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 #APost: 21 October 09:25
Journey to summer south of the Equator (during winter in the U.S.) for diverse trout fishing in a beautiful, serene, and welcoming country. Chile has mountain peaks higher than the Rockies as well as plant and animal species found nowhere else on the planet, which makes it both different and special. Chile is renowned for its beauty and natural resources. In fact, in the 1920s the country put into operation one of the finest national park systems in the world. If you’re really thirsting for adventure, you can visit our Argentine lodges in the same trip—no flights required, just a beautiful drive over the Andes. Our Chilean program offers a truly unique opportunity to hunt for the enormous Red Stag that roam this part of the Central Valley of Chile. The area combines abundant food, great cover and more than 80 years of selective herd management, producing some of the biggest wild stags in the world.

ORANGE IS A NEW BLACK Stay safe when hunting by following these tips: -Check weather reports before embarking on a hunting trip. -Tell someone where you will be hunting and when you will return. -Be familiar with the area you want to hunt. Bring a map and compass. -Carry a basic survival kit and be prepared for an unexpected overnight stay in the field. The survival kit should contain a rope, a knife, water, waterproof matches, an emergency shelter, and first aid supplies. -Dress properly and be prepared for the worst possible conditions. -Wear hunter orange as your outermost gear so that you are visible to other hunters. Do not wear white or tan during deer season. -Always treat your weapon as if it is loaded, even if it isn't, and know where your hunter partners are located at all times. -If accompanied by a dog, the dog should also wear hunter orange or a very visible color on a vest, leash, coat or bandana. Check the state regulations to determine if a dog is allowed on a hunt. -Post: 19 May 11:46
