WHY YOU NEED TO BE HUNTING SQUIRRELS RIGHT NOW What if I told you about a hunting opportunity that’s happening right now, which offers abundant access to productive land, requires a minimum of technical gear, and provides the chance to bring home tasty meat that is routinely overlooked for its palatability? You’d probably think I was blowing smoke, but I’m talking about one of the most neglected and productive hunts in the U.S.—for common tree squirrels. Squirrel seasons start now, in the lazy days of late summer, giving you time (and an excuse) to get out in the woods to scout for deer while also ground-truthing the gear that you’ll rely on all autumn. But you don’t need an excuse to go squirrel hunting. The first argument in its favor is that squirrels live almost everywhere, from the leafy hardwoods of the East to the piney woods of the South to the mountains of the West. Squirrel hunting is also a great way to introduce new shooters to small-game hunting. The two squirrel spe

Quail Hunting in Utah Do You Hunt Western Quail? If you own a good pair of running shoes — or better yet, a trained hunting dog — hunting Gambel’s quail in southwestern Utah might be a fun adventure this fall. Population Estimates, Where to Hunt Utah’s quail hunt opened Nov. 3. The number of Gambel’s quail has dipped a bit this year, but decent numbers of birds should still be available. You can hunt both Gambel’s and California quail until Dec. 31. (Utah is also home to a small population of scaled quail, but hunting for them is not allowed.) Jason Robinson, upland game coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources, says opportunities to hunt California quail in Utah are limited: most California quail are found in Duchesne and Uintah counties on land that’s either privately owned or part of the Ute Indian Reservation. (If you decide to hunt California quail, look for them in river bottoms that have Buffalo berry and Russian olive trees in them.) Hunting Gambel’s quail is differen

Creating a Tribal Restoration Workforce The rain slowly fell on a cool May morning as a small crowd of people gathered in a pullout alongside an old logging road in Ketchikan. The blend of official U.S. Forest Service vehicles and uniforms intermixed with private vehicles and casual clothes gave a clue to the diversity of people in attendance. The crowd was comprised of varied backgrounds and employers. Tribal members, hydrologists, fisheries biologists, chainsaw crews, and various staff were all there for one thing: to teach and learn the skills necessary to restore streams and improve fish habitat in the Tongass National Forest. In the summer of 2021, the Forest Service announced their plan to move away from large scale, old-growth logging in the Tongass and instead invest in restoration, recreation, and forest resilience. This new strategy is welcome news on the Tongass, which is part of the largest intact temperate rainforest on the planet, and the robust tourism economy and subs

Border Terrier: The Rugged Little Hunter You Might Be Overlooking The Border Terrier. Most people picture a scruffy, friendly family dog. But beneath that charming exterior lies a tenacious, skilled hunter that's been quietly working alongside sportsmen for over a century. If you are looking for a versatile, hardy, and manageable hunting companion, it's time to consider this breed. What Does a Border Terrier Hunt? Don't let their size fool you. Border Terriers were originally bred to bolt foxes, meaning their primary job was to drive foxes out of their dens so the hounds could continue the chase. This inherent drive translates into a surprisingly versatile hunter: Fox: This remains their forte. They are relentless at the den and possess the grit to stay at it. Badger: Similar to fox, they will readily go to ground after badger. Rats and Vermin: An absolute terror to rodent populations. Excellent for farm and estate work.

A young brown bear searches for food at low tide, looking for crabs or small fish under rocks. A bear walks along the shore eating crabs and barnacles at low tide and grasses in Glendale Cove, British Columbia, Canada. Brown bears are one of the most powerful land mammals. The bear's front paws, armed with powerful claws, are a universal tool with which the beast digs a den, digs up the holes of marmots and ground squirrels, turns over rocks that are too heavy for humans, breaks trees, and catches fish. Claws are excellent ground hooks. Thanks to them, bears can easily move along steep slopes, where it is difficult for a person to stay. Grizzly bears are one of the strongest land mammals, their strength is comparable to that of 3-5 humans. They can easily flip over large rocks in search of food. In the video, a young bear turns over a rock with one paw to find small fish and crustaceans hiding at low tide.

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.

Hunting in North-West Cameroon: Misty Highlands, Montane Wildlife, and the Resilience of Tradition in a Region of Cultural Richness and Ecological Contrast Highland forests, volcanic slopes, and ecological transitions The North-West Region of Cameroon is a land of dramatic elevation and striking contrasts — from the mist-covered hills of the Bamenda Highlands to the grassy escarpments near Mount Oku. Situated on the western edge of the Cameroon Volcanic Line, this region boasts a unique mixture of montane forests, savannah patches, and forest-savannah mosaics.

Hunting Grounds in BEN AROUS: Communities and Demographics, Laws and Legislation of Ben Arous Topography and Ecological Setting in Tunisia, Ben Arous Region Ben Arous, a small but densely populated governorate just south of Tunis, is primarily known for its industrial zones and suburban sprawl. However, the region also features transitional ecological areas that include cultivated lands, olive groves, and fragmented forest patches near Hammam Lif and Borj Cédria. The landscape is flat to mildly undulating, and while not a primary hunting destination in Tunisia, it supports certain types of seasonal hunting thanks to its residual green zones and agricultural buffers. The Mediterranean climate in Ben Arous allows for moderate biodiversity, particularly among birds and small mammals, whose presence is amplified in the outskirts away from urban pressure. Local Hunting Community and Participation in the Region The hunter population in Ben Arous is smaller than in more rural governorates

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

Pulsar Axion 3 Compact XQ30 Pro Thermal Imager (2024 Model) Review Having had the opportunity to test the Pulsar Axion 3 Compact XQ30 Pro thermal imager, I'm excited to share a detailed review highlighting its strengths and weaknesses. As someone who often ventures into the great outdoors for wildlife observation and night-time explorations, I find thermal imaging devices to be invaluable tools. Here’s my take on the Axion 3. Pros: Exceptional Image Quality: The Axion 3 boasts an impressive resolution of 640x480 pixels, which provides clear and sharp images, even in low-visibility conditions. The thermal sensitivity (NETD < 25mK) truly allows you to see fine details when tracking heat signatures.

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.
