Though ‘false spring’ fooled me yet again, the world is waking up. The buds on the aspens are getting fat. Soon enough the branches will be covered with leaves, quaking in the breeze. The bunnies have furry nests full of babies, and my doe goats look like they’ll pop at any moment. It’s an exciting time on the off grid farm!Post: 9 April 17:57
”Skoven er hjemsted for fugle og dyr, så det er meget vigtigt at vise respekt for miljøet og ikke blande sig i, hvad naturen og skovens beboere har skabt. Her kan du godt møde dyr eller unger. Hvis dette sker, så gå stille af sted, for moderen til disse babyer kan være i nærheden, og hun vil skynde sig for at beskytte sit afkom."Post: 11 December 10:08

Baboons VS Leopard Kruger National Park visitors witnessed an incredible incident that occurred near a popular picnic spot in the park. In South Africa, a large family of baboons attacked a leopard that decided to grab one of them as prey. The video shows the predator (leopard) walking along the road and then abruptly running up to the unsuspecting baboons. However, one of them, the largest, rushes in response to help his relatives. Due to their numerical advantage and lightning-fast response, the baboons managed to drive away the predatory leopard. Among the "audience" were newlyweds Merv Mersinligil and Victor Shontag, who told the press about what they saw. Merv remembers: "I jokingly told my husband: "Maybe we should warn the baboons about the leopard we just saw. And he laughed." But a moment later, the leopard was ready to spring! The baboon is widespread in Central and Eastern Africa. It lives in steppe and mountainous areas. It feeds on plant (fruits, bulbs, etc.) and animaPost: 27 March 03:18
Prehistoric women hunted as often as men and were better suited for it, scientists say Researchers say there was no indication that ‘strict sexual division of labour existed Prehistoric women frequently engaged in hunting as much as men and their anatomy also made them better suited for it, suggests a new review of studies. For decades, historians and anthropologists have held the popular view that prehistoric men were hunters while women from these times played their roles in groups as gatherers. Popular culture has also spread portrayals of men as hunters with spears in hand, accompanied by women with babies strapped to their backs and carrying baskets. But a growing body of evidence has suggested many of these conceptions about early women and men are not accurate. Prehistoric women not only engaged in the practice of hunting, but their female anatomy and biology likely made them intrinsically better suited for it, revealed two new studies.

4 Ways to Manage Buck Fever “Buck fever” is a real thing, and for some hunters it becomes a terrible monster. Just last fall I watched as one of my hunting buddies unraveled at the seams while trying to shoot a mature Coues whitetail. Despite having a stable shooting position and plenty of time, the hunter simply couldn’t execute a precise shot. Adrenaline, doubt and emotion combined to make a steady hold and calm trigger squeeze as elusive as the legendary Loch Ness monster. Adrenaline, when it hits our system, gives us extra strength and energy to combat dangerous situations or attackers, or lift cars off babies, or run and swim faster than we’re usually capable of. It also makes our heart race, our limbs tremble and our vision blur. These conditions make good shooting extremely difficult. Once we’ve missed a shot these problems rapidly escalate, because fear that the buck or bull we’re shooting at will escape sends another big adrenaline dump. Frustration and anger jump into the mePost: 17 October 10:47
