Video: Hunting Moose in Eastern Canada

October 7, 2018 by rackcamp Leave a Comment

The anglers from Hooké have now turned the camera on hunting adventures.

From Hooké:

“As the fly-fishing season is coming to an end, it is the beginning of the hunting season. This year we have a new addition in our Hooké tv series: we are embarking on sharing our vision and passion for Hunitng. The combination of these two disciplines came instinctively for us since we have been fly fishing and hunting since day 1. Throughout our travels across the globe we have come to realize that many people practice hunting and fly fishing in the same way as we do. This is why we decided to bring to life hunting, we share the same passion and values for both sports. Hunting and fishing have been part of our history for thousands of years and we strongly believe the importance of sharing our vision to our growing audience and how we bring a new approach to age-old techniques and traditions.

Thanks to Unis TV for believing in us since the beginning and helping us share our passions, and Sépaq – Chasse et Pêche for making this clip possible.”

RMEF Helps Conserve Two Chunks of Colorado Elk Habitat

October 4, 2018 by rackcamp Leave a Comment

MISSOULA, Mont.—The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation worked with two conservation-minded families to permanently protect more than 2,300 acres of prime elk habitat in central Colorado.

“We appreciate the Mancuso and Ross families for recognizing the important conservation values of their land and reaching out to us to help permanently protect them,” said Kyle Weaver, RMEF president and CEO.

The 579-acre Burris Mountain and 1,765-acre Antelope Valley properties are located southwest of Colorado Springs between Canon City and Salida. These land projects represent RMEF’s fifth and sixth in Fremont County.

“These two conservation easements are especially important because the properties provide crucial winter range for elk and mule deer as well as a wildlife corridor between adjacent public lands,” said Blake Henning, RMEF chief conservation officer. “The acreage also lies within the Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area and is considered high priority because of its proximity to the Arkansas River and tributary headwaters.”

The ranches contain a variety of habitat types including mountain grasslands, rock outcroppings, aspen, pinyon-juniper and ponderosa pine woodlands as well as wet meadows. Several waterways flow through the properties toward the Arkansas River to the south thus providing vital riparian habitat for an array of bird and animal life.

In addition to protecting the headwater properties of the Arkansas River and water resources downstream, the project also has links to Colorado’s historic cattlemen. Dating back to the mid to late 1800s, they homesteaded this area and used the range to establish herds and conduct cattle drives.

About the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation:

Founded over 30 years ago, fueled by hunters and a membership of more than 227,000 strong, RMEF has conserved more than 7.3 million acres for elk and other wildlife. RMEF also works to open and improve public access, fund and advocate for science-based resource management, and ensure the future of America’s hunting heritage.

Big bucks in Kansas!

From The Element:

“Tyler takes it back a couple years to his beginnings as he pursues higher video production while also pursuing old Kansas bucks. His buddy and familiar face to The Element, Justin Wright, has what we would call the perfect morning. Its hard to beat the quiet sounds of yellow Cottonwood leaves falling as the morning sun warms the landscape, but throw a super old, square bodied buck chasing does on a permission property into the mix and I think we might have hit the pinnacle of deer hunting.”
