Drones blasting AC/DC and Scarlett Johansson are helping biologists protect cattle from wolves

For millennia humans have tried to scare wolves away from their livestock. Most of them didn’t have drones.
But a team of biologists working near the California-Oregon border do, and they’re using them to blast AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck,” movie clips and live human voices at the apex predators to shoo them away from cattle in an ongoing experiment.

Hungarian partridge offer fast-flushes, challenging shots, and a taste of the Old World in America’s grasslands

The upland hunt in the early 2000s unraveled in a postcard-perfect setting: along the rolling hills of small grain and grassland near Lemmon, S.D., just west of the walleye-rich Missouri River, where Lewis and Clark paddled and explored many moons ago.
It included three dogs – all pointers – and four hunters, all of whom were from southern states and new to the northern Great Plains and its upland hunting traditions.

Stu Legacy and his wife Malinda are avid kayakers.
That’s a big reason the couple moved to the Town of Brasher (St. Lawrence County, N.Y.) to be close to the Deer River, a popular stream for fishing, paddling and other recreation. But in recent years, the safety of the waters of the Deer River has been called into question, as nearby residents started noticing unusual discharges and odors, along with apparent declines in local fish populations.

For early archery success, enter with a plan in place

It’s the same old story, year after year. Summer arrives, and we all have the best of intentions to shoot our bows, hang some deer stands, put out some cameras, and just generally prepare ourselves for spending all fall in the deer woods.
But somehow, the fish start biting, the kids have baseball games, and the heat talks us out of getting too serious. Then, just like that, we realize that we’ve nearly run out of time.
