Hunting in Croatia Croatia is a country of arich hunting tradition, attractive hunting areas and diverse wildlife. Modern organized hunting in Croatia began in 1881 and by then hunting had adouble role throughout the history. The majority of poorer and mainly rural population found hunting extremely important for daily survival struggle, since it represented an important food source, while the wealthy aristocratic minority hunted for fun, pleasureor social status confirmation. In 1881, the Government of the Kingdom of Croatia and Slavonia decided to confirm so called “Hunting Rules” developed by “Society for defense of hunting in the Kingdom of Croatia and Slavonia” and already in 1882 the society published “The First Common Croatian Hunting and Fishing Cultivation Society Courier ”.

When is the right time to restrict your aging hunting dog from the field? With shaking hands and nervous anticipation, I slipped the GPS collar around Winchester’s neck and felt the subtle trembling always present prior to launch. For a moment, I considered leaving the collar in the truck, knowing my big running partner wouldn’t be running strong enough for me to fear him going over the edge of nowhere, one of the defining characteristics of our 12-year relationship. He sat quietly, except for the gentle thumping of his tail on the seat, while I assembled the Winchester 101, 12-gauge, I had also considered leaving in the truck. But, Winchester knew that the gun and the collar meant a hunt, and their absence meant the outing was only a walk. The March morning had dawned clear and cold, suggesting the snow cover in the mountains would present a crust that would support Winchester’s weight. Opportunities for the perfect conditions that once were a luxury had become a necessity for Winc

Discovery ED-ELR 5-40X56SFIR Scope Review I've had the opportunity to test the Discovery ED-ELR 5-40X56SFIR scope, and I must say, it has both impressed and challenged me.

За 100 лет из-за охоты рог носорога уменьшился в три раза Изменения могут быть совместным результатом естественного отбора и браконьерства. Ученые из Кембриджского университета выяснили, что за последнее столетие рога этих млекопитающих значительно уменьшились в размерах. Они сделали такой вывод, проанализировав фотографии носорогов, сделанные между 1886 и 2018 годами. Исследование опубликовано в журнале People and Nature. Специалисты изучили фотографии 80 носорогов, сделанных с 1886 по 2018 годы. Архивные снимки онлайн-хранилища Rhino Resource Center содержали кадры всех пяти видов носорогов: белого, черного, индийского, яванского и суматранского. Измерив длину тела и головы, ученые выяснили размер рогов особей и установили, что за последние сто лет они значительно уменьшились у всех видов носорогов. «В ходе эволюции рог развился у носорогов не просто так: разные виды находят рогам различное применение, скажем, используют их для добычи еды или защиты от хищников.

Narochansky Eel and the Art of Ukha: A Taste of Belarusian Tradition Nestled within the pristine waters of Lake Naroch, the Narochansky eel is a prized delicacy in Belarusian cuisine. This freshwater eel, known for its rich, tender meat, has long been a staple for local fishermen and culinary enthusiasts alike. Traditionally, it is smoked or prepared in hearty stews, offering a deep, smoky flavor that pairs beautifully with rustic Belarusian dishes.

The soup is made by simmering fresh fish (including eel), potatoes, onions, and fragrant herbs, creating a light yet flavorful broth. Some variations include a splash of vodka for an extra layer of warmth and depth. The combination of Narochansky e

Эрдельтерьер Самого крупного из британских терьеров вывели примерно в середине XIX века, в долине Эрдель (западная часть графства Йоркшир), впоследствии давшей название породе. Увлекшиеся таким незатейливым развлечением, как травля речных выдр, английские работяги время от времени баловались скрещиванием отдельных разновидностей терьеров. Подобным образом подсевшие на жестокую игру обыватели планировали вывести сильную, ухватистую собаку, способную бить рекорды по отлову грызунов. В конечном итоге один из экспериментов, в котором приняли участие рыжий и староанглийский черно-подпалый терьеры, дал свои плоды. Так на свет появились первые эрдели. Поначалу эти четвероногие «йоркширцы» не имели отдельного имени, поэтому в разных частях страны их называли водными, рабочими, жесткошерстными и береговыми терьерами. Официально переименовать животных в эрдельтерьеров, утвердив их как самостоятельную породу, удалось лишь в 1886 году. Генофонд собак постепенно расширялся. Кинологи уверены, что

Five Top Tips to Improve Low <strong>Light</strong> Hunting Illuminated Reticles One of the most popular simple solutions to low <strong>light</strong> hunting is to buy

Five Top Tips to Improve Low Light Hunting Illuminated Reticles One of the most popular simple solutions to low light hunting is to buy a riflescope with an illuminated reticle, whereby a light source is directed onto the aim points of the reticle, highlighting the reticle in red, green or blue. The illumination is variable and this allows the shooter to increase the brightness of the reticle to suit the shooting conditions. Hawke Optics have several illuminated riflescopes with illumination control and options of red, green or blue to suit the shooters preference. Illuminated reticles are most useful at dawn or dusk, after this time it is better to illuminate the target with an external light source. View the entire collection of Hawke Reticles.

After extensive use in various hunting conditions, here's my honest review highlighting both the positives and negatives of this optic.

Heckler & Koch SLB 2000 Light Semi-Automatic Rifle in .30-06 with Swarovski Habicht 2.5-10x56 Scope Review As an experienced hunter who has taken this rifle on multiple hunts for wild boar and deer, I can confidently say that the Heckler & Koch SLB 2000 Light is a premium firearm with both strengths and weaknesses.

Прогулка №3. Опять о Вилии Длина маршрута около 45 км На этот раз движение начнем от Михалишек, где в 1600 году был заложен монастырь с костелом. Первое упоминание о Михалишках относиться к 1518 г. В 1669 году великий князь Вишневецкий освободил на 10 лет всех жителей от налогов. Обратитесь к истории, прочтите, зачем он это сделал… В 1885 году здесь строятся синагога, еврейская школа, пивоварня. До сих пор остались застройки ХIX века. Притягивает к себе и величественная Вилия.

Can you believe Christmas is just a week away? We all get stuck in a rut sometimes. Last night listening to our insanely talented friend Traci Sepkovic/@tlsepkovic, a guest on the @wildlifeconversationspodcast, she talked about just that. Sometimes we feel unlimited creativity and other times we just hit a wall and no matter how bad we want to be out with camera sometimes it's good just to set it down for a while, recenter and get back at it. Todays frames are some that lend to being way more creative than just always using the "good light". Yes we all love a perfectly subject from the the front or coming at us straight into the lens but the older I get and the more I shoot I would rather shoot into the light looking for the truly special moments. My wife and I love anytime we get with wildlife, even without camera in the harsh light parts of the day just being out together is what it's all about, but when the light hits just right it is truly incredible what this planet can create.

BUSHNELL ELITE 6500 2.5-16 X 50 MULTI-X Review As an avid shooter and hunter, I recently purchased the BUSHNELL ELITE 6500 2.5-16 X 50 scope and have been thoroughly impressed with its performance.
