First ever returning boomerang battleaxe
I have created many different boomerang designs but this one really goes "outside the box" of what a boomerang is suppose to look like. I named it the Warlock and in this video you will see that it really does fly and return to my hands. This and many other designs can be found on my website BoomerangsByVic. I build them for right and left handed throwers. Each one is made by me Victor Poulin.

Guy Throws Returning Boomerang Straight Into A Basketball Hoop
Most people have seen a boomerang only in the movies. You remember the typical plot of the old movies: the hero of the film throws a boomerang, which flies in the air making a characteristic whistle, hits the villain oh his head, and then, as of on command, obediently returns to the hero. The hero smiles: the day was not spent in vain. There is one fatal mistake in this movie plot: if you throw a boomerang and it hits anything, it will never return to the person who throws it.
In fact, a boomerang is one of the varieties of a throwing baton. These batons are known for 10,000 years. Archaeologists find them in the burials of Ancient Egypt. The Hopi Indians from Arizona used throwing batons to hunt rabbits and they still use them today in their traditional dances.
The Australian Aborigines were the ones who invented the boomerang, which, after a throw, returns to the person who threw it, the world's only returning projectile. The Australian aborigines, who used to live in a primitive tribal system (the first inhabitants of the Green Continent), also used ordinary non-returning projectiles for hunting.
The Dutch physicist Felix Hess got concerned with the question of what makes the boomerang return. A Math and Physics graduate, he wrote a 600-page book on why the boomerang returns to the shooter. Hess believed that the boomerang returns for two reasons. The first is in the shape of a boomerang, the second is in the method of throwing.
Today, we see a revival of the <a href="https://rumble.com/v4i2ps-huge-boomerang-flight.html" target="_blank">boomerang</a>. One of the key responsible figures for this trend is Victor Poulin, form New Hampshire who is not an Aboriginal Australian but manages to produce and provide the world with exceptionally designed and crafted boomerangs since 2008. Vic boomerang story is exceptional: he threw his first plastic boomerangs when he was only 10, but his dad took it away from him because he feared Vic is bound to hit somebody on the head with it. Almost 30 years later, his wife gave him a boomerang as a birthday present. He got hooked and wanted to find out what makes the boomerang return to the shooter. After unravelling the millennia old mystery, Vic started to build his own line of boomerangs. After posting a few videos on YouTube, his new hobby turned into a blooming business.
In the video on the top of the page, you can see Vic showing his dexterity and skill when throwing a boomerang. The boomerang in the video targets the basketball hoop. You can follow the awesome curvature of the boomerang flight trajectory. It does not go straight, like a ball or other projectile would, because of its shape and the aerodynamics of its wings. You really need to have some training and experience when throwing it, like Vic does in the video: It actually returns in this epic flight into his <a href="https://rumble.com/v4itzz-amazing-soccer-kick-into-basketball-hoop.html" target="_blank">basketball hoop</a>!

Wild turkeys fly up to eat berries from tree
In New Hampshire wild turkeys are becoming very popular. So popular in fact that it is common to see them out on your front lawn, crossing the main roads and even chasing some people to protect their young. Not so long ago there were no wild turkeys in New Hampshire and now there are thousands. Currently there are around 40,000 and climbing!

Turkeys fighting over food and flying into tree
These wild New Hampshire turkeys are regular visitors to my property here in Colebrook. They often get along but when food becomes scarce they tend to bicker back and forth a little.
Eastern wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo)
Toms (adult males) weigh 18-24 pounds or more; hens (females) about 10 pounds. Plumage is iridescent bronze; dark in males and tips rusty or light brown in females. Wings and fan-shaped tail show alternating dark bands. Neck and head of adult males is reddish, while females have bluish heads with more feathers.
A dewlap (fleshy growth hanging under chin), caruncles (growths located on the side and front of neck), and a snood (a fleshy projection rising above the bill) adorn males. A beard (like bristles on a broom) hangs down from the chest; typical in males and in 5% of females. Males have spurs 1/4 to 1-1/4 inch long on the lower legs.
Range and Distribution
A non-migratory native of much of North America from s. Canada to c. Mexico. Wild turkeys totally disappeared from New Hampshire 150 years ago because of habitat loss and the lack of a fish and game department to regulate hunting seasons. NH Fish and Game began transplanting wild turkeys into the state in in 1969-70 (this initial effort failed), then again in 1975. Today the population is estimated at upwards of 25,000 birds. Turkeys are present in every county in New Hampshire, though severe winter weather and lack of suitable habitat limit the distribution of wild turkeys in the northernmost part of the state.
Turkey Habits and Habitat
Turkeys forage on the ground in flocks, occasionally mounting shrubs and small trees. Acorns, beechnuts, cherries, and ash seeds are primary food sources. Seeds, berries, grasses, sedges and insects are important summer foods. Turkeys eat corn, rye, oats, alfalfa, soybeans, millet, and buckwheat. Grit is important. Adults eat 90% plant matter and 10% insects. Poults eat mainly insects. In winter turkeys visit seeps; they feed on sensitive fern fertile stalks, waste corn, and persistent fruits such as barberry, rose hips, and dried apples.
Adult males gobble to attract females and to repel competing males. Both adults make a variety of noises - yelps, clucks, cackles, purrs, rattles, and gobbles. Wild Turkeys are polygamous. Toms gather a harem of hens by gobbling, strutting, and using dramatic plumage displays. Mating occurs in April and nesting in May. The nest is typically a small depression lined with dead leaves. Nests are located in areas with a well-developed understory or in cut-over areas with slash.
Hens breed in their first year while adult males ("toms") out-compete one-year old males ("jakes"). Hens lay 8-15 eggs. Chicks hatch in 28 days, typically in early June.
Coyote, fox, and fisher are the major predators of adult turkeys. Hens will often abandon a nest if disturbed during incubation. In late summer, hens and their broods often band together to form large flocks. Wild turkeys take advantage of different habitats throughout the year based on their food and nesting needs. In the fall, turkeys forage in mast-producing stands of oak/hickory, oak/pine, and northern hardwoods. Hardwood stands with south-facing slopes and seep areas are favored in winter. Large softwood or hardwood trees are needed for roosting. Wild turkeys forage at farms in winter.
Openings, including pastures, hayfields, burned areas, clear-cuts, blueberry barrens, and natural savannas, are a key component of their habitat. These areas support low herbaceous or grassy ground cover and insects needed for brood-rearing.
Wild turkeys aren't territorial. They travel over 4 to 5 square miles during the year, although during the winter and nesting season they often restrict their movements within 100-200 acres. Turkeys are active during the day, roosting in trees from sundown until sunrise.

Expert Gives Instructions On How To Throw A Boomerang
Boomerangs are almost as old as humans. They have been used by many civilisations as a weapon for hunting and even just for sport and hobby. The oldest boomerang was found in Europe, however, it is mostly associated with the culture of the indigenous people of Australia. The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of Australia have perfected the craft of hunting with a boomerang so much so that it is one of their trademarks.
Boomerangs are thrown tools that are shaped to form an angle. They are made with a flat airfoil shape, usually flat on the bottom and rounded on one side of the top, tapering out to a sharp edge. This design helps with the aerodynamics and makes the boomerang form an angle of 90 degrees in the air and return to the point where it was thrown from.
<a href="https://rumble.com/v2zidz-bat-returning-boomerang-has-beautiful-flight..html" target="_blank">Vic of 'boomerangsbyvic'</a> explains how to throw a traditionally shaped returning boomerang. This was a boomerang he had already mailed to a customer who, having difficulties getting a good return, was asked by Vic to mail the boomerang back so he could show him exactly how to throw it.
The first thing he does is show us that it is in fact the boomerang that the customer sent. Afterwards, he explains the way the boomerang should move. He points out that the best way to make sure that the device returns to you is to make sure that there is a slight breeze in the air where you’re supposed to throw it. You should determine which way the breeze is coming from and stand facing it. In order to make the boomerang return, you need to make sure you throw it a little bit to the right of it. The process of throwing is easy too. You must remember to hold the boomerang with the airfoil side of it facing you. You hold it with the first three fingers of your right hand and the angle of the boomerang facing you. You shouldn’t throw the device with too much force but rather focus on flicking your wrist. Once you have it up in the air, you should try catching it between the open palms of your hand, but you should be very careful while doing it because it might <a href="https://rumble.com/v4qrk9-boomerang-hits-camera-man.html" target="_blank">hurt</a> you.
We can see Vic throwing the boomerang a few times to make sure that it returns. The first time he realises that there was probably too much wind so he throws it a bit more to the left, right into the breeze. After it returns a bit further to the back, the next time he throws it, he makes sure that its direction is almost entirely facing the direction of the breeze. It seems that third time's a charm, because he manages to get it right and even catch it in his hands.

Wild turkeys afraid to cross the main road
Welcome everyone. Take a look at all these wild turkeys on my property here in NH. It's late October and the snow is falling. These turkeys love to feed on my property. Not seen in this video are 2 apple trees and a berry tree with fruit all over them and on the ground outback on my property.

Meet Rosie our free roam pet rabbit bunny hare
This is our pet rabbit Rosie. She is a Lionhead Angora. Raising Angora rabbits can be a fun experience. But just like any other animal, Angora rabbits require care.
You are here: Home / Home Improvement / Garden / Important Things to Know About Raising an Angora Rabbit
Important Things to Know About Raising an Angora Rabbit
Raising Angora rabbits can be a fun experience as well as a way to make money from selling their fiber. But just like any other animal, Angora rabbits require care. In this article, I am going to discuss several breeds of Angora rabbits, how to care for Angora rabbits, how big Angora rabbits get, how to groom them, and why Angora rabbits can be fun to raise. Let’s get started.
Breeds of Angora Rabbits
There are many varieties of breeds of Angora rabbits. Among these breeds are German Angora rabbits, English Angora rabbits, Giant Angora rabbits, French Angora rabbits, Satin Angora rabbits, Dwarf Angora rabbits, Jersey Wooley rabbits, and American Fuzzy Lop rabbits. There are other breeds that look like Angora rabbits, such as the Lionhead rabbit, but they are officially not a part of the Angora rabbit family. However, you can still raise these types of rabbits just like you would raise Angora rabbits because they are very similar to the Angora breed. Below I will discuss the different types of Angora rabbits so that you can determine which breed would be best for you.
What Is the Lionhead Rabbit?
Lionhead rabbits are often mistaken for Angora rabbits. That is because they have a lot of hair, just like Angora rabbits do. However, Lionhead rabbits are not a part of the Angora rabbit breed. Lionhead rabbits have a “mane” around their head similar to a lion’s mane. There are two types of manes: single manes and double manes. A single mane Lionhead rabbit has a mane of hair around its head, but a double mane Lionhead rabbit will have more hair around the head. The only way you can really tell if your Lionhead rabbit has a single mane or double mane is to check when they are babies. While their mane will not come in until they are older, you can check a newborn bunny to see if it has a V forming around their flanks. If your bunny does, it is a double mane Lionhead rabbit. Some Lionhead rabbits do not have much of a mane if any. This is either because it is a mixed breed, or it is just the way your bunny is. Each rabbit will have a different look. Some will have an impressive mane, while others will have just a small amount of hair around their head.
One common question about Lionhead rabbits is this: How do I tell the difference between a Lionhead rabbit and an Angora rabbit?
The answer is rather simple. Angora rabbits have much thicker hair than Lionheads have. Additionally, Lionheads do not have the ear tassels that Angoras have. Lionheads also do not need to be sheared, but they do need regular brushing.
