  • Claire Harries (23), a groom from Godalming prepares to go on Surrey Union Hunt. She is clearly against the Blair hunting ban. Preparing to go out on the Surrey Union hunt. The Surrey Union has been hunting in Surrey since the 18th century and hunts on into the 21st century, albeit within the restrictions of Hunting Act.  The Hunt meets on Tuesdays and alternate Fridays and Saturdays during the main part of the season (but generally Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays after the end of shooting) and is pleased to welcome visitors and supporters, mounted or on foot. It is generally accepted that the Surrey Union dates back to 1798, and was probably so named following the amalgamation of two private packs belonging to the Leech family of Lea Park, Godalming, and the Rev. Samuel Godschall of Albury.  The hunt button to this day bears the letters UH and it is likely the combined pack was known simply as the Union Hunt in its earliest days.

  • It is tradition among puffin hunters to release the first puffin caught each season to bring luck for future hunting – any accidentally caught with fish in their beaks are also released. Puffin hunting has been of major importance in Vestmannaeyjar and during the hunting season of just over 6 weeks every year, some 16,000 puffins were caught to make up Iceland’s national dinner. However by 2011 and 2012, breeding failures had taken such a toll that puffin hunting was banned in the Vestmannaeyjar.  In 2013 five-day puffin-hunting season was allowed at the end of July.

  • Duck hunting at dawn on a hilltop south-east of Minot. The duck hunters travel in the dark to the place they suspect will be the morning feeding roost for ducks. As the sun comes up they have prepared decoys in the field and hide behind some undergrowth in their camouflage clothing. As the sun rises soem ducks take to the air for their morning feed. As they draw near the hunters make female and feeding duck calls to attract the flying birds towards the decoys and to within shooting range. The moment they are close enough the hunters quickly take aim anf fire their shotguns; some of the ducks fall to the ground. A great deal of work and effort goes into this type of shooting, with the result being a few fine Mallards for the pot.

  • Using a bloodied knife and hand, an instructor of a special US Air Force (USAF) survival course who has butchered road kill deer. Near their facility at Fairchild AFB, Spokane, Washington State, the man teaches escape and evasion techniques to visiting air crew whose flying careers depend on passing this rigorous week of survival instruction.
