no, snipes but ducks too to be exactly

---

I was making a joke. As snipes are almost always shot with shotguns, I wonder if the term "snipers" comes not from shooting an accurate rifle at a target a long way away, but instead from the skilled shotgunner shooting a fast flying snipe?

The only snipe, I have seen when shooting, was a woodcock flying through the forest at tremendous speed, compared to pheasant, when pheasant shooting in England. I had started to swing on it and lining it up, when someone yelled "don't shoot!" and then someone else yelled "shoot" but my opportunity had passed in that second or two.

Once upon a time snipe, Japanese and Manchurian Snipe could be hunted and shot in Victoria, before some protection of migratory birds act was passed and some international treaty closing down that legal season for ever in Australia. A challenging shooting sport for those who could do it.

So, would I be a "goose" if I started telling good shotgunners, that they are "a hell of a sniper"! For good shotgunning?

Why is the bear smoking a cigar ?

wrong question, the bear was shot because he was smoking!
was a strict non smoking area, he was warned before twice - no third warning

Obviously, this is the aftermath of an execution. Normally, the condemned prisoner is allowed a smoke before being shot by a firing squad. He must have been brave, since there is no blindfold present.

Very funny.

BTW while all you crazu NE members are talking about cigars, I decided to blow the photo up.

Is the 'cigar' the bear's tongue? Or some sort of 'last meal rite' like the last turnip? Or is it the bear's truly last Habano smoke?

I'm continuing...
The same place and the same time (more-less)

Seems to be the same man:



Col. August Von Spiess (August 6, 1864 – 1953), formally known as Oberst August Roland von Braccioforte zum Portner und Höflein, was an officer, writer, famous hunter and Hunting Master for the Romanian royal court.
Von Spiess was born in Austria and became a Romanian citizen after the Union of Transylvania with Romania, following the dissolution of Austria-Hungary.
In 1875, at 11 years old, he entered the military school of Sankt Pölten, after which he joined the Theresian Military Academy of Wiener Neustadt, Vienna. After 10 years of military studies, in August 1885 he became a lieutenant in the Transylvanian 64th Infantry stationed in the Alba Iulia area. In May 1889 he advanced to the rank of Major and settled in Sibiu, where he acted as drill officer. In 1893 he became a professor at the Military Infantry Cadet School of Sibiu; in 1911 he was named commander of the school. In February 1915, he advanced to the rank of Colonel and took command of the 2nd Regiment Infantry in Sibiu.
Von Spiess finished his military career after the end of World War I, and was appointed by King Ferdinand I of Romania as Director of the Royal Hunts from 1 July 1921. He kept this function until 1939. Simultaneously, he was a member of the Commission for Protection of Nature and National Parks, alongside honorary memberships of many domestic and foreign societies and associations with similar interests.
In 1926, Von Spiess and his daughter initiated a project to tag the birds of Snake Island, Romania. He led two hunting expeditions in equatorial Africa, in Kenya in 1936 and in Tanganika in 1938. He was a fine observer of nature, a connoisseur of game habits and a keen hunter, and gathered during his life a collection of over 1,000 hunting trophies. He also wrote a number of books pertaining to animals and hunting, mostly tied to the Carpathian Mountains region.

northern East Prussia, now the Russian Kaliningrad Oblast! It had a small but healthy Elch/moose population in the 1930s.

---

Quote:

---

east prussia before the war had an excellent elch stock. the sharpe selecting produced probably more good bulls that the other countrys around had then.

---

No doubt if the Elch herd was managed for trophy quality. As pretty much all of Norway, Sweden and Finland are meat hunter lands, a trophy is more of a chance than planning.

Having said that, when hunting wtth ErikD the second time, I did see and have an opportunity at a very good trophy bull moose. Had to count its tines, and then recount, it took a step or two and disappeared. Now I would just shoot it instantly and forget about counting its tines. Uwe, a young hunter may have shot the same bull moose the next year, and it was his first moose I believe. Magnificent trophy, the best in the region for a long time I believe. Good for him, well done. Damn I should have shot it the year before. Christian would have hated me, he had to let it walk past him, as in Norwegian the hunters had all been told to stop shooting. Not understanding Norwegian I was under no such restrictions ... Damnation !!!!

Sville/Staffan on these forums, busy nowadays not shooting or hunting much, and instead long distance skiing and stuff, had a good number of excellent moose trophies in his house. Not from his home area but from an area he had lived in the past. I want to hunt there!

BUT as these areas are all meat hunter areas, a trophy is not very common.

My one and only moose was a bull with a tine and a tine and a half! But good meat.

But I chuckle at the thought of future "students of hunting" viewing photos of us in full commercial Mossy-Oak-style camo, or in the tropics, rugby shorts and T-shirt, saying "Check out these vintage hunting photos, how quaint!"

I dread to think of the future ...

but who would be the bad guy than in the storyline? hollywood style would be a young american found himself on such a hunt, an arrogant count beat him for nothing but he clever knock him out. then the complete hunting party try to kill him but he take one after the other in a most brutal way, most time with a .45 Colt SAA shooting the head off or the balls.

in the end riding on a rainbow unicorn into the sundown to free people of colour.
