Hunting for a wolf and its varieties

Attitude to the wolf at different times, too, was different. He was considered both a pest and a medic of the forest. However, this big beast always aroused man's fears. Unlike other animals, hunting for wolves has never been banned. The beasts were always destroyed, and in the year when their numbers were too high, the extermination was carried out at the state level using large raids. As a rule, the most favorable season for hunting is winter, when wolves become thicker and shiny. Hunting for a wolf is complicated by the fact that this animal is unusually hardy and at the same time afraid of man, therefore it is very cautious. However, this does not prevent people from coming from hunting with prey. So it was at all times. With the advent of firearms, the development of technology has changed a lot, but traditional methods of hunting wolves are fundamentally unchanged, although in each region their methods are used.

At a time when the number of predators was very large, the raids and the use of red flags were popular. However, the color can be anything - the beast does not distinguish colors. The fact is that the scent of the fabric is a human smell, they disrupt the familiar picture of the winter forest, and therefore the cautious wolf will never run in their direction, foreseeing the danger. Hunting for a wolf with flags begins with the laying of a carrion near a wolf's lair. Such a privat is able to keep predators in one place, to lull their vigilance. Hijackers scream and shout scare the full pack, forcing it to flee. At the same time there are beaters from the rear, flags on each side. Therefore, wolves can run only in one direction - towards the shooters. The raids were spread everywhere.

One of the oldest ways is hunting a wolf with dogs. Moreover, used in such an occupation, either husks, or greyhounds. Each of the subspecies has its own characteristics. In the past, greyhounds were specially trained for wolves, so that during the hunt the dog could engage in a battle with a predator and win. Nowadays everything happens a little wrong. A pack of dogs must smash a flock, drive predators to hunters, without entering into battle with them, but only by holding them, leading them to the distance of the shot. This type of hunting is used by many athletes throughout Russia.

The role of hawks in hunting is different - they must choke wolf cubs and fight with weaker youngsters, after hunters expel an adult generation from burrow.

The hunt of the golden eagle was considered an amusement of the aristocracy. Now such a wolf hunt is widespread in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan. A trained bird sees a wolf from a long distance. She rushes to him and starts clawing at the head and back of the predator. It only remains for the hunters to finish off the wounded beast.

Do not cause any special difficulties for connoisseurs hunting for wolves using traps. But, of course, it has its own characteristics. First, the trap must be thoroughly processed before use, free from the smell of metal, factory grease, human hands. To do this, you do not just need to wash it, but it is also better to boil it or insist with coniferous branches or steppe grasses. And secondly, it must be carefully masked, so that the cautious animal does not notice the dirty trick. After all, a cautious beast can easily smell foreign odors and notice other people's tracks.
