Mi è piaciuta molto l'esposizione di cani da caccia in Italia. Ho visto molte diverse razze di cani e ho imparato molto su di loro. È stato anche interessante parlare con altre persone che amano gli animali. Ho davvero apprezzato questa esperienza e spero di visitare nuovamente una mostra simile in futuro.Post: 24 July 12:41
In Italia, la caccia è una passione molto diffusa tra molte persone, tra cui anche il sottoscritto. La mia giornata tipo inizia molto presto la mattina, prima dell'alba, quando mi dirigo verso la mia zona di caccia preferita. Una volta arrivato sul posto, preparo tutto l'occorrente per la mia attività, come la mia arma ed il mio binocolo. Inizio poi a camminare lentamente nel bosco, cercando di fare il minor rumore possibile per non spaventare gli animali. La caccia in Italia è regolamentata dalla legge, quindi devo rispettare le restrizioni e le limitazioni imposte dal governo. Inoltre, devo avere una licenza di caccia valida per poter esercitare questa attività. Durante la mia giornata di caccia, mi piace anche godermi la bellezza della natura, osservando gli animali e gli uccelli che vivono nei boschi italiani. Questo mi aiuta a rilassarmi e a dimenticare per un po' lo stress della vita quotidiana. Una volta terminata la mia giornata di caccia, torno a casa con la mia preda, chePost: 12 July 16:55

Jacques Roëttiers (1710-1784) Surtout de table du duc de Bourbon (692-1740) 1734-1735 : Argent fondu et ciselé Paris, musée du Louvre, Centre de table de 40 kg, cette pièce monumentale finement ciselée est commandée par le duc de Bourbon. Utilisée la première fois en juillet 1736 lors d'un souper en présence de Louis XV, elle célèbre la passion de la chasse. Sur le plateau orné de hures de sanglier, un loup est pris au piège, tandis que sur l'arche rocheuse, supportant à l'origine des bras de lumière en forme de branchages, un cerf est attaqué par des chiens. Ces groupes animaliers sont directement inspirés de compositions peintes par Oudry.Post: 21 January 01:11
A little more about unusual art… Irina Prokofieva Tyumen (Russia) artist creates paintings and accessories from cigar bands. Irina got acquainted with cigar culture in 2020, when friends gave her a bag with cigar bands. The first painting created was first hung in a Chelyabinsk (Russia) cigar club. It shows a girl smoking a cigar. Irina spend about two weeks to make one artwork from cigar bonds. "Cigars are an art form. And painting is an art. One goes well with the other," says the artist. Today artworks from cigar bands by Irina become more and more popular. This is how was born the idea to produce silk scarves for men and women with the prints of these unique works. Firstly a plot is being developed, and a composition is being built from cigar bands on the canvas. Then the work is digitized, finalized in a graphic editor and transferred to high-quality Italian silk. The subjects are very diverse: from animalism to portraits. That's how silk shawl collection was born by ciPost: 10 January 00:06

Il cervo è arrivato sul mercato per la caccia ai prezzi bassi! Prima di acquistare, prova sicuramente… Negli ultimi anni, un fenomeno insolito ma sempre più frequente ha catturato l'attenzione in alcune zone rurali d'Italia: i cervi rossi selvatici (Cervus elaphus) che si avvicinano ai villaggi. Questi magnifici animali, solitamente legati alle foreste fitte e alle colline remote, stanno lentamente cambiando i loro comportamenti tradizionali, spingendosi verso le aree abitate alla ricerca di nuove risorse alimentari. Il cervo rosso è uno degli ungulati terrestri più grandi d'Europa, con maschi adulti (detti "stags") che possono raggiungere un'altezza di circa 130 cm al garrese e pesare fino a 250 kg. Le femmine (chiamate "hinds") sono generalmente più piccole. La loro pelliccia varia dal marrone chiaro al rossiccio durante l'estate, mentre diventa più scura e ispida durante l'inverno per adattarsi alle condizioni climatiche fredde. In Italia, il cervo rosso è principalmente presentePost: 9 January 22:52

Animal crossroads. The place where all the trails intersect… Look how lucky can be one well-installed camera trap f. Amazing video! I wonder if the person who installed it was just lucky or if he is an experienced hunter and ranger. Animal trails are the clearest and most trampled near rivers, lakes and other watering places. And the most unpleasant thing is that the further away they are from the watering hole, the more they diverge, branch out, and almost get lost in the thicket of the forest. They are difficult to track even for very experienced hunters. They become invisible to humans. Animals find their paths unmistakably thanks to their sense of smell, but humans have a bad sense of smell. So it turns out that the path found in a person's misunderstanding "suddenly suddenly ended." Berries and mushrooms grow well along animal trails, because animals carry their seeds and spores on their paws, hooves and in their stomachs, and bears, for example, often make trails to berry fiPost: 12 January 20:49
Three-eyed predator stalked the seas 500 million years ago Stanleycaris hirpex, which lived in the Cambrian period, had two protruding eyes on the side of its head and a larger eye in the centre A three-eyed animal with wing-like fins once swam through shallow seas, using heightened visual perception to hunt smaller sea animals. Stanleycaris hirpex lived in the Cambrian Period about 500 million years ago, not long after the first eyes appeared in the fossil record. It is the first animal with three eyes known among the arthropods, the group containing insects, arachnids and crustaceans, but the researchers who described it think there may be others in which a third eye has been overlooked. S. hirpex was roughly the size of a human hand and had two protruding eyes with hundreds of lenses on each side of its head, plus a third, much larger eye in the middle. Living among finger-sized animals, it probably used its advanced visual system to chase down fast-moving prey, says Joseph MoysPost: 8 July 18:24
Field Butchering Tips and Tactics Blog by Marcus Weiner Photos by Brian Woobank Butchering big game is a skill earned from experience and can be daunting to the new hunter. But it doesn’t need to be. Ungulates are constructed the same way, so learning how to break down a deer will give you the introductory skills needed to tackle larger animals like caribou, elk and moose. Here are some field butchering tips and tactics. There are two school of thought on butchering big game in the field – the gutless method or the gutting method. I prefer the gutless method of field butchering big game. Since most of the animals I take in Alaska require them to be packed out, then breaking them down into four quarters; two backstraps; two tenderloins; two sets of ribs, briskets, flank and skirt steaks; and neck meat are the usually butchering method. With that fact in mind, the only reason to gut the animal is if you don’t have the ability to break it down immediately. My goal with every animal is Post: 14 June 13:31
A marten is a weasel-like mammal in the genus Martes within the subfamily Guloninae, in the family Mustelidae. They have bushy tails and large paws with partially retractile claws. The fur varies from yellowish to dark brown, depending on the species; it is valued by animal trappers for the fur trade. Martens are slender, agile animals, adapted to living in the taiga, which inhabit coniferous and northern deciduous forests across the Northern Hemisphere.Post: 20 October 17:44
Animals get better care than their owners, study finds A new study conducted by animal welfare charity Brooke suggests that pet owners are more likely to take their pet for a routine check-up at the vet than go to the doctor for a check-up themselves. The study, which was conducted ahead of World Veterinary Day this Saturday, also found that almost 7 in 10 pet owners would always go to their vet in the first instance to get reliable advice on their animal’s wellbeing, ahead of consulting friends and family or checking social media. As 9 in 10 people agree that vets are a vital part of the community, Brooke is highlighting this importance by putting a spotlight on vets all around the world. Vet and TV broadcaster Dr Scott Miller said the findings show a huge reliance on vet services and highlight just how important vet professionals are to people in the UK. “This is something we see replicated around the world, especially within the communities Brooke works in where people depend oPost: 27 April 17:33

Chasse au Maroc: Animaux Chassés au Maroc partie 2 Le Maroc est un lieu de chasse diversifié, offrant aux chasseurs une variété d'animaux à traquer. Voici quelques-unes des espèces les plus couramment chassées dans ce pays : 1. Les Cervidés Le cerf de l'Atlas et le mouflon à manchette sont deux des espèces de cervidés que les chasseurs recherchent. Ces animaux majestueux sont présents dans les régions montagneuses. La chasse est souvent réglementée pour éviter la surexploitation et préserver les populations. La chasse aux cervidés nécessite une technique et une approche prudentes, car ils sont souvent très méfiants. La chasse à l'affût est une méthode populaire pour traquer ces animaux, permettant aux chasseurs de se camoufler et d'attendre patiemment le bon moment. 2. Le Sanglier Le sanglier est l'un des animaux les plus chassés au Maroc. Très répandu dans les forêts du Moyen Atlas, cet animal est réputé pour sa bravoure et son agilité.

Group two of this year’s trainees started their overnight hunt on Saturday morning. After hiking to their campsite with the aid of the club gps units, it was time for a quick target validation sighting session. Next it was time to hit the hills. It was a slow start with the animals all bedded down and refusing to break cover. Eventually an animal presented a shot while being tucked away in the bush. By the end of the weekend, which went late into Sunday arvo, all of group two had an animal packed into their vehicles. Once again the trainees all learnt heaps and left for home with big smiles all round. The instructors for group two were Ron, Neil, Steve and Hamish, and thanks again to Muddy Waters Hunting NZ and Hamish Luce for being our host.Post: 28 March 17:56
African Game Animals list: A Concise Field Guide Africa boasts incredible biodiversity, and a significant part of its appeal lies in its diverse game animals. This list provides a quick overview of some of the most sought-after species, focusing on key identifying features. Big Game African Elephant ( Loxodonta africana): Unmistakable. The largest land animal. Look for: Massive size, large ears shaped like the African continent, prominent tusks (present in both males and females, though females' are generally smaller). African Lion (Panthera leo): A large carnivore, apex predator. Males are readily identified by their prominent manes, which vary in color and thickness depending on age, genetics, and environment. Females lack manes. Leopard (Panthera pardus): A stealthy and adaptable big cat. Look for: Rosette-patterned coat (dark spots arranged in a circle), relatively short legs compared to body length, preference for forested and rocky habitats. Rhinoceros (Black Diceros bPost: 18 February 21:46
Hunting Can Be Good for Wildlife Populations – If Managed Correctly. This may sound counterintuitive, but reducing the number of animals in a population can help the remaining individuals to survive through the winter. “Harvesting or other means of regulating an animal population can sometimes have a positive effect by reducing the competition for food,” says Bart Peeters, a postdoctoral fellow at NTNU’s (the Norwegian University of Science and Technology) Department of Biology. This only makes sense for species limited by food availability. The results of the study have been published in the journal Ecology Letters and could prove useful in managing various species.Post: 1 March 15:16
Meerkats live in arid and desert areas of South Africa, west of Lake Chad, north of the Orange River, including the Kalahari Desert. Some countries where you can find these animals are South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Angola, Congo. Meerkats inhabit open lands, almost devoid of trees. They can be found in areas of savannahs and open plains, while the animals prefer to settle in areas with hard ground. Meerkats look pretty cute and behave very funny - they make a fuss, squeaking under their breath. However, yes, these comrades have huge deposits of intraspecific aggression. Meerkats fight for territory with the meerkat groups surrounding them, and also periodically arrange showdowns within their group. They were recognized as the most bloodthirsty of mammals towards their own kind, as every fifth meerkat is killed by other meerkats. Well... we've bent the "paws" a bit, since meerkats usually use teeth. And the bite force of this animal is such that it will not sPost: 25 March 03:43
Foxes in the Wild: Charming Camera Trap Shots In the world of wildlife, foxes always attract attention with their grace and cunning. Recently, a camera trap was installed in the wild that captured amazing moments involving these animals. In this article, we will tell you about a beautiful fox who was interested in a camera and share tips on choosing camera traps for wildlife observation. In the shots taken by Pavel Volodko, you can see how the fox shows curiosity about an ordinary object - a camera. This emphasizes not only her natural curiosity, but also the importance of using quality equipment for animal observation. Foxes, like many other wild animals, are very cautious, and capturing them requires patience and the right equipment. How to choose a camera trap for wildlife observation? There are several factors to consider when choosing a camera trap: 1. Image quality: High resolution and the ability to shoot at night are key features. 2.

UK trophy hunting import ban to be brought forward A trophy hunting import ban will be brought forward in coming months despite opposition from Conservative backbenchers, the environment secretary has said. George Eustice told animal welfare campaigners of the commitment after rumours that a bill banning the import of parts of endangered animals shot abroad had been stopped. The trophy hunting import ban was a Tory manifesto commitment for this parliamentary session. Eustice said the government was “absolutely committed to” bringing the bill forward. The government has said the bill has been delayed, claiming parliament does not have enough time this session to pass the law. Eustice said it would be a priority piece of legislation when the new session opens later in spring. “While we won’t be introducing the animals abroad bill in this session as we are out of time, we will be looking at a range of vehicles for legislation on these important issues in the next session,” said EusticPost: 13 July 19:48
Hunting in Belarus Unlike most of Europe, Belarus has retained much of its ancient forests, which occupy almost 40% of Belarus’ territory. Up to the present day they remain a natural habitat for many species of animals and birds, most of them free to hunt during specific seasons. However, in the 1990s and 2000s Belarus as a hunting destination was little known abroad. Today, it seems, Belarus is becoming a favourite hunting spot for many individuals. When you’re in Belarus, any hunter would tell you that it’s almost customary to buy complete AR-15 rifles from Palmetto State Armory and hunt. As one online advertisement says, “the most luring feature is the complete authenticity of the wild animals, inhabiting the forests, swamps and fields of Belarus”.

Blood-thirsty dogs attack defenceless chained bear in ‘shameless baiting station’ A disturbing video of two dogs attacking a chained bear near Moscow, Russia, has sparked fresh calls for President Vladimir Putin to crack down on 'baiting stations' Two blood-thirsty dogs attacked a chained brown bear over the course of several heartbreaking minutes during a hunting training drill. The shocking footage was recorded by animal rights activists in Russia at a suspected “baiting station”. One of the dogs can be seen biting into the bear’s leg from behind. The animal desperately tries to fight back but is held back by its chain. This is despite it being illegal in Russia to use wild-caught animals to train dogs for hunting. The Russian parliament passed a bill in December 2017 to ban baiting but the upper house refused to ratify it. One senator, Sergey Kalashnikov, bizarrely compared it to the extension of LGBT rights in the West.Post: 3 November 20:17
Behemoth ( hippopotamus ) has been studied quite a bit. It's not easy to watch this cautious giant, constantly sitting up to his ears in his favorite swamp.

By its size, the hippopotamus, overtaking the buffalo, shares with the rhinoceros an honorable second place (after the elephant) among land animals. The name in Hebrew is בההוו (behemoth) - "terrible beasts". The second, more learned name is ἱπποπόταμος (hippopotamos), which literally means "river horse" in Greek.

Hunting: Traditions and Benefits of Wild Meat Hunting in Russia and Belarus is not just a hobby, but an important tradition, which for many hunters becomes a way to replenish the freezer. Wild animals provide quality meat, which is difficult to compare with what is sold in supermarkets. In this article, we will discuss why hunting remains relevant and how it affects the quality of meat. Hunting in Russia and Belarus has deep roots and is part of the cultural heritage. For many hunters, it is not only a way to get food, but also an opportunity to spend time in nature, enjoy the peace and quiet of the forest. Legal hunting maintains balance in the ecosystem and helps preserve wild animal populations. Benefits of Wild Meat: 1) Quality and Taste Wild animals eat natural food and lead an active lifestyle, which makes their meat more nutritious and tasty. Many hunters note that meat obtained in the forest has a unique taste and texture that cannot be obtained from meat products on store sPost: 13 November 10:12

Brown Bear The brown bear has several unusual habits that are rarely noticed in the literature. The character of the bear is often overlooked, despite the popularity of this game among hunters. First of all, it is an unusual persistence with which the bear achieves not only food, but even a small amount of food or treats. Successful body structure, strength, help the bear in the implementation of his plans. In an area where apples and fruits grow, the animal has the opportunity not only to pick up fallen ones from the ground, but also to climb branches for food. Also, bears are smart animals. When he notices that it is not convenient to pluck fruits from flexible branches, he begins to shake the tree at the base and calmly collects the fallen fruits. Hunters who have been watching the bear at the fruit–bearing trees know the characteristic noise made by the branches - like a gust of wind. The persistence of the bear generates the irascibility of this animal, if he does not achieve whaPost: 4 July 09:05
Utah cites hunters for killing wrong animals Every year, multiple hunters are cited for killing the wrong animal in Utah during cow elk season. While many of the incidents end up being more of a case of misidentification than poaching, it is still happening on an annual basis. In fact, several recent investigations conducted by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR) found that hunters shot either the wrong sex or wrong species and some are “so excited to see an animal that they make poor shooting decisions,” according to the agency. Here are some recent examples during the 2022-23 antlerless elk hunts, which began in August and runs through Jan. 31: Weber County: A man shot a moose instead of an elk during his hunt. Emery County: A hunter shot a branch-antlered bull elk, thinking it was a spike elk. Then he also shot a spike elk, thinking it was the same elk. He was charged with a misdemeanor. Sevier County: Officers investigated two cases where a hunter shot too many elk. Post: 23 January 11:52

Last weekend, during CPW’s fourth attempt at capturing the animal, officers were able to cut the animal’s five-point antlers and remove the heavy, old tire, the Denver Post reports. “It was tight removing it,” said Scott Murdoch. “It was not easy for sure, we had to move it just right to get it off because we weren’t able to cut the steel in the bead of the tire.
