Quail Hunting in Utah Do You Hunt Western Quail? If you own a good pair of running shoes — or better yet, a trained hunting dog — hunting Gambel’s quail in southwestern Utah might be a fun adventure this fall. Population Estimates, Where to Hunt Utah’s quail hunt opened Nov. 3. The number of Gambel’s quail has dipped a bit this year, but decent numbers of birds should still be available. You can hunt both Gambel’s and California quail until Dec. 31. (Utah is also home to a small population of scaled quail, but hunting for them is not allowed.) Jason Robinson, upland game coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources, says opportunities to hunt California quail in Utah are limited: most California quail are found in Duchesne and Uintah counties on land that’s either privately owned or part of the Ute Indian Reservation. (If you decide to hunt California quail, look for them in river bottoms that have Buffalo berry and Russian olive trees in them.) Hunting Gambel’s quail is differenPost: 6 July 22:06

Hunting in TOZEUR: Tunisian Laws and Legislation, Clubs and Communities, Demographics and Geography (PART II) Hunting Seasons and Optimal Times Hunting in Tozeur is regulated by the national hunting calendar, with the main hunting season taking place from October to February. The best times to hunt in Tozeur are during the cooler months of fall and winter, when temperatures are more bearable and wildlife is more active.

Waterfowl hunting, while less common in Tozeur compared to other regions, can be pursued during the winter months when ducks and geese are migrating. The cooler weather anPost: 4 August 10:36
Hunting dog survives 50-foot fall into well, rescued by Texas game wardens Maria, a bird dog, was chasing an injured quail when she went missing. Texas game wardens had to get a bit creative while rescuing a hunting dog name Maria who found herself lost at the bottom of a well in South Texas during a recent hunting trip. According to the game wardens blotter, during the course of the quail hunt on a property in Jim Hogg County, Maria had chased an injured bird through a thicket and didn't return, which worried her owners. They began an immediate search and eventually found her trapped about 50 feet down at the bottom of a well on the property. Game wardens in Jim Hogg County, typically tasked with enforcing the state's hunting and wildlife laws, were quick to arrive and used a makeshift pulley system to lower a kennel to the bottom. Inside the kennel, they placed hunted quail to entice Maria inside, wardens said. After some time, the pup eventually moved into the crate. Maria waPost: 22 March 09:57

Pheasants Forever - In 1982, a group of pheasant hunters saw the connection between upland habitat loss and declining pheasant populations. An organization dedicated to wildlife habitat conservation was needed, and Pheasants Forever was formed. Then in 2005, as quail numbers continued to decline nationwide, passionate conservationists across the country stepped up once again to found Quail Forever. Together, Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever’s mission work quickly garnered it a reputation as “The Habitat Organization,” a tagline the nonprofit conservation group uses proudly to this day.

Duck Hunting Methods in Morocco: Field-Proven Techniques, Regional Strategies & Dog Work 🦆 Duck hunting in Morocco isn’t a packaged experience—it’s raw, seasonal, and shaped by terrain, weather, and tradition. From the tidal lagoons of Merja Zerga to the inland marshes of Tadla, each region demands a different approach. This guide breaks down the actual hunting methods used by Moroccan waterfowl hunters, with detailed insight into setups, dog breeds, regional tactics, and how the hunt unfolds in real time. --- 🎯 Morning Flight Shooting (Most Common Method) This is the bread-and-butter technique for duck hunters across Morocco.

Hunting in TUNIS: Demographics in Tunisia, Geography, Local Laws, Clubs and Communities, Hunting Legislation of Tunisia (PART II) Hunting Seasons and Optimal Times The hunting season in Tunis follows the national calendar, with the best hunting times falling during the fall and winter months. The period from October to February is ideal for both small game and bird hunting, as this is when wildlife is most active and migratory birds are passing through the region. Early mornings and late afternoons are typically the best times for hunting, especially for small game like rabbits and hares, as these animals are more active during the cooler parts of the day. Bird hunting, particularly for migratory species, peaks during the fall when large flocks of quail, thrushes, and other migratory birds make their way through Tunisia. These birds stop to rest in the fertile habitats of Tunis, making it a prime location for hunters. Waterfowl hunting is also most productive during the winter monthPost: 5 August 09:28

Taxidermy Is Art. No Debates Needed. 🎯 I hunt because I love nature. I mount trophies because I respect it. Taxidermy isn’t some weird obsession or macho flex. It’s the way I capture the wild — raw and honest. That moment when I locked eyes with a rutting buck, or the adrenaline when the boar came crashing through the thicket… a picture fades. A head mount? That’s memory solidified. That’s real. Some folks say it’s just “stuffed animals.” Yeah? Then you’ve never watched a true taxidermist breathe life back into glass eyes and cured hide. It takes more than glue and foam — it takes knowledge, precision, and soul. That’s craftsmanship. That’s art. These trophies on my wall? They aren’t kills. They’re chapters. They’re why I remember every sunrise I froze through, every footprint I followed, every time I sat in complete silence — just waiting. I don’t do it for show. I do it because the wild deserves to be remembered properly. Call it what you want. I call it respect in its purest,Post: 7 July 20:05
Hunting in TATAOUINE: know more about Hunter Demographics and Participation, Geography and Ecological Features (PART II) Hunting Seasons and Optimal Times in the Area The hunting season in Tataouine is generally aligned with the national hunting calendar, with small game hunting taking place from October to February.

Migratory bird hunting, particularly for quail and pigeons, is a highlight of the hunting season in Tataouine, with hunters focusing their efforts from November to January, when birds are most abundant. During these months, the cooler weather makes hunting more comfortable, and the region’s oases and water sources become prime areas for attracting game. Hunting in Tataouine during the summer months is difficult due to the extreme heat, which can make both hunting and tracking challenging. The dry conditions also make it harder to find wPost: 4 August 10:24

Today, I had a very special encounter at sunrise: I managed to spot and photograph a cross fox. They are a melanistic color variation of the red fox. It’s a very, very rare sight. A few years ago, a study in Scandinavia examined 3,000 red foxes, and only 0.3% of them had this melanistic variation. In recent years, I’ve seen a few of them around Abisko.

Hunting with Hawks Perhaps you'll never try falconry yourself. Katherine Browne once thought the same thing. But these days, the Prois pro-staff coordinator and licensed falconer does her small-game hunting with a raptor named Hades Katherine Browne’s hunting partner, Hades, can be a little high strung and aggressive at times, but Browne overlooks it. Hades is pretty good at what he does, and that behavior is typical for his kind. A northern goshawk, Hades is a member of the raptor family, and his natural maneuverability and speed make him a top predator and excellent hunting companion. When Browne, the dealer relations and pro-staff coordinator for Prois Hunting Apparel, is not working, you can often find the licensed falconer training Hades to hunt ducks, pheasant, grouse and quail in the woods and fields by her home. How does a young woman, such as Browne, become a falconer? “I have always been intrigued by raptors, and I love the idea of being a part of something wild and ancientPost: 27 July 18:13

BASC - BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR SHOOTING AND CONSERVATION BASC plays a crucial role in preserving shooting traditions in UK while adapting them to meet modern standards of sustainability and ethics. The British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC) is one of the largest hunting organizations in the UK. TRADITION AND CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE Shooting has deep historical roots in British culture, dating back centuries to medieval times when it was practiced by royalty and nobility. Over time, it became a popular pastime among rural communities, fostering connections between people and the natural world. The origins of BASC date back to the mid-19th century when hunting was an integral part of rural life in Britain. Initially founded as the "National Wildfowlers' Association" in 1865, the organization aimed to protect the rights of wildfowlers (waterfowl hunters) and promote ethical hunting practices. Over time, its scope expanded to include all forms of shooting—game birds, dPost: 12 February 17:34
5 Off-Season Treestand Safety Reminders Do You Follow These Safety Rules? The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission is reminding hunters to give some thought to hunting safety, especially for treestands during the off-season. It may seem counterintuitive at this time of year, but treestand safety is important at times other than hunting season. "Unfortunately, every year there are a number of treestand accidents with injury before deer season even opens," said Travis Casper. "We need hunters to think about and practice treestand safety all the time, not just during hunting season." If you are scouting a location and putting up your treestand, even on a trial basis, use the same precautions you would during hunting season: Wear a full-body safety harness. Use a lifeline or lineman's belt to stay connected when you're off the ground. Maintain three points of contact when climbing. Follow manufacturer instructions. Have an emergency signal and tell someone where you plan to go. ThePost: 13 July 11:17
