Our good friend Joe Tenney of Creek Side Deer Recovery in Ohio put this shot chart together with help of several Ohio Trackers a couple years ago. Now please read my words carefully, these pins were from deer that were tracked by a dog. These pins represent the outcome of the track. When you see a green pin that means there was proof of life, a trail cam pic, sighting or jump on track. The moral of the story? If you make a good bad shot in center mass the dog is going to find that deer! Stay low and stay off the shoulder! Most of these pins are archery tracks!

Unveiling Traditional Hunting Methods in Africa: Skills That Endure. While modern firearms dominate hunting landscapes worldwide, Africa holds a rich heritage of traditional hunting methods, born from necessity and shaped by centuries of intimate knowledge of the land and its wildlife. These techniques, passed down through generations, represent a deep connection to the environment and a mastery of tracking, camouflage, and weapon crafting that can still offer valuable insights to the modern hunter. This article explores some of the most effective and enduring of these practices. 1. The Art of Tracking: Reading the Language of the Wild Before any weapon is employed, the traditional African hunter excels at tracking. This is not merely following footprints; it's interpreting a complex narrative etched into the earth. A skilled tracker can discern: Species Identification: Differentiating tracks based on size, shape, gait, and habitat. Animal Age and Sex: Clues within the track c

Hunting Ammo: What to Look for in a Big-Game Bullet Hunting bullets have come a long way since the first round lead ball was launched game-ward from a long-barreled muzzleloader. Bullets now are long and streamlined, tipped with space-age material, and constructed of copper married to lead through special bonding processes. They are incredibly accurate, highly aerodynamic, and boast superb terminal performance. They are the finest killing projectiles the world has ever known; that’s a great thing for us as hunters.

Fox Hunting in Britain Fox hunting has been occurring in different guises worldwide for hundreds of years. Indeed the practise of using dogs with a keen sense of smell to track prey has been traced back to ancient Egypt and many Greek and Roman influenced countries. However it is believed that the custom for a fox to be tracked, chased and often killed by trained hunting hounds (generally those with the keenest sense of smell known as ‘scent hounds’) and followed by the Master of the Foxhounds and his team on foot and horseback, originated from a Norfolk farmer’s attempt to catch a fox using farm dogs in 1534. Whilst foxes were widely regarded as vermin and farmers and other landowners had hunted the animals for many years as a form of pest control (both to curb their attacks on farm animals and for their highly prized fur) it wasn’t until the eighteenth century that fox hunting developed into it’s most modern incarnation and was considered a sport in its own right as a result of the

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

Winchester SXR Tracker .308 Win Review I recently had the opportunity to use the Winchester SXR Tracker in .308 Winchester, and I would like to share my experiences with this semi-automatic rifle. First off, the build quality of the SXR Tracker is impressive. The design feels solid and robust, which is reassuring, especially when considering this rifle is intended for both hunting and sport shooting. The polymer stock is lightweight yet durable, providing good ergonomics for extended use. The rifle is well-balanced, making it comfortable to carry and shoot. One of the standout features of the SXR Tracker is its reliability. I took it out on a few hunting trips, and it performed flawlessly, cycling through various types of ammunition without a hitch. This is crucial for any hunting rifle, as you want something that you can count on when it matters most. In terms of accuracy, I found the SXR Tracker to be capable of delivering consistent shots, especially at medium ranges. With the

Hunting stories 3 years in the making: A bowhunt for bull elk. By WYATT O'DAY My love of bowhunting started around the age of four when my father gave me my first bow. Every night, I would go outside and shoot with him. As a kid I dreamed of the hunt and when I would finally kill my first bull elk with a bow. By the age of six, my father started taking me elk hunting with him. I watched him hunt as he called in and killed multiple bulls in front of me. Then, finally it was here — the year that I had been waiting for so long had come: the year that I was old enough to hunt! At 12 years old, I had several encounters with bulls, but was never presented a clear shot. The second year, I had a total of six nocked arrow encounters with bulls, but still no shot. Finally, the third year rolled around and at 14 years old, I was more than ready for my first bull.

We don't usually think of moose hunting as the kind of hunting when we need to do a lot of glassing. While standing in a good spot and calling can be successful, my favoured approach is to use optics to locate bulls. Once I have identified a good one, I plan a stalk and get close enough to begin calling. You can see in these images how the team was all glassing. We knew there was a bull out there, but the terrain provided a lot of cover and it wasn't easy to locate him. Once we located him and his cows, we took our bearings and crossed the lake to stalk. Within a short time, we had our bull down. #BBD (big bull down).

Hour-to-Hour Elk Hunting Tactics. Elk hunting differs from a traditional whitetail hunt in many ways. Elevation, rugged terrain and extraction adversities separate the two, just to name a handful of complicating distinctions. Another difference is the fact elk keep a schedule that offers hunting opportunities throughout the day, whereas whitetails may shut down. Focus on meeting locations that vary by the hour to engage your leggy quarry instead of napping under an old pine tree. 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. If I had to rate one period as the Holy Grail, it would be dawn through midmorning. Elk seem to be anxious, agitated and goal-oriented. That equals noise, and noisy elk are easy to track. The "anxious" issue arises from elk being exposed at sunrise to potential hunting pressure. They are anxious to move to private digs most hunters will be pressed to reach. Herd bulls are anxious to keep the harem together while moving through a barrage of tag-along satellite bulls.

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.

By Aaron Webber The three muskox bulls were getting anxious and it appeared that they were about to run again. I had chased this particular bull several times from a larger herd, but after several failed attempts to get a clear shot, it had finally broken off from the herd with two other, smaller bulls. I jumped off my snowmachine and got ready with my 7 mm Mag. The largest bull had moved away from the other two and presented a broadside shot. I instinctively stood, aimed, and fired at the bull. The bull took off running. I reloaded and followed up with a second shot which knocked the bull to the ground. I had finally bagged my bull! I started shaking severely. Whether it was delayed buck fever, or the fact that it was freezing cold, or perhaps a combination of both, I don’t know. I calmed myself enough to climb back on my snowmachine and drove over to the downed bull. The rest of the group arrived just before I did. My dad met me at my machine and gave me a big hug.

With its mixture of dry woodland, open grasslands, and montane forest patches, the region remains one of South Sudan’s most ecologically varied areas—ideal for a range of hunting experiences. Hunter Demographics and Regional Involvement The local populations, primarily Toposa, Didinga, and Lotuko ethnic groups, maintain long-standing traditions of hunting as a cultural and economic practice. Most hunting is subsistence-based, but some groups also engage in community-based wildlife use, including trade in game meat. While formal international hunting opera

How to Track a Buck in the Snow Have You Ever Slipped Up on a Deer in the Snow? No doubt about it, the vast majority of whitetail hunting today is done from some type of elevated platform – treestand, tripod or shooting house. That wasn’t always the case. To this day, many northwoods hunters still practice the age-old art of tracking in the snow. So can you, and here are a few tips to help you along the trail. To follow a track you first need to find one, and the more ground you cover the better the odds. Typically, the big woods hunters will drive the backwoods roads before daylight. These are often dirt logging roads, some accessible only by 4WD vehicle, which is what you want. Less Traffic, More Deer You’ll usually find an inverse correlation – the less vehicle traffic, the more deer traffic. If you really want to get away from the crowd, and back where the big bucks roam, unload your ATV and ride the least-accessible roads and trails into the more remote areas. Reading Tracks Once

Hunting in Ibanda: Uganda's Best-Kept Secret for hunters, Geography, Game Diversity, and Ethical Safari Traditions Demographics: Hunters in Ibanda Exact hunter numbers are not publicly available, but the region attracts both local subsistence hunters and international sportsmen. Foreign hunters typically book through licensed safari operators, while locals engage in small-scale hunting for food and pest control. The Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) monitors hunting activities to ensure sustainability. The morning sun burns away the mist clinging to Ibanda's rolling hills, revealing a landscape that seems plucked from an old hunter's dream. Here, where the savanna folds into forested valleys, a duiker's alarm call echoes like a starting pistol - nature's way of announcing the day's hunt has begun. Unlike Uganda's better-known reserves, Ibanda offers something increasingly rare: untouched wilderness where the only tracks you'll follow are those left by wildlife, not tourist vehicles.

Ségou’s Sacred Hunt: Laws, Clubs and Communities. Exploring Mali’s Communal Hunting Traditions Along the Niger River The Ségou Region, located in southern Mali along the Niger River, is a unique destination for hunters, particularly those interested in communal hunting traditions. This article provides essential information for hunters looking to explore this culturally rich and ecologically diverse region.

Guns and Gear for an Alaska Caribou Hunt Editor's Note: Contributor Brad Fitzpatrick put the following gear to use on a recent Alaska caribou hunt. You can catch up on that story here. Savage 110 Ultralite Savage’s new 110 Ultralite weighs just 6 pounds thanks to its polymer stock and carbon fiber barrel. Chambered in .280 Ackley Improved, the rifle is reliable and accurate and suitable for just about any North American game. Its stock allows for comb height and length-of-pull adjustments, and the adjustable Savage AccuTrigger came set at a crisp 2.5 pounds. MSRP: $1,595; savagearms.com. Hornady GMX Handloads I used handloads topped with Hornady’s 150-grain GMX. The GMX is a monolithic bullet and is versatile for big game, particularly at extended ranges because it performs reliably at relatively low velocities. The GMX has also proven to be very accurate out of several rifles I’ve tested, including the Savage. (The GMX bullet has now been replaced by Hornady’s new CX bullet). Leup

3 Tactics for Hunting Monster Black Bears Which of the Three Is Your Favorite Method? Like skinning cats, there's more than one way to hunt for bears. For those that tell you bear hunting is just too easy and unchallenging, they've probably never hunted the majestic black and colored bruisers. The basic descriptions of the various types or styles of bear hunting are covered here in this article. My professional bear hunting career began with hound hunting, so let‘s look at that method first. Hunting with Hounds Hound hunting requires the use of a highly trained pack of hounds that have the ability to smell the ground, air and brush in order to track a bear wherever he might go. Once a track is found, the guide, who is usually an expert at reading hound behavior, will let one dog out to test the track. He will know by the dog‘s reactions if the track is good, and if it is, he will let one or two more dogs loose to assist in the tracking. Some guides will let all the dogs go which could

How often do hunting accidents happen in France? Two people were injured by stray bullets from hunters last week, as head of hunting federation says ‘zero risk’ hunting is not possible. Since 2000, there have been 3,325 hunting accidents in France, of which 421 were fatal, figures from l'Office français de la biodiversité and la Fédération nationale de la chasse show. This is equivalent to 158 accidents per year, with 20 deaths. Since 2000, the number of accidents has gone down 40% and the number of deaths 70%, figures from L’Office français de la biodiversité show. In nine out of 10 of cases, it is hunters themselves who were the victims of accidents, and in 30% of cases, accidents were self-inflicted. Most accidents occurred during big game hunts, such as for wild boar. These figures do not include incidents that have caused injury or death to domestic animals, or instances where bullets have entered homes or cars. There are currently strict rules for hunters, which aim to re
