Cougar killed in Buffalo County, DNR says MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) - A cougar was killed in western Wisconsin Saturday, and the hunter involved claims it was in self-defense. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources says an archery deer hunter found the cougar while hunting, and felt like they were in danger. The hunter then shot the cougar and self-reported the incident to the DNR. Cougars are a protected species in Wisconsin, so the DNR conducted an investigation. The agency says no charges will be filed against the hunter. The DNR is not certain if there is a cougar population in Wisconsin and says they may be migrating from the west. The DNR receives 15-20 verified reports of cougar sightings every year.

There is a snipe bird in the wild, in English it is called "snipe". This bird has a camouflage-colored plumage and is very small in stature, and it flies along an unpredictable trajectory. Therefore, few hunters manage to shoot this bird. The most successful began to be called "snipers" by the English name of the snipe bird.

Honest Review of the Swarovski Optik Z6i 2-12x50 (with Ballistic Turret and Illumination) I used a variety of scopes over the years, I recently had the opportunity to test the Swarovski Optik Z6i 2-12x50 with a ballistic turret and illuminated reticle. Here’s my detailed take on this high-end optic, including its strengths and weaknesses. Pros: Optical Clarity: The glass quality is simply outstanding. Swarovski is renowned for its optics, and the Z6i 2-12x50 lives up to the brand's reputation. The image is razor-sharp, with exceptional brightness and color fidelity, even in low-light conditions. Whether I was hunting at dawn or dusk, the clarity was unmatched. Versatile Magnification Range: The 2-12x magnification range is perfect for a variety of hunting scenarios. At 2x, it provides a wide field of view for close-range shots in dense terrain, while 12x offers enough zoom for precise long-range shots. This versatility makes it a great all-around scope.

Review of CZ-550 Rifle in .30-06 Caliber As an avid hunter with several years of experience, I have had the opportunity to use the CZ-550 rifle in .30-06 caliber. I want to share my thoughts on this firearm, highlighting both its strengths and weaknesses to help other hunters make informed decisions. CZ 550 Pros: Accuracy: One of the standout features of the CZ-550 is its inherent accuracy. The heavy barrel design contributes to reduced recoil, enabling me to make precise shots even at extended ranges. This has been especially beneficial during deer and elk hunting seasons where long-distance shots are sometimes necessary. Build Quality: The craftsmanship of the CZ-550 is exceptional. The wood stock feels robust and offers a comfortable grip, while the metal components are solidly constructed. The overall aesthetics of the rifle are pleasing, giving it a classic look that resonates with traditional hunters. Caliber Versatility: The .30-06 caliber is a time-tested choice for a vari

🇺🇸 Early wake-ups and late evenings is what roebuck hunting is all about. In between, long hours of planning the “best” strategy for that one buck which keeps your hunter and you awake during the short sleeping hours of the night. What will the wind do? Will the females around him spot us and run away scuppering our chances of success? When hunting for such special bucks, usually nothing ever comes as planned over so many times in your mind. But sometimes, when everything is perfect, it simply happens, finding yourself just a few meters away from the buck of your dreams. The rest is history.

France revises hunting rules but stops short of Sunday ban France's government on Monday announced tighter rules against hunting under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and protection for walkers and local residents, but stopped short of a hoped-for Sunday ban. Although a weekend "no hunting day" is popular with the public, President Emmanuel Macron is wary of alienating rural voters and adding to anti-government resentment as he launches a major pension reform. Instead, junior environment minister Berangere Couillard said hunting under the influence would be banned, training and safety rules for hunters strengthened and digital systems developed to warn other countryside users away from active hunting zones. Punishments will also be upgraded, including hunters losing their licences if they are involved in a serious accident. "My goal is to aim for zero accidents," Couillard said on a Monday trip to the Loiret department south of Paris. "We want to see better safety, seven days

Boat Accessories for the Salt Water Boat-show season was a huge success this year for both the boating industry and its consumers looking for some new boat accessories, like me. It goes without saying that the prior-year pandemic regulations created hardship for places of gathering, whether it was church, classrooms, theaters, restaurants, and yes, trade shows. With these imposed restrictions, outdoor enthusiasts took it in the teeth when it came to Sportsman and Boat Shows. But 2022 showed signs of improvement, breathing air into the oxygen-starved industry. Throughout the Pacific Northwest, what last year was a virtual echo chamber this year was an elbow-to-elbow, bustling free-for-all.

ZIMBABWE'S TOURISM CRIPPLED BY EBOLA, TAX, AND A HUNTING BAN The Zimbabwe Tourism Council has reacted to this impending ban by expressing its disappointment with this action which might have substantial impact on the hunting industry and thus on the already crippled tourism industry of the country. USA is the biggest market for Zimbabwe’s hunting packages, which are likely to be affected, but the ban also causes fear that other countries will follow such example. The argument behind these fears is that hunters will be discouraged by the fact that they can’t import their hunted goods, and they will stop hunting altogether. The ban comes after a tourist shot ‘Cecil, the Lion’, a popular Zimbabwe attraction, and is only the latest in a growing list of bans on local hunting products.

Eyre Peninsula Hunting Calendar: When Coastal Bushland Meets Outback Game - Deer, Waterfowl and Feral Pursuits Hunting Regulations & Seasonal Framework in The Eyre Peninsula The Eyre Peninsula operates under South Australia's National Parks and Wildlife Act with year-round hunting permitted for feral species including goats, pigs, foxes and rabbits across most private and designated crown lands, while deer seasons run March-October and duck hunting follows state-wide March-June windows. This unique region where coastal scrub meets outback plains maintains special restrictions within 5km of sensitive shoreline habitats and requires non-toxic shot near all wetlands, with recent reforms introducing electronic tagging for harvested feral goats to better monitor populations across the peninsula's diverse ecosystems from the Gawler Ranges ironstone country to the southern mallee districts.

Group two of this year’s trainees started their overnight hunt on Saturday morning. After hiking to their campsite with the aid of the club gps units, it was time for a quick target validation sighting session. Next it was time to hit the hills. It was a slow start with the animals all bedded down and refusing to break cover. Eventually an animal presented a shot while being tucked away in the bush. By the end of the weekend, which went late into Sunday arvo, all of group two had an animal packed into their vehicles. Once again the trainees all learnt heaps and left for home with big smiles all round. The instructors for group two were Ron, Neil, Steve and Hamish, and thanks again to Muddy Waters Hunting NZ and Hamish Luce for being our host.

End of year review: I've chosen this as my Wildlife Photo of the Year. It's a cheetah running into its new home provided by Trophy Hunters. Yes, beautifully managed trophy hunting by Zambezi Delta Safaris in 500,000 acre Hunting Block 11 has increased native wildlife to such high numbers that they were able to reintroduce cheetahs, a predator missing from the area for at least 100 years. Cabela's Family Foundation is a big part of this program. Four cheetah were released this day. I got this shot by running a GoPro 10 on video mode atop a small tripod while I operated a Canon R6 and 150-600mm Sigma. Lots of good video from both cameras, but this single frame pulled from the GoPro captured the essence of wildlife restoration advanced by and funded by dedicated sport/trophy hunters.

Hotel in Hunting Island What You Will See The Island has three miles of walkable beaches, a historic lighthouse, and ample opportunities for bird watching, fishing, crabbing, or shrimping. Shady picnic tables, showers, dressing rooms make a day trip to the beach manageable. The Island’s marshes there were used for the Vietnam War scenes in the movie Forrest Gump. Jungle and water camp scenes for the movie G.I. Jane were also shot on Hunting Island. As you drive in, you go through a maritime forest with soaring pines and palms. Nestled into this woodland setting is the Visitors Center where you can get a park map and brochure, and see exhibits on the historic lighthouse as well as on the natural flora and fauna. A small auditorium hosts educational programs on the island’s nature and history.

The German Wirehaired Pointer: A Hunter's Rugged and Reliable Companion For those of us who live and breathe hunting, the choice of a canine partner is one of the most important decisions we make. We're not looking for a pet; we're looking for a teammate, a specialist, a dog that embodies the spirit of the hunt as much as we do. The German Wirehaired Pointer (GWP) often stands out as a top contender – and for good reason. This isn't a pampered show dog; it's a versatile, tough, and intelligent hunter bred for serious work in the field. What Can a Wirehaired Pointer Hunt? The beauty of the GWP lies in its versatility. They're true multi-purpose dogs. While individual dogs may show a preference for certain game based on their training and experience, a well-bred and trained GWP can excel at: Upland Birds: Pheasant, quail, grouse, woodcock, partridge – the GWP's keen nose, methodical search, and staunch point make it a formidable upland bird dog.

How often do hunting accidents happen in France? Two people were injured by stray bullets from hunters last week, as head of hunting federation says ‘zero risk’ hunting is not possible. Since 2000, there have been 3,325 hunting accidents in France, of which 421 were fatal, figures from l'Office français de la biodiversité and la Fédération nationale de la chasse show. This is equivalent to 158 accidents per year, with 20 deaths. Since 2000, the number of accidents has gone down 40% and the number of deaths 70%, figures from L’Office français de la biodiversité show. In nine out of 10 of cases, it is hunters themselves who were the victims of accidents, and in 30% of cases, accidents were self-inflicted. Most accidents occurred during big game hunts, such as for wild boar. These figures do not include incidents that have caused injury or death to domestic animals, or instances where bullets have entered homes or cars. There are currently strict rules for hunters, which aim to re

Lever-action rifles may seem antiquated, but for some folks, they offer a great combination of hunting aptitude and self-defense effectiveness. The X Model from Henry takes their proven action and adds a bit of a tactical flair with synthetic furniture, a short rail at the end of the fore-end, and a threaded muzzle. Muzzle brakes or a suppressor can be easily added, and even for a camp rifle, being able to easily attach a light is a well-thought-out attribute. It’s a short, handy rifle that can be operated quickly and maneuvered well in tight spaces and cycled very quickly. Your caliber selection will depend on your needs. If you’re dealing with lots of bears as well as two-legged threats, the .45-70 will be the way to go. Otherwise, the .357 or .44 mag options offer plenty of power for hunting deer, and offer increased magazine capacity. Not to mention that the increased barrel length will give you better performance than a handgun will, with mild to little recoil. MSRP: $970

Waterfowl seasons follow national dates (1 September - 31 January) but are restricted to specific inland areas due to marine conservation zones. The region's hyper-oceanic climate - with 250+ annual rain days and salt-laden winds - creates compressed hunting windows, particularly for birds.

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.

Can you believe Christmas is just a week away? We all get stuck in a rut sometimes. Last night listening to our insanely talented friend Traci Sepkovic/@tlsepkovic, a guest on the @wildlifeconversationspodcast, she talked about just that. Sometimes we feel unlimited creativity and other times we just hit a wall and no matter how bad we want to be out with camera sometimes it's good just to set it down for a while, recenter and get back at it. Todays frames are some that lend to being way more creative than just always using the "good light". Yes we all love a perfectly subject from the the front or coming at us straight into the lens but the older I get and the more I shoot I would rather shoot into the light looking for the truly special moments. My wife and I love anytime we get with wildlife, even without camera in the harsh light parts of the day just being out together is what it's all about, but when the light hits just right it is truly incredible what this planet can create.

Hunting in Kabale: Geography and Natural Features, Hunting Demographics, and Game Species Diversity The first light in Kabale doesn't so much rise as it seeps through the mountain mists, slowly revealing a landscape that looks more like the Scottish Highlands than equatorial Africa. Somewhere in those damp hills, a bushbuck barks its alarm call—a sound that carries for miles in the crisp mountain air. This is hunting at elevation, where every step feels heavier, every shot more calculated, and the rewards are trophies forged in the crucible of altitude. The Roof of Uganda: Kabale’s Vertical Hunting Grounds Kabale’s terrain defies typical African hunting stereotypes. Here, the rules change: Bamboo Forests (2,500m+): Where giant forest hogs move like shadows through the fog Montane Meadows: Open slopes patrolled by solitary bushbuck rams with horns like scimitars Crater Lakes: Their steep walls create natural shooting galleries for waterfowl Volcanic Fissures: Hideouts for leopards t
