In Vologda on June 11 held its reporting-election conference of the regional society of hunters and fishermen. What kind of results the company completed another five years? What are the prospects, problems and challenges in front of Vologda hunters? What prevents the development of hunting in the region and Russia as a whole?
With these questions we addressed to the Chairman of the Board Voooir Vladimir Kaplin.
— Vladimir Vadimovich, tell us how society worked in the reporting five-year plan?
— If you say briefly — stable. The number of district offices, game farms, areas, fixed areas (about 3 million hectares) has not changed.
Biotech event held annually in full: in area of fodder fields (1202 ha), feeding grounds (262 units), the number of salt licks (3500 units) — higher ratios.
In five years, destroyed 1028 wolves (in the last five years — 741). According to the results of the national competition (with the exception of 2014) took first place in their group. Have achieved equitable allocation limit for moose — 302 in the 2011-2012 season, to 508 in the season of 2015-2016 As a result, strengthened the financial condition of the district offices, increased the activity of the primary hotcollection (in 2011 it was about 183, on January 1, 2016 — 360).
For the period from 2011 to 2015 held 367 events in hunting dog breeding involving dogs, 7242, i.e. on average once in five days can be any event. Features 38 experts-cynologists. Supported CPU Rosohotrybolovsouz published book gone E. A. Kozyreva the Likes of the European North. Section hounds has published at his own expense a book Lukeicheva V. “For Malik, but the heel.” Operates two test dogs.
For five years, 46 of competitions in sport fishing, from the national to the district level. Regional teams (adult and youth) eighteen times participated in competitions outside the region. Three times the boys took first place in the Championship of Russia. In March 2016 region team (senior) won first place in the Championship of Russia in the city of Uglich of the Yaroslavl region — five people became masters of sports of the Russian Federation.
In April — June 2011 was held the IV regional exhibition of hunting trophies. In August of 2015 participated in the first exhibition of hunting trophies in North-West Federal district (Saint-Petersburg). Took first place out of 10 Champions 7 — Vologda. There are 35 experts on the evaluation of hunting trophies. Active work of public formation section, DTK. Created the first in Russia section hunting for alluring animals. There is a section in the Internet site of the “Hunters of the Vologda region”. Held four “Holiday hunter”.
Over five years of revenues 160.1 million RUB. (last five years — 98,8), the cost — of 143.1 mln. is the Share of fees income — RUB 28 million, or 17.5 percent. This is a clear counterargument to those ranters who accuse companies in the “greasing” on this article income. We in the Kirillov district office share of contributions — 4 per cent!
Income from hunting is 98,5 million rbl., the cost of doing the hunting — 116,26 million rubles, i.e. subsidized from other sources of income — 17.7 million rubles — the truth that in the current economic conditions, management of hunting economy in Russia is unprofitable, visually confirmed.
Taxes and fees paid 45.9 million RUB 32 per cent of the costs.
— Judging by what You said, the work of the society not only stable, but also has a positive trend, despite the crisis. Why?
— “Cadres decide everything” — this slogan has not lost its relevance. Explain. In the system Oooir works 164. Out of the 18 chairmen of the boards 13 have hunting education. In the apparatus Oooir work of 7 people. All specialists, professionals. Three of them are part of the Supreme bodies of Rosohotrybolovsouz sections activities. Krysanova S. Z. Council for sport fishing, Nikitin E. O. — Canine advice, Kaplin V. V. — the Council of hunting trophies. Most full-time employees work in society more than a decade, despite low wages. On behalf of the Board Oooir low bow and heartfelt thanks to them all for many years of diligent work!
— How did the introduction of the unified state hunting license for the company?
— Predictable. Compared to 2011, when we had 15 350 members of society, at the end of 2015 remained 11 257 people. Loss of 4098 people, or 26.7 per cent from the original date. As You have seen from the above figures, the loss of moral rather than economic. Although, as far as I know, we have one of the lowest levels of loss of membership in Russia. The authors of the law on hunting, melnikovsky-Bersenevskaya team can rejoice — the goal set by them are achieved. But life will judge who is right and who is wrong. And all of them will be rewarded.
— How are the relations of the Board Oooir with district offices? Not having any conflicts?
In accordance with the Law “On public associations”, we have a single Charter. Of the 17 offices of the 10 are legal entities, i.e., have their registration certificate, INN, long term licenses. We have quite a lot of property, almost each district has its own administrative offices, garages, warehouses, kubasi, etc., but the Department may not sell property and is not its owner. The Charter contains a provision, that all property belongs to the organization as a whole. The question of its use in the competence of the regional Board or Council. Real estate objects and land plots registered with the Board Oooir. Upon delivery of the pieces of real estate lease the payment is typically the district office, and is one of the revenue. It carries the burden of operating costs, taxes, etc.
Deductions from membership fees from districts in the area for about twenty years was 10 percent, in 2016 — 15. As far as I know, our neighbors (Kirov, Kostroma) they are the limit to 25 percent. If the percentage increase, for the areas it will be noticeable.
As far as conflicts, crisis and fundamental just and there was not. Attempts of attacks on public property and finances in a timely manner repressed and suppressed!
— How do You work with Kottapatnam region?
— Business-like and constructive. I have already mentioned that the limit is at our core, the moose has increased almost twice. Equitable distribution of the limit is a characteristic of the last five-year plan. This has not happened since the 80-ies. Several of our Board members RO member of the Public Council of the Department, I am its Chairman.
At the district level also there is a complete interaction of the employees of the Department and the Society on all issues. Jointly organize various activities — exhibitions, festivals hunter. Russian actions present a United front — Vologda oblast. Interns at the dog and prepare the trophy case regardless of “affiliation”. Unfortunately all the hunters of the region, June 24, left his post as head of the Department — Kirillov Sergey. I bow to him for the establishment of business relations between the Department and hunters, integrity, honesty and openness. Anxiously waiting for the new.
— What are Your relations with the Central Board Rosohotrybolovsouz-Union?
— Normal, working. As You saw, our President, Aramileva T. S., came to us for a conference. All delegates liked her performance. Although we have at work sometimes there are problems, but as people interested in the success of our common cause, to a common denominator.
— What problems, in Your opinion, hinder the development of hunting economy in Russia and the region in particular?
— Protection of hunting grounds. The main problems — the lack of staff hunters, the elimination of the Institute of public Rangers and community Rangers. Introduced by the law on hunting production inspectors do not solve the problem: first, not all users have the consultations the Belarusian delegation agreement (and only they give the right to claim the functions of the production of hunting control), and secondly, upon receipt of such law functions is still minimal, truncated. We have 80 percent of users have a long-term license, and, as a consequence, the right to production of hunting control are not. For Oooir of 164 regular staff, only four Rangers have such a right.
The destruction of wolves — the chaos and insanity. In fact, prohibited all methods of hunting, besides the gun. Outside the hunting season the prey of wolf the bulk of hunters is not available. You need to make changes in the Rules of the hunt, declaring the wolf outside the law, to allow year-round production by all available means, including the use of poisons, increase the size of the premium to issue permits for ungulates.
In our area in this five-year period were also problems on the topic. The fact that in September 2012 was adopted the Law “On the procedure for issuing permits…”. It concerned only the public hunting lands. Before reserving 20 per cent limit for moose and wild boar for the promotion of molchalnikov. The regional Prosecutor’s office, seeing the corruption-factor, has demanded to exclude from the draft law the norm. Excluded. The result was not long in coming, if the average per year was extracted 200-250 wolves in 2014 was failure, production was 130 wolves! The public was alarmed, as the main incentive for Volchenkov was just permission for ungulates, not premium. It took almost two years of joint effort, the law was returned to the norm on the promotion hunters molchalnikov. The result was not long in coming — in 2015 it was produced 242 wolf!
In 2016, the result will be much higher, I think 300-350 wolves. I have already mentioned the increased activity of hotcollection, and so were the scenes when propped flags with wolves of the evening, in the morning room was going more than 60 hunters! From the beginning of 2016 in some areas, killed more than 40 wolves! People at their own expense to buy boxes, go to neighbouring areas to experienced teams for training, coming up with new ways of production of wolves (for example, by using a dog GPS).
Prize for the wolves we have in the following sizes: the cub — 2750 RUB, the wolf-male — 3500 RUB., wolf — 4000 RUB. But from 1 January 2016, the payment of premiums is suspended in connection with the budget savings. On the backdrop of an impending on the area of the epizootic of rabies (recorded 8 occasions) — not the most sensible solution.
The imperfection of the Rules of hunting. In addition to changing the context of the destruction of wolves it is necessary to revise the duration of the spring hunt to 16 days, to return time hunting elk to January 15 bear until February 28, return order year-round use areas and nagonki nataski dogs, review anecdotal in terms of hunting for fur-bearing animals (mink, squirrel, marten — the third Saturday of August, etc.)
The training of young hunters. Granting the right to hunt. Many welcomed representatives of the new generation of “hunters” who do not know the timing of hunting, hunting animal species and their biology, hunting seasons, elementary safety rules. The older generation that has passed through the probationary period, the recommendation of two experienced hunters, the exam on hunting minimum with amazement looks at those “clean shoot”. All this became possible in the 90-ies, was canceled when the first probationary period, and with the release of “hunting Law…” and article 21 which specifies that to obtain a state hunting license is enough to get acquainted with the requirements of the hunting minimum and a right to hunt in your pocket, for the purchase of weapons too. It — trouble. The elementary truth, that means high risk can benefit people who have received appropriate training and passed the exam — forgotten. Forgotten and common sense, because after the entry into force of the “Law on hunting…” the member hunting tickets lost the status of the document giving the right to hunt. The new “hunters” are derived from public control, they cannot say for the violation, to invite to a friendly disciplinary Commission and put on a good “bath”.
By the way, “baths” was more afraid of the fine. All this in the past, liberalization and democracy! Trying to bring beginners up to elementary truth, we have the Cherepovets district office duplicated a memo in the amount of 1000 copies and distributed free of charge to beginners for the issuance of permits.
In 2013, the Public Council at Kottapatnam region discussed and then addressed in Legislative Assembly of region with the request to act with the legislative initiative about modification of article 21 of the “Law on hunting…”. The legislature supported us. In April 2014 at a meeting of the parliamentary Association of the Northwest Federal district in the city of Murmansk, these issues were already supported by the parliamentarians of the North-West Federal District. The state Duma has taken the initiative for consideration. A Commission was established, which included T. S. Aramilev, Roman Zavarin — the Deputy of legislative Assembly of the Vologda region, and other influential people. Discuss, clarify wording, everything went fine, we waited. And suddenly — the refusal, without explanation. Before all this diploma called in one word — sabotage, I still can not find another.
Problem 2017. 1 July 2017 may be a “black day” for hunters of Russia. Explain. According to article 10 clause 33 of the Law “About hunting…” for each region can be set to limit the size of the area of hunting. In five years, after approval by the Government of the Russian Federation the rate of the fee per hectare hunting grounds (article 71 item 9), to the enterprises of the area which exceed the limit must conclude consultations the Belarusian delegation agreement, payment of the fee. We have such farms — 6. We need to pay more than 10 million rubles. When our income is 25-30% of annual income. We know that preparing the theme of the VNIIOZ under contract with the MNR Kottapatnam. We know the performers personally. Know that they are made in the process of preparing the report. Very interesting how they determined the “outside”? God will judge them. If you include the logic, it is clear that around the capital cities and Metropolitan areas are the “limits” needed. And we have the Vologda region, where 8.3 million hectares or 61% of useless territory, why are these “limits”? And how do You Arkhangelsk oblast, Komi Republic, Karelia, why there? On the contrary, you need to give more space to, nobody to ask. And this national approach? Public policy? It’s something else.
The matter is complicated by the fact that the constitutional Court in its decision of 25 June 2015, 17 P obliged the Legislator (the state Duma) to clarify article 71 paragraph 5 of the “Law on hunting”, i.e. declared a moratorium. And the Legislator resigned. The next one will be in the fall. Whether it comes from a new Legislator in time to the hands? I very much doubt. Kottapatnam MNR and CPU Rosohotrybolovsouz need to jump out of his pants, but is urgent to solve the problem. In less than a year — or again fit in the man-made crisis.
— Everything You said about the issues within the competence of Kordamentha MPR?
— Of course. Day 27 may 2015, when fired Berseneva, was a feast for all the hunters of Russia from Chukotka to Kaliningrad. Hope from S. N. Budilina measures to overcome the legacy of previous management. While you’re waiting.
