese, 12 canaries, 21 sheep, and 163 horses. The sprawling 400-acre oasis is the inheritance of five brothers, the eldest of which, Alejandro Alagón, bought the equines in 2008 with a specific purpose in mind: Creating antivenom. Nearly 140,000 people die from snakebites annually, many of which are treatable with antivenoms, according to the World Health Organization. Envenomations—the term for bites and stings caused by animals such as snakes and scorpions—are also a silent scourge: In 2017, WHO added snakebite envenomations to its list of neglected tropical diseases. That’s why, throughout the 20th century, Mexican researchers improved and invented over a dozen antiv

Washington wolf livestock rule change up for comment If a new rule is passed, Washington livestock owners will have to prove that they already tried non-lethal conflict methods to deal with wolf depredation before the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) would use lethal measures. WDFW will be collecting public comment on the proposal Feb. 22 to April 11, according to a press release. The proposed rule would amend the language of Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 220-440-080. It would also create a new rule (WAC 220-440-260) that “directs WDFW staff, in consultation with willing, affected livestock producers, as well as affected federal, state, and tribal agencies, to author conflict mitigation plans that would establish area-specific criteria for the use of non-lethal and lethal measures to mitigate wolf-livestock conflict in areas of chronic conflict.” Both proposals are a result of the September 2020 decision by Governor Jay Inslee to create rules that would both r

THE WARTHOG IS A DANGEROUS BEAST. After the release of the Disney animated buddy comedy, The Lion King and The Lion King's Timon & Pumbaa. Where Timon and Pumbaa, the warthog and the meerkat were responsible for the humorous line, many decided that wild animals can be really cute and funny… In the video, people who have no experience interacting with wild animals are feeding a warthog. At the moment when she tries to stroke him, the warthog cuts through the woman's skin and muscles in the area where the femoral artery passes. Judging by the huge amount of blood that flowed out of the wound in a few seconds, it is more than likely that the warthog's tusk could have cut through part of this important vessel responsible for transporting blood from the heart to the leg. Such injuries, without urgent hospitalization, will lead to dizziness, loss of consciousness and even, in critical cases, death of the victim. Warthogs are not as cute as in the Disney cartoons. They are wild and dangero

Animal crossroads. The place where all the trails intersect… Look how lucky can be one well-installed camera trap f. Amazing video! I wonder if the person who installed it was just lucky or if he is an experienced hunter and ranger. Animal trails are the clearest and most trampled near rivers, lakes and other watering places. And the most unpleasant thing is that the further away they are from the watering hole, the more they diverge, branch out, and almost get lost in the thicket of the forest. They are difficult to track even for very experienced hunters. They become invisible to humans. Animals find their paths unmistakably thanks to their sense of smell, but humans have a bad sense of smell. So it turns out that the path found in a person's misunderstanding "suddenly suddenly ended." Berries and mushrooms grow well along animal trails, because animals carry their seeds and spores on their paws, hooves and in their stomachs, and bears, for example, often make trails to berry fi

Farewell to My Beloved Gitane – 13 Incredible Years Au revoir ma belle Gitane, my first draht, and a dog with an exceptional passion. For 13 years, you showed an incredible spirit and strength. Whether pulling a wild boar from a thicket or catching it minutes later in a pond in the middle of the plains, your power and persistence never failed. In the same day, you'd point out woodcocks, and I might have missed them, but you were always spot on. You've endured so much, with countless staples because nothing could stop your sheer will. You've also left behind a legacy, producing amazing dogs with Clint du Moulin de Berlemont: Jasper, Lacoste, Laïka, Lisière, N'Gumper, Nestor, and Oural. You were so full of trust, even staying loose in the back of the pickup truck on the highway, heading to Aisne for breeding. You truly earned your honors, my old Gitane. Your legacy lives on in every hunt, every memory, and every pup you've brought into this world. #DrahtHaar #HuntingDogs #FarewellToA

Barbuda is a wildlife paradise Barbuda’s small population, with large areas of undeveloped land and a once pristine coastline interspersed with natural salt-ponds make it the perfect habitat for hundreds of species of sea birds and animals, many of them now lost or endangered elsewhere in the Caribbean. After a shower of rain you might see a land turtle looking for a drink, and after a big seasonal rain there will be land crabs marching by the hundreds. Any large development disturbs this incredible natural environment and Barbudans have always sought to keep it this way. The island has long been home to nesting sea turtles whose tracks can be seen in the sand on nearly every beach of our coastline, and a short drive into the bush in Barbuda is a wonderful opportunity to see many different animals living – often in harsh drought conditions – in their own space, mostly undisturbed.

Henry X Models: The Wait is Finally Over The Henry X Models Have Arrived The concept for the Henry X Model series began at the 2018 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Dallas, Texas where a blacked-out .45-70 rifle and .410 bore shotgun were put on display to gauge everyone’s reaction to this departure from Henry’s usual blued-steel or brass receivers and American walnut furniture. Suffice it to say that the response among showgoers was positive, but little did they know that Henry Repeating Arms had more up their sleeves. With the release of Henry’s first rifle to feature a side loading gate looming in production behind closed doors, the vision for the production version of the Henry X Model became clearer. In January of 2020, Henry Repeating Arms announced the X Model Series to the world in Las Vegas at the SHOT Show. With no booth on the show floor, Henry dropped the news with a Lever Action X Model .45-70 at Federal Premium’s booth alongside a new line of ammunition called HammerDo

Fishing in Latvia Fishing for food has been a topical activity since the beginning of humankind. However, even today it has not lost its influence and significance. It is a great way to be alone with nature or to spend time with family or like-minded people. The diversity of nature offers the opportunity for a chilled family holiday by the sea, river or lake, and allows a passionate fisherman's dream of a big catch to be fulfilled. There are many different fish species in Latvian waters, and none of them are poisonous or dangerous to health. The most popular of these are pike, pike-perch, trout, carp, tench, perch, vimba, roach, bream, flounder and smelt, but the biggest pride of a fisherman is catching salmon or sea trout. Several fish species spend most of their lives at sea, only arriving in rivers during spawning, but some of these fish live and spawn in Latvia's rivers and lakes. Ezers un laivas Fishing in lakes Latvia is rich in a variety of beautiful lakes, which are home t

Animals get better care than their owners, study finds A new study conducted by animal welfare charity Brooke suggests that pet owners are more likely to take their pet for a routine check-up at the vet than go to the doctor for a check-up themselves. The study, which was conducted ahead of World Veterinary Day this Saturday, also found that almost 7 in 10 pet owners would always go to their vet in the first instance to get reliable advice on their animal’s wellbeing, ahead of consulting friends and family or checking social media. As 9 in 10 people agree that vets are a vital part of the community, Brooke is highlighting this importance by putting a spotlight on vets all around the world. Vet and TV broadcaster Dr Scott Miller said the findings show a huge reliance on vet services and highlight just how important vet professionals are to people in the UK. “This is something we see replicated around the world, especially within the communities Brooke works in where people depend o

Fishing in Costa Rica: Dancing the Jig with Costa Rican Monsters The volcanic reefs off the coast of Costa Rica remind me of a haunted house. They are dark with all kinds of nooks, crannies, and pinnacles to hide in, or seek a quick escape. There could be a monster around every corner sitting at an ambush point. Grouper hang close to the bottom. A variety of snapper and big Almaco jacks cruise just above them patrolling the water column. African Pompano and Bluefin trevally are mixed with them. Above all that large schools of jack crevalle and barracuda circle like a wagon train waiting for a school of bonito or other baitfish to arrive. Mark Davis has a knack for fooling these monsters. He needs to. As host of one of the most popular fishing shows on television, Big Water Adventures, he is expected to produce. He rarely lets his audience down. Starting his 15th season, Davis is a survivor in a tough industry. And unlike some who carry an entourage of many people to produce their s

Wines to Pair with Fowl Turkey, goose, pheasant? A free-range chicken, or even a capon? The time of the season seems to indicate fowl. We kind of like the idea, since it is out of the ordinary to roast a big bird for a festive feast, the kind of bird that can feed a dozen. With that comes wine challenges, though to say “challenge” is stretching the truth. That truth is almost any wine can match nicely with a big bird roast, plenty of vegetables, maybe a grilled romaine salad with parmesan and homemade croutons. Some choices: Evolve Cellars pinot blanc ($15), almost Alsatian in style with its crispness, but it is distinctively Okanagan as well, with its viscosity and herbal notes, surrounded by delightful stone fruit elements. A sensationally good sparkling wine, the Cipes Blanc de Franc ($45) from Summerhill Pyramid Winery, is a sparkling cabernet franc, which will turn heads, and have people coming back for more, so you may need to have two bottles. It is a delightful, fruit-driven wi
