Canada goose hunting from kayak. GoPro video. An interesting fact is that of all the subspecies of geese, the Canadian goose flies the worst. This is due to its large weight. That is why the author of the video was in no hurry to get the gun out of the case. Canada geese have been introduced in Europe in the early 17th century by explorer Samuel de Champlain who sent several pairs of geese to France as a present for King Louis XIII. The Canada goose was one of the many species described by Carl Linnaeus in his 18th-century work Systema Naturae. The Canadian goose (Branta canadensis) is a waterfowl from the duck family. It is the most widespread waterfowl in North America: its population exceeds 5 million individuals. The body length of the Canadian goose is 55-110 cm, the wingspan is 120-180 cm, and the weight is 2.0—6.5 kg. The Canadian goose is native to North America. Currently, the bird breeds mainly in Alaska and Canada, including on the Arctic coasts and islands of the Canad

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.

Hunting in Centre: Peri-urban landscapes, guinea fowl and rodents, Mossi rural memory, informal hunter groups, and weak enforcement structures The shrinking wild around the capital’s shadow The Centre Region of Burkina Faso, home to the nation's capital Ouagadougou, is marked by rapid urban growth, expanding infrastructure, and dense settlement. Yet hidden in the margins of farmland and suburban sprawl lie patches of savannah, seasonal wetlands, and gallery forests that once defined this part of the country. The region’s flat, open terrain was historically rich in small game and birdlife, particularly in the transitional zones between cultivated land and natural bush. Today, these habitats are increasingly fragmented, but they still harbor pockets of wildlife and memories of a hunting culture fading beneath the hum of motorcycles and city lights.

Located just below Ouagadougou, it includes the provinces of Bazèga, Zoundwéogo, and Nahouri — areas where the landscape speaks both of cultivation and wilderness, of millet fields and game trails.

Hunting in Centre-North: Dry flatlands, Sahelian game, Mossi-Fulani tracking culture, survival-driven hunting, and weak institutional control A harsh frontier between savannah and desert The Centre-Nord Region sits at the transitional edge where Burkina Faso's central plains give way to the more arid landscapes of the Sahel. Characterized by wide, flat terrain, thorny bushes, sparse trees, and dry riverbeds, it is a land shaped by long dry seasons and short, intense rains. Historically, this region was home to roaming herds of antelope and abundant birdlife, but today its ecology is fragile, worn by drought, overgrazing, and growing demographic pressure. Despite these challenges, hunting remains deeply rooted in the rural rhythm of life, offering not only sustenance but also a cultural bridge between past and present.

Oyster hunting and sorting in 19th-century France was an essential maritime and culinary practice that reflected both the country’s deep gastronomic traditions and the evolving dynamics of coastal economies. While the term “oyster hunting” may evoke images of wild foraging, in reality, oyster production during this period was increasingly a blend of traditional harvesting, early aquaculture techniques, and organized labor—especially along the Atlantic coast and in regions like Normandy, Brittany, and the Marennes-Oléron basin. Oyster Harvesting: From Hunting to Cultivation In the early 1800s, oysters were still largely gathered from natural beds in intertidal zones, estuaries, and shallow coastal waters. Fishermen and oyster gatherers—known as *pêcheurs d’huîtres* or *parqueurs*—would wade or use flat-bottomed boats at low tide to collect oysters from rocky shores and muddy flats. This labor-intensive work required knowledge of tides, seasons, and local ecosystems. However, overharv

Crocodile hunting. Egypt, 1870s. Photographer: Henri Bechard Henri Bashar opened a studio in Cairo and sold tourists photographs with views of ancient Egyptian structures. From the 1st millennium BC to the 4th century AD (Roman period), the ancient Egyptians mummified millions of animals, most of the mummies were classified by Egyptologists as ‘votive sacrifices’ to gods and goddesses. Before the construction of the Aswan Dam, Nile crocodiles were found throughout the Nile. Moreover, in ancient times crocodiles were found in Israel, Lebanon and Syria. The ancient Egyptians hunted crocodiles for their mummies, scientists have come to this conclusion. The crocodile, from which the ancient Egyptians made one of the mummies, was not grown in special conditions at the temple. Scientists from France and the United States came to this conclusion after studying the remains using an elementary particle accelerator, the Journal of Archaeological Sciences writes.

Evolution of hunting laws and wildlife conservation/management Upon what concepts are hunting policies and laws based? Wildlife management and hunting policies have evolved over time, based largely on the “public trust doctrine,” which regards wildlife as held in the public trust and managed by scientifically based regulations. During the last century, sportsmen-conservationists demanded that their government put in place agencies, institutions, laws and regulations to conserve wildlife on behalf of the citizens. As part of that demand, sportsmen/conservationists advocated ethics and self policing by any and all who partake of America’s wild bounty. The laws, rules and regulations governing hunting form a framework for a system that is designed to provide surpluses of certain species of wildlife for hunting and fishing, revenue from which funds the conservation of all wildlife, including species that aren’t hunted. This system provides the agility for wildlife managers to respond to c

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 bi

Where Are Browning Shotguns Made? A Gunsmith’s Guide to Origins, Craftsmanship, and Global Production When it comes to legendary firearms, few names resonate like Browning. From upland bird hunters to Olympic clay shooters, Browning shotguns are prized for their reliability, balance, and timeless design. But one question continues to echo across forums, gun counters, and search engines: Where are Browning shotguns made? The answer isn’t as simple as one country or one factory. Browning’s production is global — and intentionally so. In this article, we’ll break down the true origins of Browning shotguns, model by model, and explain why the country of manufacture matters (or doesn’t) when it comes to performance and quality. 🏭 A Brief History of Browning Manufacturing Founded by the legendary John Moses Browning, the Browning Arms Company began in Ogden, Utah, in the late 19th century.
