For years many hunters have been told the moon could be used to somehow predict variations in rut timing. However, there’s no need. The timing of peak deer breeding is extremely consistent year to year in any location, while moon phase varies all over the calendar. Numerous scientific studies support day length as the rut trigger. And as we already reported in an earlier video, moon phase does not strongly affect the timing of deer movement, either. #deerscience #deer #whitetails #hunting #natio

In 2007, Inupiat hunters in Alaska made an astonishing discovery — a bowhead whale carrying a piece of living history within its flesh. Embedded deep in the whale’s neck blubber was a 19th-century harpoon fragment, a bomb lance manufactured in New Bedford, Massachusetts, around the 1880s — the height of America’s whaling era. The finding stunned scientists. The whale had clearly survived the attack more than a century earlier, meaning it was likely over 100 years old, possibly closer to 150 or e
