We shoot the game "on a ruler. Shooting Shot Game

What was considered in ancient times not only the norm, but also skill, a sign of intelligence (for example, taking prey from a more successful hunter) is now completely unacceptable. Nowadays, a good hunter is one who knows how not only to return home with a trophy, but also leads the hunt, observing hunting etiquette. If you adhere to these rules, then you will be happy to be invited to hunt next time. After all, it is the hunter's observance of good traditions, which have been formed over the centuries, that distinguishes him from a poacher and a grabber.

Hunting rules.

The most important rule of the hunt is as follows: every animal requires respect. It must be understood that a real hunter should not, entering the forest, shoot at everything that moves. Here are some unspoken rules that every hunter who considers himself a normal, civilized person must follow.

1. Do not shoot animals and birds in trouble. For example, river floods, ice, prickly snow crust, fires and lack of food, as well as, during a drought, when animals gather at a water source. At this moment, at the watering hole, they are most vulnerable to shots.

2. You cannot shoot at birds and animals that cannot fly or run at this moment for various reasons. For example, for queens that are trying to ward off danger from the brood, for females in the spring. You cannot shoot "infantrymen" - running birds (black grouse, pheasants, partridges, etc.) And, of course, at those species of birds and animals, hunting for which is generally prohibited or closed during this period of time.

3. The hunter must remember that it is worth shooting only if you are sure that it will be possible to get the prey. This is especially true for waterfowl. You must choose such a place for shooting so that the shot game does not fall into hard-to-reach places. A wounded animal or bird must be picked up, even if it will be to the detriment of your possible trophies.

4. The hunter must be accurate, not make mistakes, thereby crippling the game. A wounded hunter is the marriage of a careless hunter. Those who have to eliminate such mistakes should try to inflict as little suffering on the game as possible. Therefore, hunters need constant training at the stand.

5. You cannot shoot, without aiming, at a flying flock of birds, as well as at an animal that is at a distance from you, exceeding the lethal force of your weapon. In addition to the senselessness of such shots, there is a great likelihood of injuring the game, which later dies.

6. Remember that when hunting ungulates, you cannot shoot a female, since after her death, her children will also die.

7. Game, which has become a trophy, also requires respect. The hunter must wash and clean it and put it in a backpack while still in the field. Boasting about his successful hunt, showing the animals and birds he has caught, a cultured hunter will not throw their carcasses on display.

8. The "correct" hunter never uses the word "killed". In the hunting environment, it is customary to say "took", "got", "took off". The hunters congratulate each other not with their prey, but with a successful hunt. To say that the hounds have gone far and are not heard, hunters use the expressions "get off the ears" and "into the wind."

The correct hunter is a well-mannered hunter.

Like any other etiquette, hunting rules are not spelled out in the legislation. These are just generally accepted rules of behavior, morality and values, the cultural level of a person. We all live in a society, and therefore must adhere to an unwritten code, otherwise chaos will come very soon. The ethics of the hunter prescribes not only to know and follow the rules of hunting, but also not to allow others to violate them. A real hunter must fight poachers, be polite with his hunting companions. The principles that every self-respecting hunter should adhere to are not difficult. In our multinational country, vast in territory, hunting customs and traditions are diverse, therefore it is difficult to classify. In our article we will introduce you to some of them. As a rule, these customs are part of the cultural heritage and carry not only a social, but also a moral and educational function.

1. The very first thing is to comply with the hunting rules prescribed in the legislation.

2. During periods of active hunting, a large number of hunters gather at a certain place. It should be remembered that the right to choose a hunting or resting place depends on the time of arrival at the hunting place, but one must also take into account such a moment as the distance at which the teams should be so as not to interfere with each other.

3. It is considered shameful to shoot a chasing animal from under someone else's dog. If it so happened that you shot the animal from under someone else's dog, then you must give the prey to the owner of the dog, and he must give you an equipped cartridge, that is, compensate for the spent charge. In general, if the team has several hunters and one gun dog, it is better to agree in advance about the sequence of shots. If the bird flew to the right or left of the owner of the dog, the priority of the shot belongs to the hunter walking to the right or left, respectively.

4. Do not walk or stand near someone else's "skradka" or someone else's hut. Thus, you interfere not only with the flight of the game, but also the hunter.

5. In a round-up hunt, when a chasing animal approaches the line of shooters, it is incorrect to shoot at it from a long distance, seeing that the game is going to the next room.

6. If we talk about unauthorized fishing, a well-mannered hunter will never use someone else's trap or trap. Only if a caught animal is found in them, will he shoot it and hide it from predators, but will not appropriate someone else's prey.

7. The prey (large animal or hoofed animal) belongs to the hunter who fired the shot, which laid the animal down. Small game is considered to be caught by the hunter who shot and interrupted the flight or run of the game.

8. It is not customary to argue about who owns the trophy.

9. In the North of Russia there is a wonderful custom - a hunting hut is never locked, and there is always a supply of firewood, matches, salt, crackers in it in case people in trouble come to these places. If you find yourself in such a hut and you have the opportunity, be sure to take care of restocking the stocks you spent.

10. Disputes with the head of the hunt are categorically unacceptable. Showing respect, the hunters, greeting him, raise their headdress.

11. There is another interesting custom, when a hunter who has shot a wolf, fox, lynx or other large animals, the leader inserts a small twig into the headdress, and the rest of the hunters congratulate the lucky shooter.

12. When numbers are assigned, the best of them go to the honorary members of the hunter society. Elderly hunters who find it difficult to travel long distances are given numbers that are closest to the transport on which the hunters arrived.

13. Each hunter must bear moral responsibility for the beast, which he wounded, but did not finish off. Therefore, shooting at a distance "outside the shot" is considered incorrect. The one who made such a shot is obliged in an hour or two, together with the hunter who knows the area well, to go to the "finish" of the wounded animal.

14. When hunting, there should be no unnecessary shooting and shouts, in other words, any noise. If it becomes necessary to shoot a gun or in shooting training, this should be done not while hunting, but in places provided for by safety regulations.

15. The use of alcoholic beverages during the hunt and before it is excluded. A poorly self-controlled person is dangerous, and with a gun it is doubly dangerous. When it comes to hunting accidents, ninety percent of them are alcohol-related. Therefore, it is better to celebrate the hunt later, leaving the weapon in another place.

16. When hunting, there is a certain signal that hunters give in case of danger. Such a signal is shots following one after another, and after the first one, three seconds later, a doublet is given, and after another three seconds - a single shot.

17. If hunters meet on the trail, they greet each other, while opening the barrels of their guns. And they keep them open throughout the conversation, if any. In addition, it is considered good form in this case to present hunting tickets to each other.

18. If you hunt from a boat together, it is unlikely that your prey will be equal. It is customary to put the whole trophy in one pile and divide everything in half.

19. Treat nature with care. Before starting a fire, remove the sod, and after extinguishing it, put the removed sod in place. If there is garbage that cannot be burned, it must be buried or taken with you.

And in conclusion, I would like to emphasize once again that the rules are simple and easy to follow. The world of hunters is a masculine world that has a sense of community, respect and trust. You just need to follow simple rules so as not to violate the harmony of this world.
