Austrian regions allow controversial wolf hunting Vienna (AFP) – Several regions of Austria have allowed the controversial killing of wolves after reporting an increase in livestock attacks, sparking debate in the Alpine EU member. The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) says the orders to kill the wolves violate European law, which lists them as protected animals. In the southern province of Carinthia, five wolves have been killed so far this year under legislation introduced in January. The killing of eight more has been authorised, according to authorities. Neighbouring Tyrol, known for cattle grazing freely on mountain pastures, has authorised the killing of six wolves -- yet to be carried out -- under a decree from February, according to province spokesman Maximilian Brandhuber. "Time and again wolves are sighted near settlements and kill livestock," he told AFP this week, adding that evidence of their presence has "risen sharply since 2019." After disappearing in the 19th century, th

JAGD ÖSTERREICH JÖ brand is about how centuries-old hunting tradition meets modernity. Hunting in Austria dates back to medieval times, with royal families like the Habsburgs playing a pivotal role in shaping the country’s hunting heritage. JAGD ÖSTERREICH continues this legacy while integrating modern conservation practices and sustainable management techniques. The nine Austrian hunting associations are strengthening their transnational cooperation. As a basis for this, they have developed the umbrella brand "Jagd Österreich".

Hunting in Kgalagadi District (Botswana): Features, Hunter Demographics, Game Categories, Seasonal Dates, Hunting Groups, Rules and Traditions. Geographic Profile of Hunting in Botswana Kgalagadi District covers 106,940 km² of southwestern Botswana, dominated by the Kalahari Desert ecosystem. The terrain consists of red sand dunes, fossil river valleys, and sparse acacia thorn veld. Key hunting areas cluster around the Nossob and Auob dry riverbeds where seasonal waterholes attract game. The region's extreme aridity (annual rainfall <200mm) creates challenging hunting conditions but produces exceptional trophy quality due to low human pressure. Profile of Hunters in Kgalagadi District Kgalagadi District issues 200-250 hunting licenses annually through Botswana's wildlife department. Most hunters are foreigners (mainly Americans, Germans, Austrians), with some local professionals and subsistence hunters. Foreigners must use licensed guides from the Kgalagadi Hunting Operators Assoc

The Hanoverian Scenthound: A Tracker's Reliable Partner For serious hunters who prioritize accuracy and perseverance above all else, the Hanoverian Scenthound ( Hannoverscher Schweisshund) deserves a close look. This isn't a flashy, multi-purpose breed, but a highly specialized tracking dog bred for one thing: relentlessly pursuing wounded game. Quarry: What a Hanoverian Scenthound Hunts The Hanoverian Scenthound's forte is tracking wounded ungulates. That means deer (primarily red deer, roe deer, and fallow deer), wild boar, and, in some regions, elk or moose. They are not typically used for birds, small game, or predators. Their focus is solely on following the scent trail of blood or disturbed ground left by injured animals. Where You'll Find Them Hunting Historically developed in Germany, the Hanoverian Scenthound's heartland remains in Central Europe. You'll find them actively working in: Germany: Especially in areas with large forested hunting grounds. Austria: Similar ter

Did you know that in Europe, the right to hunt is considered a privilege rather than a right? In many European countries, prospective hunters must pass rigorous tests and obtain licenses before they are allowed to hunt. These licenses are often restricted to certain species and areas, and hunting regulations are strictly enforced to ensure sustainable populations. In some countries, such as Germany and Austria, hunters must also undergo extensive training in wildlife biology, ecology, and marksmanship before receiving their licenses. This rigorous process ensures that hunters have a thorough understanding of their role in the ecosystem and are equipped to make ethical and responsible hunting decisions. Another interesting fact is that hunting traditions vary widely across Europe. In some countries, such as France and Italy, hunting is considered a luxurious social activity, with elaborate dress codes and exclusive hunting clubs. In other countries, such as Sweden and Finland, hunting

The Australian Deer Association (ADA) is a not-for-profit member-based organisation established in 1969 to advocate for an evidence-based approach to wild deer management and campaign for public land access for recreational deer hunting. Since its beginnings, the ADA has grown to feature an extensive branch network that covers every state and territory in Australia. This network enables the ADA to deliver local hunter education, deer management, and community and member engagement. The ADA partners with government and land managers to advocate and ensure public land access for recreational hunting is not restricted and that an evidence-based approach to wild deer management that is more considered than viewing wild deer as introduced is a reality.

Nature’s best friend: Scientists train dogs to sniff out dangerous invasive species Dogs can sniff out invasive fish in lakes without even seeing them, new research suggests. In lakes and rivers around the world, carp are wreaking havoc on local species. Native to central Asia, these common fish infest freshwater lakes and rivers, outcompeting other animals. But scientists have discovered a new tool in the fight against the invasive creature - the powerful nose of man’s best friend. According to a study by Australian and New Zealand scientists, specially-trained canines can detect whether invasive carp are present in water. In fact, they’re even better than lab tools. “(Our) findings suggest that dogs could provide an accurate and highly sensitive method of invasive fish detection,” the study authors write.

Macrozamia bush flavour for Australian aborigine hunters. Macrozamia are palm-shaped, dioecious plants with a usually unbranched trunk with several or many leaves. The leaves of the macrozamia are pinnate, pubescent, at least when young. Young macrozamia plants can differ significantly from adults in leaf details. The seeds of the macrozamia are almost spherical to oblong or elliptical in shape, with a red or, less often, yellow, orange or brown fleshy outer sarcotesta. Most parts of the macrozamia are toxic. Various species are the cause of livestock poisoning. The seeds of the macrozamia are poisonous, but the aborigines know how to handle them to remove the poison, and thus take advantage of the large amount of food provided by a single plant. Macrozamia seed cones form after some fire. Male and female seed cones form on separate plants, and large female seeds mature when they turn red or yellow. Seeds of macrozamia are a good source of starch, but when eaten without processing

To early humans, hunting was a necessity. The quarry provided not only food from the meat but also clothing from the skins, as well as material for tools from the bones, horns, and hooves. Both archaeological evidence from the past and observation of simpler societies of the present show widespread preoccupation with, and ingenuity in, methods of hunting. These varied, and vary, with the nature of the terrain, the animal hunted, the ingenuity and inventiveness of the hunters, and the materials and technologies at their disposal. Weapons ranged upward in intricacy and effectiveness from sticks and stones used to kill birds and small game to specially shaped clubs and throwing sticks such as the African knobkerry, the trombash of the Upper Nile, and the Australian boomerang; to spears ranging from simple pointed sticks to those with a separate foreshaft, usually barbed, and armed with heads of sharpened stone, bone, or metal. Except in Australia, bows and arrows were universal among earl

Australia is being ravaged by the worst wildfires seen in decades, with large swaths of the country devastated since the fire season began in late July. At least 28 people have died nationwide, and in the state of New South Wales (NSW) alone, more than 3,000 homes have been destroyed or damaged. State and federal authorities are struggling to contain the massive blazes, even with firefighting assistance from other countries, including the United States. All this has been exacerbated by persistent heat and drought, and many point to climate change as a factor making natural disasters go from bad to worse. Where are the fires? There have been fires in every Australian state, but New South Wales has been hardest hit. Blazes have torn through bushland, wooded areas, and national parks like the Blue Mountains. Some of Australia's largest cities have also been affected, including Melbourne and Sydney -- where fires have damaged homes in the outer suburbs and thick plumes of smoke have bl

Para los cazadores, los densos matorrales y humedales tienen una importancia clave, con especies como el chusao (ciervo austral) y la codorniz (codorniz chilena).

The 10 Most Exotic Fishing Destinations From Around The World! 10. Cairs & Lizard Islands - Australia Black marlin aren't found everywhere on Earth so if catching one is something you just have to do, the best place to go is Australia.

Teen hunter shoots record Virginia bull elk Congratulations to Austin Prieskorn! The 15-year-old hunter is now the proud record holder of the only Boone & Crockett (B&C) bull elk for Virginia with a score of 413-7/8” after his dad, Bo, won a Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (RMEF) raffle. As GOHUNT previously reported, Virginia announced its first historic elk season last year following a successful reintroduction effort spearheaded by RMEF. Out of the five tags available, four went to Virginia residents lucky to draw and the fifth was raffled off by RMEF. Almost 32,000 applicants vied for their chance at a once-in-a-lifetime tag, generating $513,000 for the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources general fund, according to B&C. The RMEF tag raised $93,000 and the monies will be used for elk habitat management. Bo was excited to hear that he won. “I haven’t hunted myself in seven years. It’s been all about my boys.” The Prieskorns live in New Mexico and Bo was an outfitter for 30 ye

3 EASY WAYS TO MAKE ANY WILD HOG DELICIOUS A lot of folks get nervous when you start throwing wild pig into the dinner table conversation. Log onto any hunting forum and the majority of people will say they don’t bother eating hogs for any number of reasons—smell, taste, unfounded rumors, you name it. It’s simply the majority mindset, or at least it was. Where I live in Texas, we’re inundated with these feral critters, but there’s a love/hate relationship at play. I hate that they destroy our hay fields, but I love cooking these beasts and do so on a regular basis. Like me, Jesse Griffiths thinks the pig detractors are ill-informed if not crazy, so much so that he wrote a book dedicated to cooking wild hogs. As the owner of the renowned Dai Due in Austin, as well as the mind behind The New School of Traditional Cookery, he’s been waving the banner for wild hogs since before it was fashionable. And people are beginning to catch on. Regardless, there still are some mental and actual ob
