IT'S NO SECRET that I'm addicted to studying and sharing the rich history of American archery and bowhunting. Today I'm focusing on Roy Case (1888-1986), rightfully known as "The Father of Wisconsin Bowhunting" and the man widely credited with coining the term "bowhunter." He's also recognized as the first-ever licensed archer to tag a deer during any state's firearms season. Archery history was made December 6, 1930, when Case arrowed a spike buck in Vilas County, Wisconsin. At that time, he was shooting a longbow and wood arrows equipped with steel broadheads of his own design -- the Case Kiska hunting head, which he made and sold nationwide between the 1920s and 1950s. He also wrote and published stories about his various archery hunts in "Ye Sylvan Archer" magazine. Also noteworthy is the fact Case worked to establish America's first bow-only deer season in his home state (1934). His work with hunting heads helped establish modern day legal broadhead standards that are still in

Hunting in Maniema: Regional Landscapes, Traditional Hunting Roles, and Wildlife Abundance Geography and Natural Features in Maniema Maniema is located in the heart of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and is characterized by dense equatorial rainforests, winding rivers, and elevated plateaus. The province is largely covered by the central Congo Basin forest, with significant biodiversity and a humid tropical climate that supports rich flora and fauna. Rivers like the Lualaba and Elila shape both the ecology and the way of life, making Maniema one of the most forested and biologically productive provinces in the country. Human Presence and Hunting Activity The province is home to various ethnic communities, including the Lega, Kusu, and Songola, many of whom rely on the forest for subsistence. Hunting remains a vital activity, not only as a food source but also as part of cultural identity. While some hunting supports local markets in bushmeat, most of it is non-commercial and f

New initiative targets Colorado mountain lion hunting What will the future of Colorado mountain lion hunting look like? A new petition filed with the Colorado Supreme Court is asking for a proposed ballot to be blocked that would request voters to approve a “statewide ban on hunting mountain lions, bobcats and Canada lynx.” Opponents say that the measure is “misleading” and multiple mistakes were made by the Colorado Secretary of State’s Title Board prior to getting the measure approved for the November 2024 ballot, according to The Colorado Sun. However, last week, a second initiative, Initiative 101, was filed that requests a limit (not ban) to hunting mountain lions, bobcats and lynx in an effort to curb trophy hunting. If approved, this limit would require “every carcass – excluding usable meat – to be turned over” to prevent “mounting, displaying or preserving wildcats as ‘souvenirs of their hunts.’” Initiative 101 does allow a two-week mountain lion and bobcat season at the en

How the Grunt Call Came to Be Realtree pro staffer Brad Harris was grunting up whitetails long before deer calling was cool Brad Harris was high in a tree in Mingo Swamp in southeast Missouri when a 6-point buck walked by at about 80 yards. Harris doesn’t remember the exact year, but it was in the ’70s. He was working in the mines back in those days, and he was among several in a group who loved to bowhunt and spent about every free minute of a break talking about bows, arrows, broadheads, and whitetails. This was back in the day, Harris says, when top-of-the-line hunting equipment was a 45-pound Shakespeare recurve with cedar arrows, and just getting a deer — anything with legal antlers — was a huge accomplishment. One of those buddies at the mine had told Harris that his brother had been hunting and listened as a little buck, standing right under his tree, had made a curious grunting sound. The guy pinched his nose and re-created the grunt himself. Harris had never heard a whitetail

Red-Tailed Hawk: The Ideal Bird for Beginner Falconers Among the many raptors used in falconry, the Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) stands out as the most accessible and forgiving bird for newcomers. With its calm temperament, broad hunting capabilities, and adaptability to diverse environments, this North American native has earned its reputation as the go-to hawk for apprentice falconers. --- 📍 Why Red-Tailed Hawks Are Perfect for Beginners 1. Temperament and Trainability Red-tailed hawks are known for their docile nature, especially when compared to more temperamental species like goshawks or peregrines. They’re less prone to panic, easier to handle, and respond well to positive reinforcement. Their intelligence allows them to quickly associate cues with rewards, making them ideal for structured training. 2. Availability and Legal Access In the United States, red-tailed hawks are abundant and legally permitted for use by apprentice falconers under federal and state regu

Game licences to kill or take game are not required in England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland. However, in Scotland, a venison dealer’s licence is still required for those wishing to deal in venison although deer stalkers can sell their venison direct to a venison dealer without the need for a licence. On the Isle of Man a game licence is required in order to shoot game and is available from the Treasury Office. Game is defined as pheasant, partridge, grouse or moor game and hare (brown or common). A game dealer’s licence is also required for those wishing to deal in game. There is no requirement for a game licence on Guernsey but you must hold an appropriate firearm or shotgun certificate. In Jersey there are no game seasons and therefore a game licence is not required.

In Chile, an Animal Whose Numbers Please No One CERRO SOMBRERO, Chile — The guidebooks for Tierra del Fuego somehow fail to mention the gunfire. From the mist-shrouded Patagonian steppe to the dense beech forests, shots pierce the air here for months on end each year. Hunters armed with telescopic rifles roam this archipelago at the southern tip of South America in pickup trucks as they pick off their prey: the guanaco. Humans have already hunted the guanaco, a wild cousin of the llama, out of existence across big swaths of the continent. While hunting the animal here is legal, the culling of Tierra del Fuego’s guanaco herds is setting off a fierce debate over the fragile recovery of a native species and the sway of powerful ranching and logging interests, which contend that rising numbers of guanacos are competing with sheep for pasture and foraging in commercial hardwood forests. “We’re witnessing a grotesque subordination to businessmen who view a creature of remarkable beauty a

When it rains, it pours: Bangladesh wildlife trade booms during monsoon The illegal wildlife trade in Bangladesh increases during the wet season due to a shortage of livelihoods and poor surveillance, a study has found. Killing and trading wildlife has been illegal in Bangladesh since 2012, but a culture of hunting means the problem still persists, wildlife officials say. Wildlife markets trade in animals and parts from species such as tigers and crocodiles, with the more lucrative end of the trade thriving in areas with a weak law enforcement presence and close proximity to a seaport or airport. Efforts to tackle the trade are limited by law enforcement restrictions, with the Wildlife Crime Control Unit (WCCU) lacking the authority to arrest suspects and reliant on local agencies for investigations and legal action. DHAKA — It’s the monsoon season in Bangladesh, where the annual rains are both a boon for farmers and a worry for many living in flood-prone areas. For the country’s wild

Huge Zimbabwe Elephant Killed Legally, Says Wildlife Authority Harare: The hunt that killed one of the biggest elephants seen for years in Zimbabwe was legal, the wildlife authority said today. The Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Authority (ZimParks) said the elephant which was killed last week in the southeastern part of the country had tusks weighing 54 and 55 kilogrammes respectively adding that proceeds from the hunt would go towards wildlife conservation. "On the 7th of October 2015, an adult male elephant was hunted as a trophy by a foreign client through a locally registered safari company in Malipati Safari area," the ZimParks statement said. It said the area was "allocated sustainable quotas and hunting permits for all wildlife species including elephants on annual basis."

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.

Two incredible boars, each with trophy-grade tusks, taken after days of effort, tracking, and adrenaline. This isn’t staged — it’s the kind of hunt that stays with you for years. For those who know what it’s like to chase wild boar in tough terrain, you’ll appreciate the challenge. These hunters earned every second of it — and you can see it in their faces. Hunts like these remind us why we do it — the camaraderie, the raw nature, and the stories that follow. Respect to the team. That’s one for the books.

CNW- The Government of Antigua and Barbuda has denied its representatives on the International Whaling Commission (IWC) are assisting with efforts to repeal the whaling ban.

In Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, and before, and now they hunt with the help of golden eagles. These birds tamed by man are excellent hunter's assistants. There are even competitions for the extraction of a fox or a hare with the help of a golden eagle. Such hunters are called berkutchi. There are about a hundred of them in Kazakhstan. Scientists during the excavations found the bones of golden eagles in the sites of primitive people. Thus, archaeological sensations proved that fishing for small animals with the help of birds of prey was popular among the Turkic peoples three millennia ago. This ancient method of hunting was described in detail in the book of the traveler from Venice, Marco Polo, who lived in the thirteenth century.

Murthly & Strathbraan Estates are situated at the entrance to the Scottish Highlands. The Estate is wonderfully located by the river Tay near Dunkeld. Murthly & Strathbraan Estates extends to some 11,000 acres. The ground ranges from rolling arable land with ancient woodlands up to the Strathbraan Hills to the West. The Estate benefits from excellent topography allowing us to show superb driven partridges and pheasants. SHOOTING A day’s shooting or stalking at Murthly & Strathbraan Estates begins with a warm welcome from our head keeper Fergus McGregor and his team, at a traditional Perthshire farm court which has been converted for the use of guns, and is heated by a wood-burning stove. Since 2002, Fergus has continuously improved the shooting experience, using the wide variety of terrain to be found at the foot of the soft Perthshire Highlands to give you an exciting and varied day out. As a result we have built up a loyal customer base, with shooting parties returning year after

Pheasant shoots scaled back across UK after bird flu import bans Pheasant shoots across the UK are being shut down or dramatically scaled back this year because of import bans on the birds after an outbreak of bird flu. A huge number of the gamebirds shot in the country are imported from factory farms in Europe. Experts have said this practice should stop or be reduced because it risks spreading disease and has troubling implications for native nature and biodiversity. Just under 50 million pheasants are usually released each year from continental farms. A recent study suggested that at their peak in August each year, non-native common pheasants and red-legged partridges make up about half of all wild bird biomass in Britain. The annual shooting season begins on 1 October. Jeff Knott, the central and eastern England director at the RSPB, said: “The most important thing from our perspective is the bird flu situation underlines the risks of importing and releasing millions of birds i

Lynx gracefull hunter Lynx swims well and is not afraid of water like domestic cats. There is documentary evidence that one lynx swam 3.2 km across the Yukon River. Also, the lynx is good at climbing and hiding in trees, escaping from opponents high in the trees. It is considered that lynxes hunt exclusively on the ground. But as you can see from this video, a mountain river is also a suitable place. Lynx (bobcat ) eats 0.6—1.2 kg per day. Mainly hunts the American white hair, which takes up tu 97% of it the total diet. The percentage depends on the season and the number of hares. When there are not enough hares, lynxes begin to hunt ducks, grouse, partridges, squirrels, voles thereby causing serious damage to some of these bird species. Young ungulates (for example, Dall sheep, black-tailed deer, northern forest caribou) can also be a prey. In summer and autumn, the lynx often adds small mammals to its diet, in addition to the hare. Before giving birth to offspring, the lynx prepar

Falconary in China. Mongolian men sell falcons in Beijing. China, circa 1900. Falconry is a very ancient art. According to one version, it originated in Asia. The homeland of falconry in China is considered to be the district of Akhchi Kezilesu-the Kyrgyz Autonomous Region of Xinjiang. One of the small ethnic groups of China, the Kyrgyz, who own falconry techniques and preserve the traditions of this art form, lives compactly in this area. The earliest image of falconary is a bas–relief discovered on the territory of modern Turkey and dated to the 13th century BC. On it, a young man holds a falcon on one hand, and with the other holds a strap that goes to the bird's feet. In the second century BC, the Chinese emperors used trained falcons to catch pheasants. In the III century AD, falconry penetrated from China to Korea and Japan. Already in the XI century AD, falconry in China and than in whole Asia developed as a form of culture. Genghis Khan (1155-1227) was a specialist, connoi

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

Benelli Shotguns: A Legacy of Innovation for the Modern Hunter For generations, the name Benelli has been synonymous with speed, reliability, and cutting-edge design in the world of shotguns. If you're serious about hunting, you've likely considered or even own a Benelli. But how did this Italian company become a global leader, trusted by hunters in diverse environments? Let's dive into the story. The Birth of a Legend: From Motorcycles to Shotguns The Benelli story begins, surprisingly, not with firearms, but with motorcycles. In 1911, the Benelli brothers – six in total: Giuseppe, Giovanni, Francesco, Filippo, Domenico and Antonio – opened a garage in Pesaro, Italy, repairing and manufacturing motorcycle parts. After World War I, they built their first complete motorcycle in 1921. Benelli motorcycles quickly gained a reputation for performance and innovation, achieving racing success throughout the 1920s and 30s. However, in 1967, the Benelli Group, seeking diversification, turne

WISCONSIN BOWHUNTER ATTACKED BY BLACK BEAR When you’re hunting from a treestand, the last thing you expect is for a bear to climb up to attack you. Unfortunately, that’s what happened to Wisconsin bowhunter Dalton Roach. The 300-lb black bear, curious as to what Roach was doing up in the tree, climbed up and bit him in the back, KARE reports. “It’s definitely not totally uncommon for a bear to go into a tree with a hunter,” said Roach. “But the fact that he actually started gnawing on me and stuff, like that was a little abnormal.” He initially spotted the bear from his treestand and started recording it; however, “[b]y the time he was under my tree and then up behind me, [it] was 15 total seconds,” said Roach. Fortunately, he realized the situation he was in and didn’t panic despite the fresh puncture wounds and proximity to the bear. “I kind of pulled myself out and then stood around, and turned kinda in one motion to then face the bear and then just started yelling and holle
