The thrill of the hunt

As you know, our country is huge. Accordingly, the landscapes in different regions: steppe, forest-steppe, taiga, mountains. It is clear that climatic conditions are different everywhere. Therefore, the Russian hunters can hunt the different animals and choose to hunt on your own.

Also, our hunter has a lucky chance to visit other countries. This is possible if you watch television hunting and fishing channels and programs.
Of course, the production of such films is not easy. It requires considerable financial costs. The creators must have artistic taste and skill. And, paying tribute to these people, it must be said that the vast majority of such movies, in my opinion, wonderful. And when you see shooting Kuban hunter and camera operator Yury Semenova, especially zasadach hunts, which I personally love, as they say, just no words.

It is a pity that in all this “ointment” there was the proverbial “fly in the ointment”. This “spoon” is a film shown on the TV channel “Hunter and fisherman”. It demonstrates how hunting foxes with snowmobiles, which was held in Voronezh province by the local gosokhotinspektsii under the guidance of the head of service Vladimir Klimov. Besides movies, on TV constantly present the video again with a dashing chase foxes on snowmobiles, shots and comments: “the thrill of the hunt” and “exciting chase”.

Hunters with the experience of having their views and beliefs, such as the motorized hunting certainly unpleasant astonish. But for the young and immature this film as a guide of how you can quickly and without interference to produce animals. And poachers-and snowmobilers do not need weapons. They just zagadivat to exhaustion hares, foxes, ROE deer and even big boars, cutting them from the belts and bushes, then pressuring the ski of a snowmobile. However, with large boars struggle to try to achieve them with hammers. “The thrill of the hunt” is so prevalent, and so much stuff that I can’t get on the snowmobile and part of the throw to the crows.

I managed to speak by phone with the head of events, head of state Inspectorate Klimov, and find out what it was? Regulation of the number of foxes? The chief of service of corrected me that it was just hunting to regulate the population.

Here immediately I will allow myself to disagree with the boss, things beautiful word “hunting” to be called can not. As we know, it has its immutable and defining principles. The first of them, the object of hunting, beast, or bird, must have his chance. Second, if it’s hunting, then it should be done according to certain rules, which prohibited the use of any vehicle, that is, in our case, snowmobile. If these principles are violated, then there’s nothing to argue, it’s not hunting. And the hunting culture, ethics and aesthetics are generally not places.

In the course of the film and at the same time leading producer Andrew Kotsyuba often uses military vocabulary, which enters into this stupor. According to him, catching up with Fox, one snowmobile goes left, another right, and third rear covers the rear. It’s so sad.

The head of the Voronezh inspection Klimov said that for the first ten days of January the service is composed, if I am not mistaken, fifty-one Protocol, which is a record, before such a number of violations was not. This should not be surprising, surely this surge of violations contributed to the film with Fox chase on snowmobiles. I’m just sure of it. The head of the Inspectorate itself needs first to be the enemy of this snowmobile stock.

Because the Foundation of the various Russian poaching, usually one is an injustice. We have long been hanging in the air the same hamlet’s question of why is one that some can and others can not? License for ungulates, for example, is often not sold to hunters, and are distributed to the “right” people. How many of them were, the great mystery. The price of licenses and permits is a separate issue. Even mass kinds of hunting, for Peru, for the majority of ordinary hunters road, punched in the substantial budget gap.
In the Central regions of the ticket for foxes in the last winter season, mostly cost about five thousand rubles. The cost of this voucher is equivalent to the salary for the month. And often the salary field is less than this amount. How can a local hunter to give a month’s salary for a ticket, if he still needs the money to feed his family?
So why in this case, the number of foxes increases? There are some possible reasons, but the main is that it stopped EN masse to hunt. And stopped, in turn, because the fur of this animal is impaired. In addition, there was a change of generations of hunters, and inexperienced youth for this wise and cautious of the beast, not very dangerous. And of course, for hunters on the ground obstacle is the high price for a ticket. Although, logically, if we wish to reduce the number of foxes, a trip to it should be free at all. But it’s hard to believe, because logic and common sense in the hunting economy of our country has recently become less and less. And the procedure for obtaining licenses and permits each year artificially complicated.

Vladimir Klimov, justifying the snowmobile action, pointed to the fact that the population complains of the robbery of foxes in the backyard, and the administration of the region requires to take action. The administration is obliged not only to demand, but to work in this direction. That is, to facilitate the obtaining of permits and make them free to consider the remuneration for the production. It would be good to establish reception and processing of furs produced in each district. After all went well on this administration of the Vladimir province. However, declaring war on the foxes, for some reason entered the daily rate of production, equal to one animal. Even before, when Fox was much less, she has always mined without restriction.

If we return to the methods of production of foxes, then again, the most effective is the device of a bait and sacido. But Voronezh zaidziam not very lucky because the head of the inspection Klimov considers this method of hunting is poaching. Everything was in confusion in the oblonskys ‘ house: vintage beautiful and spectacular zasiditsya hunting became poaching, and ill-snowmobile race, which, moreover, are, in fact, shooting from a gun on sparrows, legal.

In order to reduce the number of foxes need to be expanded and the terms of hunting on it. After all, before a few seasons it was possible for her to hunt and in March, at this time, the fur of her good. Again this is a question for the administration.

Although the fur of a Fox recently dropped in price, but the products look great. For example, a fur coat or a coat with its bright, Sunny color always attracts attention to its owner. What is not true about women in the fur coat of black mink fur.

In the film an unpleasant experience leaves a moment when the beasts quickly dostigayutsya snowmobiles, but not fire back. Apparently, in order to give the operator more time for filming. Well, how can this be called hunting, if each extra jump in the limit of strength for the beast — torture? Moreover, a wounded Fox is seeking immediately, which is bound to make every true hunter, and behind it again, chasing and relieves the operator, thereby prolonging the suffering of the animal.

In fact, among the audience there are foreigners, who are surely horrified by what he saw. Such things are cruel adult, but a movie can look and children. In General, meaningless, cruel to the beasts of the race, which, in addition to harm hunting case, will not bring anything, and the number of foxes will decrease only slightly.
Now about the danger for snowmobilers. In the course of the race with shooting safety constantly broken. After all, even when shooting from a boat at the ducks accidents happen when one rowing and the other shoots, but this hunting is relaxed and unhurried. In fact on the ground under the snow may be bumps, hollows and bumps, Snowmobiling, accordingly, sharply to dive or jump. Loaded guns rifles during races are arranged horizontally, and the trunks are often channelled to operators, and on the neighboring shooters. But the movie’s plot probably edited, in fact, violations were probably more. The impression that foxes are chasing some random people for the first time took up arms.

In addition to disturbance, this movie is not nothing. These combat racing game certainly grist to the mill of poachers and opponents of hunting. A mystery to me, as only do not understand the creators of and participants in alleged hunting movie? Hunting here and does not smell.

A shoot foxes sorry. I sincerely believe that does not deserve this beautiful beast, though bred in large numbers for our own fault and the fault of hunting officials, such a fate.
