Features of hunting in Kareliya

Those who would like to go to us on hunting should read through this page, fishing or simply to have a rest among the wild nature. It will help to avoid the annoying miscalculations, not come true hopes and superfluous questions to a management of the hunting farm.

The information presented on this page concerns features of district, and also conditions of hunting in the hunting farm "Menskoe".

In the beginning the reference to those who represents hunting in ours hunting farm on film to "Feature of national Russian hunting". That in will to get drunk - there are places less removed and more comfortable. At us bears too go, but on the basis of the hunting farm meetings with them will not be. There will be no cow-shed with milkmaids, boxes with vodka, cows and helicopters. Our purpose - to give to you an opportunity to lead week in the protogenic environment of the Karelian nature, far from noise and vanity of a civilization. To show the nature such what it was hundred years ago, to show animals and birds in the environment of their dwelling, to listen to their voices and the songs which have come to us from a fog of times.

We shall not let out pheasants from open-air cages under a shot, to shoot elks through a fence and bears on a circuit. All animals and birds here are free. The desire, diligence, skill and experience that they became your extraction is necessary. We are ready to help you with it. But for the beginning read through this page and solve, whether it has helped you to learn more about hunting in Kareliya.

The hunting farm "Menskoe" it is located in the beginning of a height "the Windy belt", the White Sea originating coast. The Karelian hunting open spaces are not hunting ground an average strip of Russia and other densety populated territories.

There are no here fields and the meadows, the branched out network of roads, villages and farms. Around a wood, lakes, riding bogs, the rivers and rivulets. Small soil roads comes to an end with deadlocks more often. Once on them took out the cut down wood. And now going on a wood, occasionally you will come across rails, hidden by a moss and roots of birches. Local bogs - riding, where small pines grow, or pure spacious sites with low grass, where in the spring display a blackcock. Impassable bogs are not present.

Walking on the Karelian wood easy you will not name. Animal tracks begins and quickly comes to an end. Places at rivulets, where grows, as a rule, a high grass and in it recondite deep holes, stubs and windfallen trees. Being forwarded through streams continually you stumble. Business when you go along border a wood-bog is better is. There walking is easier, more than feathery game. In the summer and in the autumn a bog similarly to very soft carpet, waters there are not present and in a mine. There are the sites of a wood reminding well well-groomed park, to go on it - it is a pleasure.

Therefore, before sending to us, critically weigh the physical opportunities. If at home you can not overcome on a wood 10 - 15 km of road, to us to go it is not necessary.

In the autumn duration of one hunting on the pinery game makes 4 - 5 hours. For a day at normal weather it is usually done two outputs on hunting. As such hunting has individual character (going crowd of a bird at all you will not see) skills of orientation to districts are necessary. The compass and a card should to learn use in advance.

In Kareliya though also circle of a wood, but having though initial skills of orientation to districts to lose the way difficultly. Always there will be a good reference point - the river, lake, the big bog, road, etc. Now very good assistant on orientation is the navigator. But will learn them it is necessary to use also in advance.

Walking on our roads hunting you will not name, and game hardly you will see. Hunting from the machine, the hunting farm does not practise. The hunter should be capable track down, creep on a true shot, and extract game. Even if there is no in that an experience, anything terrible. After one-two seasons of hunting it will appear.

Reading of books on hunting though also it is useful, but does not give experience. In the beginning of the hunting way, having read through books, I two spring drove wood-grouses on a current on end, but and could not to approach to one. And was to go on hunting for wood-grouse with the skilled hunter as all became on the places enough, and began to bring on a wood-grouse from each hunting.

Very big assistant in autumn hunting - working under gun a dog. It is a guarantee of that hunting will be successful. Suit also leather. The pinery game publishes a strong smell, therefore any of leather show interest to birds. Even if the dog underbred and, like, confused, but does not trudge near to the owner, and ransacks on a wood not far from the owner - already half-business. For a day it not time somewhere will lift a bird, and it is quite possible, will overtake for it on you. The hunter should hunts with the his dog. Our experience shows, that almost all the dogs even well working, refuse work if is not present a number of the owner.

In the spring use of dogs completely is forbidden. On a current any noise can spoil hunting for some days forward, and in other cases - and for all season.

The hunter who smokes and often coughs, has few chances to approach to a wood-grouse, and hunting for a bear and is at all hopeless. By long-term experience we know, that cough on a warehouse, not only spoils hunting to the smoker but so guards a bear, that it and at all leaves this area for some weeks. Therefore if you smoke or ill with a bronchitis, and cough, it is better to refrain from a trip to us on hunting.

Good luck!
