This is amazing. A duck hunter attached a GoPro HD to his hunting dog and lets us see what it’s like to hunt from a dog’s perspective. We get to see the whole hunting process from a dog’s perspective: the quick reactions, the animal instincts, the ease of swimming, the grab and even the dizzying water shake. Looks fun, but a lot of work too. [The Sugarcoat via Field and Stream]

Hide the china, bananas, children—whatever. I guess it doesn’t really matter, because for the first time ever an orangutan was spotted in the wild using a gadget to hunt.

These 6.5″ Bazooka “Outdoor Tubbie” speakers are hilarious on numerous levels. First off, they are designed for hunters—which is why they are camouflaged. The idea is to hook them to your ATV roll bar, which I can only presume is useful for those interested in hunting wild game while blaring music. Uh, I don’t know much about hunting, but I do know that thundering out of the brush, guns a’ blazin’ with duelling banjos blaring from your ATV is unlikely to result in a successful kill. However, if you are interested in picking them up, you can do so starting this March for US$449.95. [Product Page via AudioJunkies]
