Private property owners sue over Virginia’s hunting dog law
WILSONS, Va. — Soon after Jim Medeiros bought his 143-acre (58-hectare) cattle and poultry farm in rural Virginia a decade ago, he and his wife were startled by the sounds of 20 hunting dogs barking and howling as they circled their house and chased their chickens
When Medeiros confronted a hunter nearby, the man told him he had permission to hunt on Medeiros’ property. In disbelief, Medeiros called the agency that enforces a state law allowing hunters to retrieve their hunting dogs from private property, even when the property owners object.
“He told me, you can’t prohibit people from coming onto your land,” recalled Medeiros.
He then pointed out that his land was posted with no trespassing signs.
“I said, ‘You don’t understand. My land is posted,'” Medeiros said.
You don’t understand,” the official responded. “You can’t stop them.”
After years of putting up with baying dogs and dead chickens, Medeiros and several other prope
Standardna daljina gađanja za lov je od 80 do 120 metara. Maksimalna udaljenost na kojoj su lovci inače spremni ustrijeliti npr. velikog vepra je od 130 do 200 metara, a u prosjeku negdje oko 170 metara. A postoji i postotak lovaca koji se usude pucati i dalje, do 300, a možda i više metara. To je sasvim razuman podatak, a ne izvanredan. No postoji zanimljiv trend koji su otkrile ankete. Prema njihovim riječima, za pucanje na daljinu najvjerojatnije će se odlučiti kako oni koji imaju višegodišnje lovačko iskustvo i bogatu sportsku praksu, tako i oni koji, naprotiv, nemaju iskustva i obuke na streljani. Tema ove serije materijala je toliko opsežna da ju je nemoguće pokriti u jednom članku. Moj cilj je dati čitatelju priliku da ocijeni svoje streljačke vještine, poboljša ih i poveća vjerojatnost uspješnog lova. Članak nije dogma, ali ovo nije samo moj materijal, konzultirao sam se s brojnim sportskim strijelcima, snajperistima i prijateljima lovcima čije su streljačke sposobnosti nedvojb
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

How do we vaccinate wildlife?
"There are many ways you can go about vaccinating wildlife" Scott Nuisner, a Professor of Biological Sciences and one of the authors of a study on the topic first published in Nature, Ecology & Evolution in 2020, told Euronews Next.
"We already do this actually in North America and Europe to control rabies," he explained.
"For instance, in North America, we vaccinate raccoons against rabies by dropping vaccines that are in edible baits across the landscape, out of planes or helicopters. And the raccoons eat it and they become vaccinated against rabies. And, of course, that protects us and our livestock and our pets".
This solution has proven quite successful but Nuisner specified that, for it to work, you must have the right resources available - funds to fly helicopters around and pay for the baits - and a species that’s "long-lived".
"Raccoons are short-
How the Grunt Call Came to Be
Realtree pro staffer Brad Harris was grunting up whitetails long before deer calling was cool
Brad Harris was high in a tree in Mingo Swamp in southeast Missouri when a 6-point buck walked by at about 80 yards. Harris doesn’t remember the exact year, but it was in the ’70s. He was working in the mines back in those days, and he was among several in a group who loved to bowhunt and spent about every free minute of a break talking about bows, arrows, broadheads, and whitetails. This was back in the day, Harris says, when top-of-the-line hunting equipment was a 45-pound Shakespeare recurve with cedar arrows, and just getting a deer — anything with legal antlers — was a huge accomplishment.
One of those buddies at the mine had told Harris that his brother had been hunting and listened as a little buck, standing right under his tree, had made a curious grunting sound. The guy pinched his nose and re-created the grunt himself. Harris had never heard a whitetail
HUNTER HARVESTS POTENTIAL NEW RECORD ELK
Duane Kramer is a lucky guy. Not only did he win the 2020 Keystone Elk Country Alliance Raffle, which meant he got a chance to hunt a Pennsylvania monster bull, but he actually harvested a potential new state record. Kramer, who lives in Bellingham, Washington, hired Elk County Outfitters to help him locate a big bull during this memorable hunt last October.
And, boy, did he make a good decision. While he was out in the field, he said he had plenty of opportunities at bulls over the 420” range. “There were enough 400-class bulls running around there that it wasn’t a question of getting a 400-inch bull, but a matter of how far over 400 we could get,” Kramer told Boone & Crockett.
While he was only 18 yards away from the bull he would eventually harvest, he wasn’t close enough for an ethical shot because of the harem of cows milling around him. “I thought he was going to come right for us because we were standing right in the game trail,” sai
Setup trail cameras around major summer food sources (more on this below) and on trails to those food sources. Find tips on how to hang trail cameras properly, here.
Trail camera pictures are only as useful as you make them. At the most basic level, they tell you if nice bucks are around. But what you’re really trying to figure out is where those nice bucks are heading, where they’re coming from, and where they might be vulnerable. To do that, you’ve got to really read the pictures, not just flip through them. For example, look to see if one of your target bucks is hanging out with a bachelor group of smaller bucks. That way, even if you don’t keep getting photos of the big buck, but capture shots of the smaller bucks, you can still gamble on the big buck’s general whereabouts (some of the wariest bucks are good at avoiding cameras). Years ago I got a trail camera shot of a buck with muddy legs. That told me he probably crossed a nearby swamp before coming out to feed.
