Hunting for elk

Losi are rightly considered to be the largest representatives of their family. Their height reaches two meters, and the length - up to three, with a mass of about a semitone. These animals have excellent hearing, usually after hearing suspicious sounds, they stop and stare at this side for a long time. At the same time, vision and smell of the sucked are weak. Probably, this is the result of a permanent presence in the forest, where, as a rule, vision hardly develops.

Hunting for an elk is carried out only with the permission of the appropriate authorities - a license. The reasons for hunting these animals are two: a large amount of meat and a trophy.

It happens that hunting for elk lasts for years: this is how much the hunter tracks down such an elk, which would break all records on the length of horns and weight. The trophy, namely the head of an elk, is specially processed and hung on the wall, then to be proud of its prey.

Hunting for moose is not a serene pastime. Going to this kind of catching the beast, you need to be aware of a lot of nuances. For example, that the best place for hunting will be that area in which there are many lands. Or that in places where the moose is large enough, it is possible to conduct round-ups without preparing beforehand with a salary.

Locate the elk in its tracks. In doing so, you need to know that often alongside the elk there is also a boar, so you need to be able to distinguish their traces. At the time of the hunter, the hunter must move along the paths and glades, so as not to unintentionally frighten the beast with unfamiliar noise.

In winter, hunting for moose depends more on the skill of the tracer. At this time of year the herd, as a rule, because of the great depth of snow and frosts, moves for long distances. It is sometimes a week near some marsh or shrub in a relatively small area. At this time, it is necessary to take into account not only the route of the animals, but also all types of tracks and the direction from which the wind is blowing. You can not place hunters in such a way that the wind blows from them, you can not drive a herd to the wind. As a rule, the gong is held in the "half-wind".

Popular among amateurs is hunting for elk from the approach. Usually it is practiced on a powder - in winter. If there is no snow, then you need to be very careful, since it is very easy to lose a matched beast on a blackstone.

Hunting from the approach is allowed only at a time when the males have not yet dropped their horns. With the first snow, because later there is a chance that a female will be shot instead of a male.

Such hunting for moose is usually carried out either by two or three of us, and if there are more participants in it, then it can be considered already a rape, or as it is called in another way - with a pen.

Hunting for an elk begins with finding places of constant feeding of the elk, where among the tracks an experienced hunter finds the imprints of an old male, who is immediately searched. Sometimes it takes a day or two, sometimes even more, because you have to overcome more than a dozen kilometers on skis.

As a rule, moose rarely allow hunters to come to their home, so if a herd senses the approach of any danger or an extraneous rustle, then it starts running back on the trail. This is where it comes across the third hunter.

No less popular and hunting for moose on a roar. It begins with the beginning of the mating season of the beast, ie. In late summer - early September.

Hunting with a roar usually lasts about two to three weeks, most often in the morning or evening. Its meaning lies in the fact that during this period the elk fought to defend their possessions, seeking the attention of the female, who lives on this site. And if you simulate the roar of another's male, the moose will immediately rush into the attack. And this will be the most successful moment for a shot at defeat. Although it is not very easy to repeat the moose's voice, because He has a very quiet call resembling a groan.

We must always remember that any hunting, including hunting for moose, is not only a level of preparation and skill, but also luck.
