Zimbabwe Hunting Season Remains Open AfricaHunting.com Share
Information has been received from official sources which disputes the rumor that Zimbabwe had closed hunting for the 2009 and 2010 seasons. The Zimbabwean government has said that hunting for the remainder of the 2009 and for 2010 will continue while Zimbabwe engages in enhanced measures to curb poaching. Zimbabwe's government, responding to allegations that some 2009 hunting permits were being forged, is now taking extra precautions to confirm that all government issued hunting permits are in fact legitimate. Moving forward into next year, the government will create new government permits that have better forgery security. More Holiday Gift Ideas for the Texas Outdoorsman Lone Star Outdoor News Share

The Last Great Land the Denton Record-Chronicle Share
Wildlife scientists at the Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute in Kingsville call South Texas the last great place for American wildlife.

Muzzleloaders: The Not So Smokey Smokepole Petersen's Hunting Share
The Savage 10ML II is a refinement of a previous rifle. The new gun is, like many other Savage rifles these days, state of the art and well made. Instead of pouring a healthy dose of Triple Seven down the spout, this rifle uses smokeless powder -- the same kind of propellant you will find in self-contained metallic cartridges. But what is so great about using smokeless powders in a muzzleloading rifle? More
Cache Money ESPN Outdoors Share
In 1970, the Cache River, which provides a large portion of winter habitat for mallards that migrate down the Mississippi Flyway, was slated for a landmark project that would have straightened the river and destroyed the way duck hunting is enjoyed in Arkansas today. More importantly, it would have drained critical wintering habitat that mallards need to complete their migration. The river bends are rest stops, but the woods around them full of a mixture of pin oaks and native grasses provide sustenance for their trek. Invertebrates are abundant and necessary for hens to be able to be build strong eggs to sustain a hatch once they return to the Prairie Pothole Region. It's a perfect relationship between wetlands thousands of miles apart, one that almost lost half its equation. More
Who Needs a 12-Gauge? Petersen's Hunting Share
The author of the linked article does not buy in to needing a 12 gauge shotgun for many applications. For most upland wingshooting, he says, you don't need to throw a handful of shot into the air with each tug on the trigger. He continues that for birds up to the size of grouse, 7/8-ounce of shot is plenty and anyone who cannot get the job done with an ounce of shot has himself, and not the shotshell he is shooting, to blame -- and the only time that use a heavier shot charge is necessary in the 20 is when hunting pheasant.
