Life of a Sockeye On July 22nd, 2021, news broke that Bristol Bay was having its biggest sockeye salmon return since recordkeeping began in 1893. More than 63 million sockeye had returned to the bay’s different watersheds and fish were still running. By the time the run was complete, almost 66 million sockeye had returned on their journey to complete the life of a sockeye salmon. A few days later, I left town to guide a natural history brown-bear film shoot in Southeast Alaska. One of the sequences we were trying to get was of a bear chasing salmon underwater. We had a camera in an underwater housing submerged near the base of a raging waterfall. It could be operated from 100 yards away with an iPad. On its screen, I watched dozens of pink salmon and small, darting, feasting Dolly Varden. In the middle of the frenzy was a salmon with a crimson body and green head—a male sockeye. It was swimming in place beneath the falls, waiting for the right moment to attempt climbing them so it cou

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

Fishing in Sweden Fishing in Sweden in its 100,000 lakes, wild waterways and along the coast is a trip of a lifetime. Come hook a salmon, trout or Arctic char. Sweden’s biggest lake is Lake Vänern (south west) at around 5,600 square kilometres surface area. It’s so big it has its own weather system, and an archipelago of some 20,000 islands. If you’re thinking that this creates fantastic angling possibilities you’d be right; you can go trolling for landlocked salmon and trout, pike and zander. Southern Sweden features mostly lowland lakes holding pike, zander and perch and coarse species. As you travel northwards, the landscape changes; more rugged, hilly and forest carpeted with thousands of lakes holding pike, perch and carp in the far south, as well as brown trout, grayling and zander. As you approach the tree line in northern Sweden, where the giant spruce forests end, Arctic tundra, meadows, glaciers and towering mountain peaks take over. Up here the lakes are full of brown tr

Potato Latkes with Alaska Salmon Roe “These little potato cakes called latkes are quick, simple, and versatile. I serve them as a side dish to roasted birds or as a brunch dish topped with eggs and smoked salmon. There are plenty of other uses, but for me the best is the way I had them as a kid. I remember watching my grandmother patiently and lovingly grate potatoes then onions by hand into a bowl. She would crack a few eggs, season with salt and pepper and stir gently so the mixture would just barely assemble. Using a spoon, she would scoop a little batter out and in a well-rehearsed manner, then she would drop them carefully one by one into a hot skillet generously slicked with duck fat. As the cakes sizzled, the intoxicating aromas filled our tiny kitchen. I stood by her side like an untrained puppy panting for his treat. She would give me the very first one, hot, straight out of the pan, unadorned. She would blow on it lovingly so it would not burn my lips and as I took a bite,

Talarik Creek Lodge: Hunting for Trophy Rainbow Trout I answered him that it was not, and he shrugged off the 18-inch Arctic grayling on the end of my line like it was a piece of weed. My wife had sent us fishing that evening to catch some fresh grayling for dinner and our goal was now achieved, with four large, translucent-white-fleshed fish having been plucked from the cold waters of the Newhalen River. The author’s son Lucas with what he calls “a real fish” also defined as any rainbow trout over 20 inches caught on a fly rod. What is it about rainbow trout that incites such excitement? Why is it that when fishing guides congregate around a fire the conversation always finds its way to rainbows, not salmon, not char, not pike, but definitely rainbows? “Keep it in the water,” “Careful, don’t drop it,” and “Nice release,” are all phrases I’ve heard said and spoken myself. I have a personal admiration for the green-speckled creatures, and rainbow trout fishing has a cult following tha

The Roadless Rule in the Tongass National Forest is Vital for Both Hunters and Brown Bears There’s a long history of Alaskan hunting guides stepping up to protect the Tongass. In the mid-1980s an old, dying bear hunter named Ralph Young sat in the back of a skiff, squinting through the rain at the ocean and mountains of Southeast Alaska. In the bow, huddled against the wind and rain, sat a teenager named Klas Stolpe. The two would be out for a month or two, until most of the salmon had spawned and the bears had left the streams for the high country. The old man didn’t especially enjoy the kid’s company but, due his to declining health and old age, he needed his help for basic things like getting in and out of the boat. They motored past once pristine bays, where years ago the old man guided legendary hunters like Warren Page and Jack O’Connor. Now, those lands were clear-cut logged. He pointed the skiff toward Admiralty Island, the heart of rainforest grizzly country, and opened the

Fishing in Latvia Fishing for food has been a topical activity since the beginning of humankind. However, even today it has not lost its influence and significance. It is a great way to be alone with nature or to spend time with family or like-minded people. The diversity of nature offers the opportunity for a chilled family holiday by the sea, river or lake, and allows a passionate fisherman's dream of a big catch to be fulfilled. There are many different fish species in Latvian waters, and none of them are poisonous or dangerous to health. The most popular of these are pike, pike-perch, trout, carp, tench, perch, vimba, roach, bream, flounder and smelt, but the biggest pride of a fisherman is catching salmon or sea trout. Several fish species spend most of their lives at sea, only arriving in rivers during spawning, but some of these fish live and spawn in Latvia's rivers and lakes.

The Grizzly Bear Chair is a gift from hunter Seth Kinman to President Andrew Johnson. 1865, USA Seth Kinman (September 29, 1815 – February 24, 1888) was an early settler of Humboldt County, California, a hunter based in Fort Humboldt, a famous chair maker, and a nationally recognized entertainer. He stood over 6 ft (1.83 m) tall and was known for his hunting prowess and his brutality toward bears and Indian warriors. Kinman claimed to have shot a total of over 800 grizzly bears, and, in a single month, over 50 elk. He was also a hotel keeper, saloon keeper, and a musician who performed for President Lincoln on a fiddle made from the skull of a mule. The Grizzly Bear Chair is a unique chair presented to Andrew Johnson, the 17th President of the United States, in 1865. It was made of bear skin and decorated in a style popular at the time. The chair became a symbol of Johnson's personal preferences and reflected his connection with nature and the frontier spirit. The armchair not only s

By Frank Gentile, Hopewell, N.Y. It was October 2011, and I was back in my Chevy Tahoe on my way to another hunt. This time, instead of my son, I was traveling with my hunting buddies. My buddies and I had been on plenty of trips together before but never to Texas! Between the four of us and gear for six (two of our team opted to fly from New York to San Antonio), every single spare inch of space in the truck had been utilized. With each of us taking turns driving, we made it to Texas in about 20 hours. We got dinner and hotel rooms in Texarkana, and were back on the road early the next morning. With a day to spare before we were due at our hunting camp in Hondo, Texas, we headed south with plans to enjoy the city of San Antonio along the way. In San Antonio, we explored the Alamo, the River Walk and the Buckhorn Saloon and Texas Ranger Museum. What a great city! Our first order of business after arriving at the camp the next morning was to make sure that our rifles were on target.

In un salone di bellezza per cervi. Sì, è vero! Le gazze, insieme ad altre specie di uccelli come le ghiandaie e alcune specie di passeri, a volte si comportano da **"pulitori"** nei confronti dei cervi o di altri grandi mammiferi. Questo fenomeno rientra in una relazione ecologica chiamata “mutualismo”, in cui entrambe le parti traggono vantaggio dall'interazione. Come funziona questa interazione: 1. Vantaggio per le gazze: Le gazze si nutrono dei parassiti (come zecche, pidocchi o larve) che vivono sulla pelle o nella pelliccia dei cervi. Questi parassiti rappresentano una fonte di cibo ricca di proteine per gli uccelli. 2. Vantaggio per i cervi: I cervi beneficiano della rimozione dei parassiti, che possono essere fastidiosi, causare prurito, trasmettere malattie o indebolire l'animale nel lungo termine. La presenza delle gazze aiuta quindi a mantenere la loro pelliccia più pulita e sana. Un esempio di cooperazione naturale Questo tipo di interazione non è limitato all

František Ferdinand d´Este jako vášnivý lovec Zámek Konopiště založil nedaleko svého rodového sídla Benešova kolem r. 1294 pravděpodobně pražský biskup Tobiáš z Benešova a to podle vzoru francouzských pevností, s válcovými věžemi, s parkánem, 4 bránami a padacím mostem Současnou podobu však zámek dostal až na přelomu 19. a 20. století, kdy zámek i s celým panstvím od Lobkoviců koupil František Ferdinand d´Este, od r. 1896 následník císařského trůnu, který byl vášnivý lovec. V rámci prohlídky, proto můžete vidět, mimo jiné sbírku jeho zbraní, loveckých trofejí i jeho soukromé pokoje. František Ferdinand d´Este ulovil za svůj život téměř 300 000 (uvádí se 274 889) kusů zvěře. Na zámku je asi 1,5 % těchto trofejí, tj. 4055 trofejí - z toho v lovecké chodbě na 1. prohlídkové trase je umístěno 860 trofejí a ve vitrině 3500 jeleních zubů – kelců; v parůžkovém salonu na 3. okruhu je 1122 srnčích parůžků a v přilehlé věžičce je umístěno 154 kamzičích růžků, dále na jedné z chodeb ve 3. pa

Zámek Blatná patří k významným mysliveckým památkám díky své expozici sbírek loveckých trofejí, loveckých zbraní, gotických nástěnných maleb s loveckými náměty. V zámku můžete nalézt lovecký salón i odkaz věnovaný F. d.Estemu. Dnešní zámecký soubor Blatná patří nesporně mezi stavebně-historicky nejhodnotnější a architektonicky nejvýznamnější památky svého durhu u nás. Svou dlouhou historií, svébytnou architekturou ve vzácně dochovaném prostředí parků a vodních ploch i současným stavem se řadí ke klenotům mezi hradními komplexy. Vedle Švihova a Červené Lhoty je jedním z nejzachovalejších vodních panských sídel v České republice. Stavebně historický vývoj učinil z tohoto objektu pozoruhodnou ukázku uměleckých slohů minulých staletí, a protože se během svého vývoje nacházel převážně v držení významných šlechtických rodů, byla Blatná místem, kde se rodily a přetvářely dějiny střední Evropy.

A SIXTH SENSE? I returned to the same ranch the following autumn with my two sons with the intent of tagging a couple of those bucks. However, I had no intention of letting them shoot a buck as it ran to the sound of the landowner’s ATV. Even if I did, it wouldn’t have mattered. The deer didn’t come running, preferring instead to wait for the cover of darkness to come to the corn, despite that the ranch’s deer were rarely hunted. Do whitetails have innate ability to know when something poses a risk or when it doesn’t? There’s no way to tell, but it sure seems that way. As Salamone suggests, urban deer seem to know when a human in their woods is hunting them and when he isn’t. That’s why we need to take all the precautions we can, no matter where we hunt. It’s okay to relieve yourself under your treestand, but if you must drive an ATV, park it as far away from your stand as you can. And leave the cigarettes in your pocket until you kill a deer. The odor of smoke might not spook deer

👋🏻 ¡Estamos de vuelta una temporada más! Comienzan los movimientos migratorios, aunque todavía menores. Las palomas torcaces se posicionan en el sur de Suecia y Finlandia a la espera para dar el salto, aunque desde Finlandia ya se registran algunas salidas de miles de palomas torcaces en días anteriores. Para la semana que viene se espera que el mal tiempo al norte de los países nórdicos acumule grandes bandos de miles de palomas al sur de estos países. 📈 En la última semana de septiembre hubo un incremento de un 92% de avistamientos más de palomas torcaces y palomas zuritas respecto a la media en semanas anteriores. El mayor movimiento en este comienzo de temporada se ha dado en los dos primeros días de este mes de octubre, cuando se registraron un total de 32.300 palomas torcaces desplazándose por Europa con la mayor afluencia de ellas cruzando entre Finlandia y Estonia. En estos primeros desplazamientos por Europa destacamos los del sur de Finlandia y norte de Estonia con may
