Delivered weekly, the publication keeps hunting enthusiasts informed of topics that impact the sporting industry. http://www.multibriefs.com/briefs/dsc/dscupdate.xml en August can be truly hot in Texas. Most deer hunters remain ensconced in an air-conditioned environment, making those hot, sultry days of August some of the longest on the sportsmen's annual calendar. But this does not have to be the case as there are a variety of outdoor activities that can be conducted at this time. 6 Jul 2010 09:01:02 CDT http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=4c2e0527ca7a9 1 Called the MicroSight, this is a brilliant idea for shooters who want to keep using iron sights but are limited by deteriorating vision. While it looks like this concept would work great in competitive shooting (assuming the rules allow for it) and in an arid environment when hunting or in combat, but how well it would function in the snow and rain. Would snow, rain or fog haze up the image to the point where you couldn't see the target? 6 Jul 2010 09:01:02 CDT http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=4c2e04f5d661d 2 When it comes to deer and deer hunting, many of us like to draw that proverbial line in the sand. It's that line you just won't cross, no matter what the potential benefits might be. For some hunters, it's a tactic. For some managers, it's a specific practice. As the years tick by, it seems that most of us whitetail fanatics have reached a tipping point. 6 Jul 2010 09:01:02 CDT http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=4c2e04bc4ec8a 3 The Boma–Jonglei area of the Southern Sudan in Africa which includes the Boma National Park and Badingilo National Park and forms one of the largest, if not the largest, savannah ecosystems across East Africa, has been targeted by the Wildlife Conservation Society for a holistic approach in protection of the area. This is in conjunction with their partners USAID and the government of Southern Sudan. 6 Jul 2010 09:01:02 CDT http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=4c2e03ef943ff 4 Summer is a great time of year. The weather is warm, the birds are singing, bucks are growing antlers, carp are spawning and the fish are biting. If you have kids, now is the time to take them on an outdoor adventure. Many kids today aren't interested in the outdoors because they would rather play video games and listen to tunes on an iPod. To get kids involved in the outdoors, you must introduce them to fast-paced outdoor sports that are fun and action-packed. Below are a few things you can do with your kids outside this summer that they will likely enjoy. 6 Jul 2010 09:01:02 CDT http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=4c2e0568405b6 5 You will need a fairly well matched set of deer antlers. Medium to large sized antlers, with three or four points on each side (not counting the brow tines), seem to work best. Remove the brow tines and smooth off any sharp points and edges. About two weeks before you plan to use your natural rattling antlers, place them in a bucket of water and let them soak until you use them. This will replenish their natural moisture and they will sound more realistic. If you don't have access to natural antlers, you can purchase artificial rattling antlers at most deer hunting supply outlets. To avoid self-inflicted hand damage always wear gloves while rattling antlers. Before your go into the field, spray your antlers with a scent neutralizer. 6 Jul 2010 09:01:02 CDT http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=4c2e047c707f4 6 Rangers in South Africa are hunting a pride of lions which are feared to have escaped from the country's Kruger National Park. Officials warned the public to be on their guard after four of the animals were spotted roaming freely around villages in South Africa's Limpopo province. 6 Jul 2010 09:01:02 CDT http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=4c2e03ac72d79 7 How about a lifetime of free hunting and fishing in Texas? That is what was up for grabs on from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department was offering outdoors enthusiasts in Texas another chance to enter the Lifetime License Drawing for a chance to win a lifetime Super Combo hunting and fishing license. 6 Jul 2010 09:01:02 CDT http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=4c2e037ec990c 8 You know he's out there. You have seen the signs that he has left behind: large tracks, rubs on trees the size of your leg, scrapes the size of a bath tub. Yet he has repeatedly managed to give you the slip despite spending hours on stand. Frustration is setting in and you need an advantage. In the past, you might have resorted to placing string across a trail as a way of monitoring that area. Or you might have even gone high tech and bought a string trail timer where the string you've stretched is connected to a clock. The trouble with these now primitive methods is that you are limited to only one event per setting and you really had no idea what kind of animal actually passed through, much less if it was a buck or doe. 6 Jul 2010 09:01:02 CDT http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=4c2e042e2580f 9
