The Cape Buffalo is considered by some to be the most dangerous of all of the Big Five. While he seems docile enough when viewed undisturbed in the herd, when agitated or wounded this bovine can be extremely aggressive, vindictive, and cunning. Found all over southern Africa in herds of various sizes, the buffalo can weigh up to 1800 pounds. He is primarily a grazer but an occasional browser who must drink every day. They favor the thick bushveld during the day, leisurely moving and grazing as they go. At night they tend to herd up to protect the young from their archenemy, the lion. Both sexes carry horns, however, the horns of a bull can be quite spectacular in spread, with a deep curl and a solid boss covering the forehead. Cows lack the boss, but can have a very wide spread; in fact, the world record buffalo on file in the Roland Ward record book is a cow with a spread of some 62 inches. With a well-placed shot, a rifle of .375 caliber is adequate for the Cape buffalo. However, a Post: 12 May 13:41
The sun started to set and the hunting session was over; it’s time to head back to the lodge. Although the end might have been disappointing, it had still been an amazing day in the wild. The next afternoon, Ian was against the clock only having a limited time of sunlight left. Thankfully Gavin has an extensive knowledge of these lands and it doesn’t take long to locate the herd of eland once again. However, by the time they had found the animals the sun had begun to set and a safe, clean shot was no longer available.Post: 2 April 10:31
Тур Тур, или первобытный бык, или первобытный дикий бык, или европейский дикий бык[4] (лат. Bos primigenius, лат. Bos taurus primigenius[6]) — вымершее парнокопытное млекопитающее из рода настоящих быков семейства полорогих. Один из прародителей современного крупного рогатого скота. Самым близким родственником является ватусси. Жил со второй половины антропогена в лесостепях и степях Восточного полушария. Ныне считается вымершим в результате хозяйственной деятельности человека и интенсивной охоты. Последняя особь не была убита на охоте, а погибла в 1627 году в лесах недалеко от Якторова[pl] (в Польше, в 50 км от Варшавы) — считается, что из-за болезни, которая затронула маленькую, генетически слабую и изолированную популяцию последних животных этого вида.Post: 24 October 18:58

The Beretta Legacy: A 500-Year History of Italian Firearms Excellence Explore the incredible 500-year history of Beretta, the world's oldest gun manufacturer.

Récemment, la Fédération des chasseurs du Tarn a donné quelques nouvelles d’Obélix, un sanglier capturé et équipé d’un collier GPS le 31 mars dernier dans le cadre d’une étude menée sur le Grand Albigeois. Déjà près de 3000 positions GPS ont été enregistrées lors des déplacements du suidé qui permettent d’en apprendre plus sur ses activités et ses habitudes. La première chose que les techniciens ont pu remarquer, c’est que Obélix est plutôt du genre « pantouflard ». Il passe son temps sur un secteur de seulement 500 hectares, là ou d’autres sangliers suivis dans le cadre de cette même étude comme Charlie, avaient à l’époque roulé leur bosse sur près de 30.000 hectares. Le suivi des déplacements des sangliers montre donc bien de grandes différences dans les déplacements et dans les distances parcourues lors d’une période donnée. Il faudra encore récolter de nombreuses informations pour savoir si ces différences sont le fait des animaux suivis ou des saisons.Post: 13 July 17:25
Holland&Hollandは、イギリスのロンドンに拠点を置くイギリスの銃メーカーおよび衣料品小売業者で、手作りのスポーツライフルとショットガンを提供しています。 同社は2つのロイヤルワラントを保有しています。 ハリスホランドは1806年にロンドンで生まれました。 彼の経歴の説明はやや大ざっぱですが、彼の父はオルガン製作者であり、ハリスはロンドンでタバコ卸売業を営んでいたと考えられています。 彼は成功し、多くの場合、重要なロンドンのクラブで様々な鳩の撮影で見られただけでなく、ヨークシャーのライチョウの湿原をリースしました。 彼自身の子供がいなかったので、彼は1861年に甥のヘンリーホランドを見習いとして連れて行きました。 1867年にヘンリーはパートナーとなり、1876年に名前がHolland&Hollandに変更されました。 ヘンリーは完全なパートナーでしたが、ハリスは厳格な管理を維持し、1896年に亡くなるまで小切手に署名できる唯一の人でした。 最初に、銃は住所なしで碑文H.Hollandを退屈させ、そしてこれらが彼のデザインへの貿易で建てられた可能性があります。 ハリス・ホランドがいつ製造を始めたかは不明ですが、1850年代と推定されています。このスタートは、Purdey、Boss、Lang、Lancasterなどの他の人がJoseph Mantonに見習いをしていたのに対し、Beesley、Grant、Atkinなどの他の人がPurdeyまたはBossに見習いをしていたため、ロンドンの最高のメーカーの中で彼を非常に珍しいものにしています。 1883年、ホランド-アンド-ホランドは雑誌"The Field"が主催するトライアルに参加し、ライフル部門のすべてを獲得した。 これは、英国の銃メーカー間の競争のための卓越性の新しい基準を設定しました。 1885年、特許がオランダ&オランダに付与されましたパラドックス銃、銃身の2インチ前にライフリングが付いた散弾銃。 1908年に、彼らはサイドロック散弾銃のために、小さなレバーで取り外し可能なロック機能の特許を取得しました。 サイドロックサイドバイサイドガンの進化における最後の主要な開発は、H&Hアシスト開口機構が特許を取得した1922年に発生しました。 この銃は、自己開放ロイヤルサイドPost: 23 November 05:41

The banteng is a good-sized ox, closely related to the gaur, but smaller and lighter, with a less developed dorsal ridge, relatively longer legs, a more elongated head and smaller ears. The tail is tufted and reaches below the hocks, and there is an imperfectly developed dewlap. Banteng found in Australia are handsome animals of the Javan type. Young bulls are reddish-brown until about age three, becoming blackish-brown or black when fully mature, the blackish coloration progressing from front to back. Very old bulls may turn gray.

The horns are relatively short and slim, round in cross section, more or less wrinkled nePost: 6 July 09:28
