Wheatbelt WA Hunting Calendar: When the Grain Fields Yield Their Bounty - Foxes, Rabbits and Cropland Pursuits Hunting Regulations & Seasonal Framework in Wheatbelt WA The Wheatbelt region operates under Western Australia's strict Wildlife Conservation Act with year-round hunting permitted for declared pests including foxes, rabbits, feral cats and pigs. Duck seasons follow federal guidelines (typically March to June), while deer hunting is limited to specific properties with established populations. The Mediterranean climate creates distinct seasonal patterns - summer heat (December-February) reduces daytime activity, making autumn and winter (April-September) prime hunting periods. Unlike neighboring Perth regions, the Wheatbelt maintains more flexible pest control regulations due to agricultural impacts. Recent reforms include mandatory online reporting of feral animal harvests and expanded shooting restrictions near settled areas following the 2022 Firearms Act amendments.

Anschutz 1516 .22 WMR: A Hunter's Honest Review As a hunter who's been tracking game and spending time at the range for years, I have a soft spot for quality rimfire rifles. The Anschutz 1516 in .22 WMR has been on my radar for a while, and after putting it through its paces, here's my no-nonsense take: The Good (Where the 1516 Shines): Unrivaled Accuracy: This is where the Anschutz truly stands out. The match-grade barrel and precise manufacturing translate to incredibly tight groups. Even at 100 yards, it's consistently accurate, making it a top choice for small game hunting and target shooting. I have to say that the .22 WMR version of the 1516 may actually be better that it's .22 LR brother in this instance. Exceptional Trigger: The trigger is crisp, light, and adjustable. It's a joy to use and significantly contributes to the rifle's overall accuracy. High-Quality Build: Anschutz rifles are known for their craftsmanship, and the 1516 is no exception.

Hunting in France: the hunt or chasse Hunting in France is, at least in rural parts, an institution. It has apparently not shown a decline in numbers in recent decades (although a lot of the hunters appear rather elderly...). Hunters in France come from all social backgrounds, which probably in part explains the lack of hostility to hunting that is seen in those countries where it is largely the gentry who control the hunting. Hunting is to be distinguished from 'pest control'. Control of foxes, ragondin or pigeons for example, usually falls to local specialists rather than the main hunters. Hunters are usually looking for deer, hares, rabbits and wild boar, and game birds such as partridge or pheasant. In France hunters almost always hunt with dogs, but usually on foot - less commonly on horseback. The dogs may be owned by the individual owners or by the hunt as a whole. The dogs belong to specific breeds of hunt dog. Most hunters in France belong to a specific type of 'pack of hunPost: 14 June 17:07

5 Best States for Pig Hunting Looking to hit the road for a hog hunt? These five stops are prime for swine Feral hogs are one of the country’s great ecological disasters. Few pests are more difficult to control, or more immediately detrimental to native ecosystems. In fact, some biologists consider hogs to be the most destructive invasive species on the planet. Though their spread across the United States has been slowed a bit over the past few years, thanks to smart regulations and trapping measures, wild pigs are nonetheless here to stay in many parts of the country. Unfortunately, new pig populations most often arise because people intentionally relocate them in hopes of hunting them. That’s why states without existing pig problems have actually taken to outlawing pig hunting — much to the consternation of local hunters who can’t understand how not shooting pigs is actually the best way to control them. But the reality is, pigs breed too fast, and are too intelligent, to control thPost: 23 May 11:28
Tracking Calendar and Rules: A Hunter’s Insight into Hunting Opportunities in the Australian Capital Territory Understanding Hunting Seasons and Wildlife Management in the Australian Capital Territory The Australian Capital Territory (ACT) , home to the nation's capital Canberra, is a unique region where urban life meets wild landscapes. Unlike many rural areas across Australia, hunting opportunities in the ACT are limited and highly regulated due to extensive land protection policies and the presence of national parks. The only legal form of hunting permitted here is for feral animals , primarily feral pigs and deer , and even then, only under strict conditions on private land or through approved wildlife management programs. The main hunting window typically opens from April to August , aligning with the cooler months when feral species are more active and easier to track. These dates are reviewed annually by the Environment, Planning and Sustainable Development Directorate (EPSDD)Post: 22 August 14:32

Blaser R93 This is an unconventional design that could only come from Germany. The Blaser’s straight-pull bolt action is a marvel of Teutonic engineering, designed for extremely rapid shooting on driven game. The beauty of this rifle, though, is its versatility. Simply by swapping a few components, the R93 can be chambered for any cartridge ranging from .22 LR to .500 Jeffrey. A small take-down case can house the rifle along with an extra barrel or two, creating an incredibly versatile and convenient package for the international hunter.

High Country Hunting Calendar: Mastering Alpine Seasons for Sambar, Deer and Mountain Game Hunting Regulations & Seasonal Framework in the High Country The Australian High Country operates under strict state-based regulations with Victoria and NSW managing respective alpine zones. Sambar deer hunting runs year-round in both states as an invasive species control measure, while fallow deer seasons typically span March-October. Duck seasons follow state protocols (March-June in Victoria, variable in NSW). The alpine environment creates compressed hunting windows - heavy snow blocks access June-September, while summer brings park visitor restrictions. Unlike lowland regions, the High Country's vertical terrain means game concentrations vary dramatically by elevation. Recent reforms include mandatory GPS collar returns from harvested deer in Victorian Alpine National Park control zones and real-time online fire danger maps affecting access.

Fox Hunting in Britain Fox hunting has been occurring in different guises worldwide for hundreds of years. Indeed the practise of using dogs with a keen sense of smell to track prey has been traced back to ancient Egypt and many Greek and Roman influenced countries. However it is believed that the custom for a fox to be tracked, chased and often killed by trained hunting hounds (generally those with the keenest sense of smell known as ‘scent hounds’) and followed by the Master of the Foxhounds and his team on foot and horseback, originated from a Norfolk farmer’s attempt to catch a fox using farm dogs in 1534. Whilst foxes were widely regarded as vermin and farmers and other landowners had hunted the animals for many years as a form of pest control (both to curb their attacks on farm animals and for their highly prized fur) it wasn’t until the eighteenth century that fox hunting developed into it’s most modern incarnation and was considered a sport in its own right as a result of thePost: 26 May 12:32
Australia is being ravaged by the worst wildfires seen in decades, with large swaths of the country devastated since the fire season began in late July. At least 28 people have died nationwide, and in the state of New South Wales (NSW) alone, more than 3,000 homes have been destroyed or damaged. State and federal authorities are struggling to contain the massive blazes, even with firefighting assistance from other countries, including the United States. All this has been exacerbated by persistent heat and drought, and many point to climate change as a factor making natural disasters go from bad to worse. Where are the fires? There have been fires in every Australian state, but New South Wales has been hardest hit. Blazes have torn through bushland, wooded areas, and national parks like the Blue Mountains. Some of Australia's largest cities have also been affected, including Melbourne and Sydney -- where fires have damaged homes in the outer suburbs and thick plumes of smoke have blPost: 1 November 23:15
Harris Hawk: One of the Most Popular Birds Used in Falconry, History, Hunting Behavior, Training. The Harris hawk (Parabuteo unicinctus) has a legacy that stretches back over 2,000 years. Indigenous tribes like the Aztecs revered these raptors for their intelligence and hunting prowess. By the 16th century, Harris hawks were used in falconry during the reign of King Henry VIII. Their cooperative hunting style and adaptability made them ideal for European terrains, and by the late 1800s, they were imported from the southwestern U.S. and Mexico to Europe for pest control and sport hunting. Today, Harris hawks are flown in falconry across North America, the UK, Spain, and Portugal. Their social nature and trainability have made them the go-to bird for both novice and expert falconers. 📊 Popularity and Breeding Statistics Harris hawks dominate the falconry scene: • Over 2,500 Harris hawks are registered in the Baywing Database • Captive breeding programs have produced thousands of biPost: 15 August 19:08

Wolf hunting is the practice of hunting wolves. Wolves are mainly hunted for sport, for their skins, to protect livestock and, in some rare cases, to protect humans. Wolves have been actively hunted since 8,000 to 10,000 years ago, when they first began to pose a threat to livestock of Neolithic human communities. Historically, the hunting of wolves was a huge capital- and manpower-intensive operation. The threat wolves posed to both livestock and people was considered significant enough to warrant the conscription of whole villages under threat of punishment, despite the disruption of economic activities and reduced taxes. The hunting of gray wolves, while originally actively endorsed in many countries, has become a controversial issue across the globe. Most people see it as cruel, unnecessary and based on misconceptions, while proponents argue that it is apparently vital for the conservation of game herds and as pest control.Post: 28 June 11:30
Hunting in Ibanda: Uganda's Best-Kept Secret for hunters, Geography, Game Diversity, and Ethical Safari Traditions Demographics: Hunters in Ibanda Exact hunter numbers are not publicly available, but the region attracts both local subsistence hunters and international sportsmen. Foreign hunters typically book through licensed safari operators, while locals engage in small-scale hunting for food and pest control. The Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) monitors hunting activities to ensure sustainability. The morning sun burns away the mist clinging to Ibanda's rolling hills, revealing a landscape that seems plucked from an old hunter's dream. Here, where the savanna folds into forested valleys, a duiker's alarm call echoes like a starting pistol - nature's way of announcing the day's hunt has begun. Unlike Uganda's better-known reserves, Ibanda offers something increasingly rare: untouched wilderness where the only tracks you'll follow are those left by wildlife, not tourist vehicles.

Saskatchewan taking steps to control wild boars and feral pigs As wild boars continue to run rampant in Saskatchewan, the provincial government said it is taking steps to address the issue. The province said it will proactively enhance and broaden the regulation and control of wild boars and feral pigs. It will include adding the animals as regulated pests. The president of the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities has been calling on the province to shut down the wild boar farms. Ray Orb told Global News last month that the animals destroy cropland and get into grain crops. “But they also get into pastureland so they can get into native forage. They can do a lot of damage in a short period of time,” Orb said. “It’s just the nature of those animals that they can do that.” Wild boars are also known to harass livestock and wildlife. The province said it is developing regulations for the licensing of existing wild boar farms and imposing a moratorium on new farms. “InPost: 28 July 18:30
Melaleuca forest. Melaleucas are an important food source for nectarivorous insects, birds, and mammals. Many are popular garden plants, either for their attractive flowers or as dense screens and a few have economic value for producing fencing and oils such as "tea tree" oil. Most melaleucas are endemic to Australia, with a few also occurring in Malesia. Seven are endemic to New Caledonia, and one is found only on (Australia's) Lord Howe Island. Melaleucas are found in a wide variety of habitats. Many are adapted for life in swamps and boggy places, while others thrive in the poorest of sandy soils or on the edge of saltpans. Some have a wide distribution and are common, whilst others are rare and endangered. Land clearing, exotic myrtle rust, and especially draining and clearing of swamps threaten many species.Post: 14 June 19:58
