Kate and Martin present the perfect Browning clothing for waterfowl hunting. Browning Auric camouflage designed for waterfowl hunting is the perfect choice for those looking to blend in with their surroundings. With its earthy color combination and subtle pattern, it will help you stay hidden while you wait for your prey. What’s more, the fabric is lightweight, so you won’t be weighed down during long hunting days.

Development of OHV crossings

In this week’s episode, we take a look at OHV crossings, a project designed to protect spawning grounds. With the help of our special guests Alexandre Rasiulis from the Fédération des chasseurs et pêcheurs du Québec (FFQ) and Marc-Antoine Champagne from Zec Martin-Valin, we’ll find out more about this highly interesting project, and establish the whys, wherefores and hows of using these crossings. We’ll be discussing how to ensure that the development benefits both recreationists and wildlife. We’ll also be looking at how the project can be adapted to the ever-changing environment and the challenges involved in implementing such a project.

Wild turkey hunting

For wild turkey hunters, calling and luring are two of the most important tools in their arsenal. Calling with a decoy is a technique that uses a variety of vocalizations to attract turkeys within shooting range. The use of visual lures, also known as decoys, involves the installation of realistic-looking artificial birds to fool nearby big game birds into thinking they’ve found an easy meal. Although each hunter develops his or her own approach over time, there are a few basic principles that all good wild turkey hunters should know. Phil Paradis ofEcotone St-Pascal-de-Kamouraska, tells you a little more in this program!
