Let's wait with bird hunting today - let's grow

Yury Matveev, Deputy Head of the Department for the Protection and Use of Wildlife Objects of the Republic of Tatarstan, and Head of the Department for Licensing, State Accounting, Cadastre and Regulation of the Use of Wildlife Objects of the Department for the Protection and Use of Objects told about the details of the upcoming hunting season at a meeting with journalists at Tatar-inform news agency fauna of the Republic of Tatarstan Rinat Chispiyakov.
So, in particular, the badger hunting season will start on August 15, and the main waterfowl hunting season will start on September 3.

This year, the timing of the hunting season has been slightly shifted. In Tatarstan, the waterfowl hunting season has been limited - now it will begin on the first Saturday of the first autumn month, which falls on September 3rd. And in previous years, this hunt began from the third week of August. The limitation is due to the fact that, according to the results of many years of monitoring studies, it was revealed that in Tatarstan by this time not all birds are ready for independent existence.
- We have a lot of non-flying chicks that cannot fly on their own yet, and they should not be hunted. They need to be given time to get stronger and take on the appearance of a real adult bird, - Rinat Chispiyakov explained.

white hare
do not touch

In addition, by decree of the President of the Republic of Tatarstan, additional restrictions on hunting have been introduced. It is generally forbidden to hunt some species of animals and birds, and the terms of hunting are also limited.
- A restriction has been introduced until 2017 for hunting capercaillie, hazel grouse and gray partridge. And this year, black grouse has been added to the list, - said Chispiyakov. - Any restrictions are introduced in order to preserve and successfully reproduce animals and birds. There are also restrictions on hunting a hare. And the hunting for white hare on the territory of the republic is completely closed, since the number of this species needs serious measures to restore it. As the specialist emphasized, after the introduction of restrictions last year, the number of some species of animals and birds, although slightly, increased.

In the lottery

For hunters, the main prize is a roe deer
By the way, as part of the drawing of lots for the right to hunt ungulates, for the first time in a long time in Tatarstan, a drawing of permits for hunting roe deer will be held.
Through this draw, 49 wild boars and 18 elk will be distributed in the new season.
To participate in the draw before 16.00 on August 12, you must submit an application to the department for participation in the lottery for the right to hunt wild ungulates. The drawing of the right to harvest ungulates will take place on August 24 at 14.00.
- Applications can be submitted for one of the types of resources. The right to hunt elk and wild boar will be played. Thus, an application can be submitted for one of the resources in one of the regions of the republic, - explained Yuri Matveev, deputy head of the Department for the Protection and Use of Animal World Objects of the Republic of Tatarstan. At the same time, he stressed that for the first time in a long time, two permits for roe deer hunting in the Alekseevsky district of the Republic of Tatarstan will be raffled off.

The draw will be made using the lottery machine. Anyone will be able to attend the procedure in person and independently draw a ticket.

The list of prizes includes permission to shoot 49 wild boars in Agryz, Aznakaevsky, Alekseevsky, Alkeevsky, Leninogorsk, Mamadysh and Nurlat regions of the Republic of Tatarstan, as well as to shoot 18 elk in Agryz, Aznakaevsky, Alekseevsky, Almetevsky, Leninogorsk, Mamadysh and Nurlat regions and two roe deer in the Alekseevsky district of the Republic of Tatarstan.

Hunt
on the fox - we fight

with rabies

But a permit for fox hunting is not required now. The fact is that foxes are the main carrier of a deadly disease - rabies.
- We are obliged to regulate the number of foxes on the territory of the republic, because Tatarstan is one of the leaders in this disease, - Rinat Chispiyakov explained.
Compared to last year, the number of foxes has been significantly reduced in the republic. If last year in Tatarstan the main livestock numbered more than 9 thousand individuals, then this season - about 6 thousand.
Last year, only within the framework of amateur hunting, 3,000 foxes were shot, and as part of the regulation of the number, more than 7,000 foxes were hunted by special brigades.

Today we have reduced the number of foxes very well, and there is no longer a threatening figure of 9 thousand foxes on the territory of the republic, - Chispiyakov said and expressed the hope that the wave of rabies would bypass the republic.
By the way, the main source of food for foxes are mouse-like rodents. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the fight against these rodents. Only the regulation of the number of foxes will be quite difficult to manage, the speaker added.
- Within the framework of amateur sports fox hunting, we do not limit any territory - there are no restrictions on any region of the Republic of Tatarstan. So fox hunting is open everywhere and without restrictions, - summed up the specialist of the Department for the Protection and Use of Animal World Objects of the Republic of Tatarstan.

... And here are the bears
in Tatarstan completely overwhelmed

If the fox, the heroine of numerous fairy tales, is popularly called affectionately the fox-sister, Lisa Patrikeevna, then in relation to the bear, a person jokes carefully and respectfully. This is no wonder. Recently, complaints about the aggressive behavior of brown bears have become more frequent in Tatarstan. Not only do the local Winnie the Pooh shamelessly steal beehives from apiaries, they also scare the mushroom pickers to death in the forest.
So, for example, last year 36 complaints from beekeepers were received from the Mamadysh region of the Republic of Tatarstan. Completely overwhelmed bears pricked up to carry away 20 beehives a day! In addition, in the Zelenodolsk region of the Republic of Tatarstan, a bear with two cubs frightened mushroom pickers, and on the territory of the Republic of Mari El, not far from the border with Tatarstan, this female even attacked a person.

Last year, we already sent a proposal to the Ministry of Forestry of the Republic of Tatarstan to exclude the brown bear from the Red Book. I think that due to the growth of its numbers, we will once again be forced to insist on the withdrawal of this powerful, dangerous beast from the Red Book, - Yury Matveev summed up.

According to experts, the brown bear population in Tatarstan has indeed grown quite a lot.
“According to our estimates, there are about 120 individuals in the republic now,” said Yuri Matveev. In winter, bears migrate - they go to colder, and therefore more comfortable for them, the Republic of Mari El, Udmurtia, the Kirov region. About 40 brown bears remain in Tatarstan for the winter, which lie in dens to sleep well until spring.

By the way, the main habitats of animals are Rybno-Slobodsky, Mamadyshsky, Sabinsky. It is in these areas that there is a fairly large population of the real owner of the forest - the brown bear.
Continuing the conversation about the situation in the hunting business, Yuri Matveev said that there are now 95 hunting farms in Tatarstan. About 40,000 hunting tickets have been issued in the republic this season.
In this regard, the following fact is noteworthy. According to experts, not all who have received a hunting license are hunters. About 10 thousand of them simply decided in this way to obtain the right to carry traumatic weapons. Therefore, the number of real, real hunters in Tatarstan is estimated at about 30 thousand people.

Continuing the theme of hunters, Yuri Matveev complained that the issue of poaching remains very acute.
We are fighting poachers. To do this, they created a group that collects information on the republic and quickly responds to signals from the regions, he said.
After all, poaching greatly affects the population of some species of animals.

Thanks to the “efforts” of poachers, we double the norms set for the season,” Matveev joked sadly.
In this regard, he recalled that poaching is punishable by a fine and the seizure of weapons.
In conclusion, we would like to add that the new hunting season in the Republic of Tatarstan will last until February 28 inclusive. Break a leg!
