San Bushmen "twisting up" a fire. One works his hands down the drill, then another starts at the top to keep it going. Fire in about a minute. Bows and wood (from the quiver tree) quivers capped with hide. Arrows are really more like darts. Tipped with poison. _MG_8710.JPG

"Cruel, heartless, ignorant hunters." The next time to hear or read this from some deep thinking anti-hunters, tell them about this gentleman: Dr. Red Duke, 86, Past President of Boone and Crockett Club MISSOULA, Mont. - Dr. James H. "Red" Duke Jr., physician, television personality, conservationist, hunter and past president of Boone and Crockett Club, died Tuesday, August 25. He was 86. Duke, of Houston, Texas, served as President of Boone and Crockett Club from 1986-87, one of the many contributions made in a lifetime he said was devoted to "caring for people and critters." He also founded the Texas Bighorn Society, which lead to successful desert sheep restoration in Texas, and served as president of the Foundation for North American Wild Sheep (now the Wild Sheep Foundation) in 1986. As a hunter, Duke s fondness for mountain sheep and remote alpine highlands helped to inspire what is now his conservation legacy.For his vast contributions to conservation and accomplishments as

Some background for perspective: Villagers organized to form a conservancy in this area. It s objective is to place value on local wildlife to offset agricultural damages and expenses incurred when hippos, crocs, etc. raid crops, eat cattle, stomp on children, etc. Hunting license fees are shared with the villagers. Several villagers get jobs managing the hunting camps as guides, trackers, cooks, etc. Meat from the animals killed (a small percent of the population each year so as not to reduce the breeding stock, just as is done with domestic cattle) is distributed throughout the village. This economic activity prevents poaching and revenge killing (snaring and poisoning, usually) of wildlife that would otherwise have no value to these local people. Where conservancy systems like this operate, wildlife thrives. In communal areas where paid sport hunting is not allowed, virtually all large wildlife is wiped out, poached and sold for "bushmeat" or merely killed to get rid of the nuisanc

View from Chief Joseph highway N. of Cody, WY. Rocky Mountain foothills scenes like this inspire the rambling hunter in me. Wouldn t you just love to set out across that landscape with a rifle in hand a mule deer in mind? Or an elk, pronghorn, bison... Thanks to an abundance of public land throughout the West, we can still enjoy the spaces and wildlife seen by the likes of Jim Bridger, Chief Joseph and Lewis & Clark. _MG_7452.JPG

Another view of that 1873 Winchester found in Great Basin Ntl. Park last year. The .44-40 cartridge shown here was found in a trap door in the butt of this rifle. In background is an intact version of the 1873. Best evidence suggests this rifle had leaned against a cedar tree for at least a century. Who knows? _MG_7433.JPG

Another look at the Winchester M1873 found leaning against a tree on a ridge in Great Basin Ntl. Park last November. There were no rounds in the tubular magazine and none in the chamber, but X-rays revealed one in the butt stock trap door. The cartridge lifter was missing, meaning the rifle could only fire as a single-shot. Experts dated the cartridge, a Union Metallic Cartridge Company 44 WCF (.44-40), between 1887 and 1911. Theories as to what happened to the person who left the rifle are posted and can be read at http://centerofthewest.org/explore/firearms/ and iscout.bbcw.org.

An anti-hunter writes a reasoned, well researched article about the critical conservation benefits of regulated, sustainable trophy hunting. The allegedly illegal hunt of a lion lured from the Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe sparked international outrage and ruined the life of the hunter, a dentist from Minnesota named Walter Palmer. But such singular hatred about such a multi-faceted issue is largely misplaced.

Another look at the barren desert Namibia s oryx tolerate. Wonderfully adaptable antelope. Sport hunter demand for oryx hunts has encouraged private landowners to increase populations some 70 percent.
