Today, 14 February, in Orthodox calendar is the day of the Holy Tryphon, especially revered in Russia. The holy martyr is highly revered by Russian hunters, being their patron saint. He was depicted on icons with a falcon on his arm, and originally he was on the coat of arms of Moscow. There is a legend that under Tsar John the Terrible, during the royal hunt, the king's beloved gyrfalcon flew away. The tsar ordered the falconer Trifon Patrikeev to find the bird that had flown away. Falconer Trifon toured the surrounding forests, but without success. On the third day, tired of a long search, he stopped near Moscow, in a place now called Maryina Grove, and in exhaustion lay down to rest, having fervently prayed to his patron saint, the martyr Tryphon, asking him for help. In a dream, he saw a young man on a white horse holding a royal gyrfalcon, and this young man said: "Take the missing bird, go with God to the king and don't worry about anything." Upon waking up, the falconer actually saw a gyrfalcon nearby on a pine tree. He immediately took him to the tsar and told him about the wonderful help he had received from the holy martyr Tryphon. After a while, on the place where the saint appeared, the falconer Trifon Patrikeev built a chapel, and then a church in the name of the holy martyr Trifon.

Nikon Prostaff 5 10x42 Binoculars Review I recently purchased the Nikon Prostaff 5 10x42 binoculars and have spent some time using them in various outdoor settings, from birdwatching to hiking. Here’s my honest evaluation of this product, highlighting both the pros and cons for potential buyers. Pros: Optical Clarity: One of the standout features of the Prostaff 5 is its exceptional image quality. The lenses are multi-coated, which significantly enhances light transmission and reduces glare. I was genuinely impressed by the brightness and clarity of the images, especially in low-light conditions during dawn and dusk. Lightweight and Ergonomic Design: Weighing in at just over 22 ounces, these binoculars are relatively lightweight, making them easy to carry for extended periods. The design fits comfortably in the hand, and the textured grip ensures they don’t slip, even if I’m out for hours. Durability: The Prostaff 5 is built to withstand rough conditions. It’s waterproof and fog-proof, which is a massive plus for outdoor enthusiasts like myself. I’ve used them in various weather conditions without any issues related to moisture or fogging. Wide Field of View: I appreciate the wide field of view, which allows me to scan a larger area quickly. This feature is particularly useful when watching fast-moving subjects like birds in flight or wildlife in their natural habitats. Value for Money: Considering the quality, these binoculars are reasonably priced compared to other brands offering similar features. This makes them a great option for both beginners and those looking for a reliable pair without breaking the bank. Cons: Limited Eye Relief: While the eye relief is decent at 15mm, it may not be sufficient for eyeglass wearers. I had to make a few adjustments to get the full field of view, which might not be as convenient for users who wear glasses. Adjustment Mechanism: The focus knob is a bit stiff compared to other models I’ve used. Although it's still functional, I sometimes find myself straining a bit to make quick adjustments, which can be distracting when trying to focus on fast-moving subjects. Lack of a Tripod Adapter: For prolonged viewing sessions, especially during birdwatching or astronomy, a tripod can be extremely helpful. Unfortunately, the Prostaff 5 lacks a tripod adapter, which may limit its usability for some users who prefer stable observations over extended periods. Heavy Aperture: While the 42mm aperture provides great brightness, it can make the binoculars feel a little bulkier compared to smaller models. If you’re looking for something ultra-portable for casual outings, these might not be the best choice. Conclusion: Overall, the Nikon Prostaff 5 10x42 binoculars offer a great balance of performance and affordability. They are ideal for anyone who appreciates quality optics and is willing to overlook a few minor shortcomings. #NikonProstaff5 #Binoculars #OutdoorGear #Birdwatching #Hiking #OpticalClarity #Durabil

Ястреб-тетеревятник наиболее распространенная охотничья птица. Несмотря на внешнее сходство, ястребы очень сильно отличаются от соколов строением и повадками. Охота тоже происходит совершенно по-разному. Весь процесс обучения тетеревятника длится один-полтора месяца. Самка, как и у всех хищных птиц, бывает сильнее и крупнее самца, поэтому охотники предпочитают обучать самок. В наших условиях с ястребом-тетеревятником охотятся на зайца, фазана, куропаток, уток. Охотятся в утренние и вечерние часы дня. В жаркое время птицу не напускают, это объясняется тем, что во время жары она часто не обращает внимания на выскочившего зайца и иногда может даже улететь в заросли. Подобно перепелятнику, он почти никогда не бывает сыт. Он преследует всех птиц, от маленьких вьюрков до дроф и глухарей, бросается на зайца, подымает с земли ласку и уносит из гнезда белку. Особенно опасен он для голубей, и одна пара тетеревятников может опустошить целую голубятню. Если представляется возможным, он не довольствуется одной жертвой, а сначала убивает столько птиц, сколько ему удается поймать, и затем только принимается за еду. Но и многие животные дают ему отпор: вороны храбро бросаются на него и долго преследуют, рискуя попасть в его когти; это случается часто тогда, когда тетеревятник улетает с добычей в лапах или собирается съесть ее на земле. Кроме ворон, мелкие благородные соколы нападают на ненавистного для них хищника, а ласточки беспрестанно забавляются тем, что сопровождают его с громким, предостерегающим криком.

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 terrain to Germany makes it suitable. Scandinavia: Increasingly popular for moose and deer tracking. France: Used in areas with driven hunts and a need for reliable follow-up. Increasingly, North America: A small but growing number of hunters are importing Hanoverians for their superior tracking abilities, especially for whitetail and elk. Characteristics and Care: A No-Frills Breed Temperament: Hanoverians are intensely focused and driven when working. At home, they are calm, loyal, and devoted to their families. However, they need a job to do and are not suited to a purely sedentary lifestyle. They can be aloof with strangers. Physical Needs: These are powerful, medium-sized dogs (50-60 cm, 30-40 kg) built for endurance. They need daily exercise, ideally involving tracking work or long walks. Grooming: Short, dense coat requires minimal grooming. Check ears regularly for infections. Health: Generally healthy, but potential issues include hip and elbow dysplasia, and bloat. Choose breeders who screen for these conditions. Important note: They are not kennel dogs. They bond strongly with their handler and need to live as part of the family to thrive. Training for the Track: Building a Tracking Machine Early Start: Introduce scent work as early as possible (8-10 weeks). Start with simple blood trails in your yard. Blood is Key: Use real deer or boar blood (available from butcher shops or harvested game). Dilute it significantly at first. Gradual Progression: Increase the length and complexity of the trails. Add changes in terrain, obstacles, and age the trails to make them more challenging. Positive Reinforcement: Reward success with high-value treats and praise. Avoid punishment. Introduce the Harness: Get the dog comfortable wearing a tracking harness from a young age. Voice Commands: Teach clear commands for "track," "find," "stay," and "speak" (to indicate the location of the wounded game). Essential Training Exercises: Dragging a Scent Rag: Start by dragging a blood-soaked rag a short distance, letting the dog watch. Then, hide the rag and command the dog to find it. Gradually increase the distance and complexity. Simulated Wounded Game Trails: Create realistic scenarios with blood droplets, hair, and hoof prints. Include changes in direction and "beds" where the animal rested. Ageing Trails: Let trails sit for increasing periods (1 hour, 6 hours, 12 hours, etc.) to challenge the dog's scenting ability. Live Game Introduction (Controlled): If possible, work with experienced trackers to introduce your dog to real wounded game in a controlled environment. This is crucial for developing the dog's focus and drive. On the Hunt: Hanoverian Scenthound Tactics Leash Work: Hanoverians work on a long leash (5-10 meters) to allow them to follow the trail without interference. Nose to the Ground: They are methodical trackers, keeping their nose close to the ground to maintain the scent. Vocalization: A good Hanoverian will "speak" (bark) when they find the wounded animal, alerting the hunter to its location. Tenacity: They will stay on the trail, even through difficult terrain or in adverse weather conditions. Important: Trust your dog. If they indicate a track, follow it, even if you don't see obvious signs. Hanoverian Scenthounds are not for everyone. They require a dedicated owner who understands their specific needs and is willing to invest the time and effort to train them properly. But for the hunter who demands the best in blood tracking, the Hanoverian Scenthound is an invaluable asset. They transform what could be a lost animal into a successful recovery. #huntingdog

The Grizzly Bear Chair is a gift from hunter Seth Kinman to President Andrew Johnson. 1865, USA Seth Kinman (September 29, 1815 – February 24, 1888) was an early settler of Humboldt County, California, a hunter based in Fort Humboldt, a famous chair maker, and a nationally recognized entertainer. He stood over 6 ft (1.83 m) tall and was known for his hunting prowess and his brutality toward bears and Indian warriors. Kinman claimed to have shot a total of over 800 grizzly bears, and, in a single month, over 50 elk. He was also a hotel keeper, saloon keeper, and a musician who performed for President Lincoln on a fiddle made from the skull of a mule. The Grizzly Bear Chair is a unique chair presented to Andrew Johnson, the 17th President of the United States, in 1865. It was made of bear skin and decorated in a style popular at the time. The chair became a symbol of Johnson's personal preferences and reflected his connection with nature and the frontier spirit. The armchair not only served as a piece of furniture, but also embodied the desire for simplicity and accessibility, which was important for Johnson, who came to power after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and had to make every effort to rebuild the country after the Civil War. Kinman made his name first as a hunter, especially as a hunter of grizzly bears. California was noted for its large population of grizzlies. Seth's son Carlin claimed that they once saw 40 grizzlies at one time. The Grizzly Bear Chair A gift from hunter Seth Kinman to President Andrew Johnson, was are one of favorite presidential gifts. Known for his publicity seeking, Kinman appeared as a stereotypical mountain man dressed in buckskins on the U.S. East Coast and selling cartes de visites of himself and his famous chairs. The chairs were made from elkhorns and grizzly bear skins and given to U.S. Presidents. Presidents so honored include James Buchanan, Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson, and Rutherford Hayes. He may have had a special relationship with President Lincoln, appearing in at least two of Lincoln's funeral corteges, and claiming to have witnessed Lincoln's assassination.

Pard Digital Scope Review I recently purchased the Pard digital scope, and I've had the opportunity to test it in various conditions. Here’s my honest assessment of its performance, features, and overall usability. Pros: Day and Night Functionality: One of the standout features of the Pard scope is its ability to operate both during the day and at night. The image quality remains sharp and clear in both scenarios, which is a significant advantage for versatility in different hunting or shooting situations. IR Illuminator: The built-in infrared (IR) illuminator is a game-changer for nighttime use. It enhances visibility in complete darkness, making it easier to spot targets at a distance. The adjustable brightness levels are particularly helpful for adapting to various environments. Laser Rangefinder: The integrated rangefinder is a remarkable addition. It provides accurate distance measurements to targets, which is crucial for making precise shots, especially over long distances. This feature alone adds a lot of value for serious shooters. User-Friendly Interface: The scope’s interface is intuitive and easy to navigate. Setting up the reticle, adjusting brightness, and toggling between day and night modes is straightforward, which is great for users of all experience levels. Durability and Build Quality: The Pard scope feels well-constructed and robust. It is designed to withstand the elements, and I've had no issues with it in harsh weather conditions, which is a plus for outdoor enthusiasts. Cons: Weight: One of the downsides of the Pard digital scope is its weight. Compared to traditional scopes, it is relatively heavier, which could be a consideration for those who prioritize lightweight equipment for long treks. Battery Life: While the scope has many impressive features, I found that the battery life could be better. Extended use, especially with the IR illuminator on high settings, drains the battery fairly quickly. Carrying spare batteries is advisable for longer sessions. Price Point: The Pard scope is priced on the higher side compared to some standard optical scopes. While it offers advanced technology and features, budget-conscious buyers might find it to be a significant investment. Learning Curve: Although the interface is user-friendly, the range of features may be overwhelming for beginners. It took me some time to fully understand and utilize all the functionalities effectively. Image Quality in Extreme Low Light: While the image is clear in most low-light situations, I found that in extremely dim conditions, some distortion occurs. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it's something to be aware of if you're primarily using it for night hunting. Conclusion Overall, the Pard digital scope offers a lot of value for those looking for advanced capabilities in both day and night settings. The combination of a built-in IR illuminator and laser rangefinder is excellent for enhancing accuracy and usability.

Охота на лося в Норвегии Норвегия, в сравнении с другими странами Скандинавии, не очень богата лесами, они занимают всего лишь 24% ее общей территории. И все же, несмотря на это, в стране много животных для охоты, как немало и любителей этого увлекательного занятия. Количество охотников в Норвегии на сегодняшний день превысило 90 тысяч человек. Особого внимания заслуживает охота на лося в Норвегии. Сезон охоты на лося Сезон охоты на лося в Норвегии ежегодно начинается 27 сентября, а завершается 10 октября, это период гона, когда рога лося достигают максимального размера и красоты, а также не имеют никаких дефектов. Места гона из года в год остаются неизменными. В этот период самцы имеют особенность издавать характерный рев, по которому их вычисляют и находят. Чаще всего лоси ревут поздним вечером либо ранним утром, днем лосиный рев можно услышать крайне редко. Лосей в Норвегии насчитывается порядка 35 тысяч голов, и популяция неизменно продолжает расти. Для сохранения поголовья самых крупных самцов и с целью улучшения репродукции, норвежцы пропагандируют отстрел лишь молодых лосей и самок. Для отстрела животного охотник должен приобрести разрешение в Министерстве лесного хозяйства страны. Отстрел лосей в настоящее время составляет более семи тысяч особей в год. Особенности охоты на лося Норвегия – страна со своеобразным ландшафтом и сложным рельефом, поэтому охотятся на лося здесь только с собаками. Такие особенности требуют от охотников немало усилий, редкой сноровки и определенных знаний. Лоси передвигаются в основном в одиночку и обладают отличным слухом и прекрасным нюхом, поэтому подходить к ним необходимо с подветренной стороны и очень аккуратно. Также это очень опасный зверь, приближаться к нему нужно очень быстро и осторожно. Существует два способа охоты на лося: первый — лайку посылают на поиск зверя, при этом она должна не только обнаружить лося, но и задержать его до прихода охотника; второй – собака, находясь на поводке, ведет охотника к зверю по следу. Других методов охоты на лося в Норвегии не практикуется. Преимущества породы лайка В Норвегии разводят некрупных, умных и способных лаек с сильным охотничьим инстинктом. Эти собаки отлично поддаются дрессировке и помимо охоты на лося с ними можно ходить на хищников — на кабана и даже на медведя. Опытная и натасканная лайка всегда идет по следу лося, не подавая голоса, и не подходит к нему слишком близко. Только после обнаружения зверя собака подаст голос и будет стараться привлечь его внимание на себя. Несмотря на свой внушительный вес, лось может испугаться шума приближения охотника и мигом убежать, поэтому зверю нужно дать немного времени привыкнуть к лайке. Если лось станет убегать, собака станет следовать за ним и пытаться удержать его на некоторое время. Охотник должен быть готов к тому, что лось может пробегать до десяти километров.

В Бадхызе на видео попал переднеазиатский леопард На видео летом прошлого года в Бадхызе попал переднеазиатский леопард. За последние несколько лет при международной поддержке в заповедниках Туркменистана были установлены фотоловушки, которые за это время не раз фиксировали редких, а порой очень редких животных. Помимо леопарда, который был зафиксирован множество раз в различных регионах – Копетдаге, Большом Балхане, Бадхызе в объектив попали и другие кошачьи региона – манул и рысь. Последняя считается крайне редким, вымирающим видом. За последние десятилетия (до начала использования фотоловушек) отмечено всего 9 достоверных встреч с рысью Ряд признаков говорит о том, что леопард в Туркменистане чувствует себя все более лучше. Это и расширение географии ареала и множество встреч. Согласно учёту в конце 90-ых годов численность этого самого крупного хищника Туркменистана составляла порядка 90 особей, а в 90-ые годы понижалась до 75. Леопард более лучше адаптировался и продолжает адаптироваться к меняющимся условиям среды обитания из-за деятельности человека. Предпочитая скрытный образ жизни, популяция леопарда по всей видимости нашла золотую середину в соседстве с человеком. Также леопард стал более гибким в добычи пропитания, расширив рацион, в отличии от других крупных хищников – туранского тигра и гепарда, которые в итоге вымерли на территории страны. В последние несколько лет леопарда довольно часто фиксируют в Устюрте, на территории Казахстана, где он ранее не обитал, что указывает на расширение ареала и миграции животного. Леопард занесён в Красную книгу Туркменистана и МСОП. В Туркменистане жители очень часто путают леопарда и барса. В Туркменистане обитают леопарды, а барсы нет, хотя с очень малой долей вероятности возможны заходы снежного барса в Кугитанг с территории Узбекистана, но это редчайшие случаи, и за последние десятилетия достоверных данных о подобных заходах нет.

Review of the Carl Zeiss 8x42 HD Conquest Binoculars I recently had the opportunity to use the Carl Zeiss 8x42 HD Conquest binoculars, and I must say, they are impressive in many ways. Here’s my honest assessment based on my experience. Optical Quality: The optics on these binoculars are exceptional. The 8x magnification combined with a 42mm objective lens offers a bright, clear image even in low-light conditions. The HD glass provides excellent color fidelity and contrast, which is particularly noticeable when observing wildlife or landscapes. I was amazed by the sharpness of the images at various distances, and there was minimal distortion at the edges of the field of view. Build and Design: The build quality is solid, with a robust and durable construction that feels premium in hand. The rubber armor provides a good grip and adds a layer of protection against bumps and drops. Weighing in at a reasonably manageable 24 ounces, they are comfortable to hold for extended periods, though they are not the lightest option available in this category. Ease of Use: Focusing is smooth and precise, thanks to the central focusing wheel. I found it easy to adjust to my vision, which is a significant advantage for birdwatchers like myself. The 42mm objective lenses offer a generous field of view, making it easier to track moving subjects. Light Transmission and Coatings: The multi-coated lenses significantly enhance light transmission, and I noticed minimal glare when using them in bright sunlight. This feature is crucial for daytime observations, as it helps maintain image quality. Weather Resistance: Another highlight is their water and fog resistance. I had the chance to use them in varying weather conditions, and they performed reliably without any issues. This makes them a great choice for outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable optics in different environments. Price Point: While they are on the pricier side compared to some competitors, I believe the quality of the optics and the overall performance justify the investment. For serious birdwatchers, hunters, or nature enthusiasts, these binoculars are worth considering. Conclusion: Overall, the Carl Zeiss 8x42 HD Conquest binoculars deliver an outstanding viewing experience with their superior optical quality, durable construction, and user-friendly design. If you’re looking for high-performance binoculars that will last for years, I highly recommend giving these a try. They have certainly earned a permanent place in my outdoor gear. #CarlZeiss #8x42HDConquest #BinocularsReview #OpticalQuality #HighDefinition #Birdwatching #WildlifeObservation #BuildQuality #DurableDesign #FocusPrecision #LightTransmission #MultiCoatedLenses #WaterResistant #FogResistant #OutdoorGear #NatureEnthusiasts #UserFriendly #FieldOfView #Performance #PricePoint #Investment #ViewingExperience #ReliableOptics #Magnification #LandscapeObservation #SeriousOutdoorGear

🇦🇲 Հայաստանի գեղատեսիլ լեռնային վայրերում որսորդական շան հետ որսը անմոռանալի Մի բան է ։ Ես առանձնահատուկ կապվածություն ունեմ այս հողի, իմ հայրենիքի հետ, որտեղ իմ նախնիներն ապրել և որս են արել: Ես հիշում եմ իմ մանկությունը, երբ հայրիկիս հետ գնում էի որսորդական հետաքրքրաշարժ արշավների մեր հուսալի որսորդական շան հետ: Հայաստանում որսը մեզ նաև յուրահատուկ տեսարաններ ու բնապատկերներ է պարգևել։ Ձյունով ծածկված լեռնագագաթները և աշնանային Ոսկեգույն անտառները տպավորիչ մթնոլորտ էին ստեղծում։ Որսի ժամանակ բնության գեղեցկությունը վայելելու և դրա հետ միասնությունը պարզապես աննկարագրելի էր։

Bear Gun Shootout: The Drill To get a better handle on this debate I enlisted the help of two fellow pistoleros: Sean Murphy, a USPSA Grand Master, and Outdoor Life staff writer Tyler Freel, who by virtue of living in Alaska hunts bears every year. We conducted a live-fire experiment at Gunsite Academy in the form of a simple, but challenging drill. The three of us shot an array of five knockdown steel poppers from far to near to simulate a bear charge. The farthest target was in the center and then we zig-zagged from far left to far right and then to near left and near right to add in erratic motion and increase the stress level. The farthest target was approximately 20 yards away and the closest were about 12 yards downrange. Watch the video above to see the drill for yourself.

Duck Hunting in Morocco: A Comprehensive Guide Duck hunting is a thrilling adventure that attracts both seasoned hunters and newcomers alike. In Morocco, this pursuit combines breathtaking landscapes, rich biodiversity, and unique cultural experiences. Whether you are an avid waterfowl hunter or seeking a new adventure, Morocco features various hunting grounds catering to all levels of experience. In this guide, we will explore the nuances of duck hunting in Morocco, covering the best locations, techniques, seasons, and regulations, along with tips to make your hunting experience memorable and successful. The Hunting Landscape of Morocco Morocco is renowned for its diverse ecosystems, which range from coastal wetlands to mountainous regions. This diversity creates a favorable environment for various duck species, making it an exceptional location for hunting enthusiasts. The country is home to an extensive network of rivers, lakes, and marshes teeming with wildlife, offering a rich habitat for migratory waterfowl. The primary species of ducks found in Morocco include the Mallard, Pintail, Teal, and Shoveler. These ducks migrate between Europe and Africa during different seasons, and Morocco serves as a vital stopover. This migration pattern means hunters can enjoy lucrative seasons when the ducks are plentiful, typically from late autumn to early spring. Prime Locations for Duck Hunting in Morocco Selecting the right location is essential for a successful duck hunting trip. Morocco boasts numerous prime hunting areas. Here, we’ll delve into some of the best locations for hunting ducks in this beautiful country. The Souss-Massa National Park Located along the Atlantic coast, the Souss-Massa National Park is one of Morocco's most prominent ecosystems. The park encompasses expansive wetlands that attract various bird species, including numerous ducks. With its rich biodiversity, this area offers hunters stunning scenery and vibrant wildlife. The rivers and coastal lagoons in the park provide ample opportunities for both hunting and photography. Renowned for its variety, the park allows hunters to target different duck species, making it an ideal spot for both singular and mixed-bag hunts. Moreover, the unique landscape formed by shifting dunes and marshes adds to the overall experience. Hunters should note that regulations apply within the park, requiring special permits and adherence to specific guidelines to preserve the environment. The Merja Zerga Lagoon Merja Zerga Lagoon is another top-tier location for duck hunting in Morocco. This vast wetland is situated near the town of Kenitra and is recognized for hosting various migratory birds during the winter months. The lagoon's extensive area is cut up into shallow bays and dense reed beds, providing perfect habitats for ducks. During the peak hunting season, Merja Zerga attracts thousands of waterfowl, creating excellent hunting opportunities. #DuckHunting #Morocco #HuntingGuide #Waterfow

Охота и природное равновесие Мало кто знает, но #охота играет важную роль в поддержании природного баланса. В некоторых регионах России благодаря контролируемой охоте удается сдерживать популяцию определенных видов животных, предотвращая их чрезмерное размножение, которое может привести к нехватке пищи и другим экологическим проблемам. Например, в некоторых частях Сибири контролируемая #охота_на_кабана помогает поддерживать равновесие в экосистеме, предотвращая разрушение лесных угодий. Однако важно помнить, что такая охота строго регулируется, и каждое разрешение тщательно проверяется на соответствие экологическим стандартам. Именно ответственный подход к охоте помогает сохранить природное богатство для будущих поколений. В 2023 году был зафиксирован рост популяции #лося в центральных регионах России на 10%, что связано с восстановлением естественных угодий и снижением браконьерства благодаря новым технологиям мониторинга. Современные системы слежения и дронов значительно облегчают контроль за соблюдением законов.

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.

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. Bullet Mold What Kills Game? To effectively and cleanly kill a big-game animal, a bullet needs to expand reliably and penetrate deeply no matter what it encounters en route. That’s the crux of bullet performance. If a bullet fragments to bits upon impact, or stops upon encountering bone, it likely won’t penetrate deeply enough to accomplish a clean kill. Or if it fails to expand, it may simply pencil through, doing minimal damage along the way and failing to accomplish a clean kill. Here’s a short anatomy-of-a-kill lesson for you: There are three ways a bullet will cause rapid and mostly painless death: 1: Collapse the lungs, causing a dearth of oxygen to the brain. 2: Cause massive damage to the circulatory system including the heart, arteries, and veins, leading to catastrophic loss of blood and blood pressure. 3: Disrupt or destroy the central nervous system, which consists of the brain and spinal column.* Of the three, number one—the lungs—offers the biggest target, results in the fastest death, and usually comes with the side benefit of accomplishing number 2 en-route. When a bullet passes through the lungs they collapse almost instantly. Arteries and veins, and sometimes the heart, are destroyed as well. Within seconds the brain is starved of oxygen and blood pressure plummets. The animal literally blacks out and tips over, unconscious even before it is dead. This is the ideal, painless-as-possible death that we as ethical hunters should strive for every time we take a shot.
