Hunting for marten

On the Russian territory there are two kinds of martens: stone and forest. Forest marten has small dimensions, slender, flexible body, short legs, fluffy tail, short wide muzzle. The color is dark brown and brownish-pale yellow. Stone marten is more light, and on the throat it has a white spot. These animals represent value because of their fur. Hunting for marten is described in many sources in sufficient detail.

Unlike the sable, the marten's way of life is semi-timber. In the trees, she feeds, traces the trail on the daytime, makes reserves and so on. In the autumn on the paths and forest clearings you can often see the litter of marten, it is several times larger than the squirrel, often colored in different colors, depending on what the predator feeds on.

The main favorite habitats of forest martens are dark littered spruce forests, where there is an admixture of pine. Unlike other predators, marten is the inhabitant of the upper tier of the forest, she prefers to live in the crowns of trees, and there she also hunts. However, it moves freely along the ground, where it runs from one tree to another. Kunitsa is a smart and dexterous animal, and her body penetrates without difficulty into the crevices between the trees, into the narrow holes of the hollows. The animal is perfectly developed all the senses, so hunting for marten can be a certain complexity.

In winter, the marten has a brownish-smoky fur color, the back is noticeably darker than the abdomen. In summer and early autumn, the animal's fur is much darker, while it is shorter and less fluffy than in winter. The size of the male is much larger than the females, while the females are slightly milder and softer.

Hunting for marten

Among hunter-lovers in the last decade, the use of hawks for hunting has become more popular. Forest marten has now become the object of not only commercial hunting, but also sporting. The success of hunting with a husky strongly depends on the ability of the dog. This can only dogs with experience. If the husky attacks a fresh morning trace, she independently finds the mink of the animal and bows it up before the hunter comes. The dog can be effectively used for hunting in low-nutrition years, when the marten hunts before dawn. At this time, there is a much higher probability of meeting a fresh trail, or you can even catch a beast in the process of feeding.

Kunitsa gets into squirrel fucking for a day in the first half of winter, when the snow is not yet hard, she can rest in the hollow of a tree, or simply in the crown. The task of the hunter is to drive her out of the shelter. This can be done in many ways, including using a long rod or other device.

Often the marten is so tightly hidden in the hollow that it can not be kicked out. In this case, the hunter must cut the tree. It is necessary to pre-plug the entrance to the hollow with the help of a pole top or thin branches. When the snow is chilling, in the second half of winter, the animals arrange a shelter on the ground. They take shelter under a turn, in voids under crowns, under a windbreak hidden under snow, in hollows of fallen trees, under heaps of brushwood. At this time, hunting for marten is urgent . They can be placed at a certain distance from the alleged resting places of the animals.

Most often it is necessary to drive out the martens from the dam. In this case, the hunter tramples the snow around the dam so that the beast does not go unnoticed. It often happens that in a short winter day, the dog does not manage to catch up with the animal. The hunters noticed that in the case when the marten is removed far from its habitat, it returns to its grounds during the night. The next day, it is worth looking for martens not in places where there is a trace of it, but where the animal was first discovered.

Now you have some idea of how the marten hunting is carried out.
