Wood Pigeons hunting trips in Bulgaria

In the beginning of the season for wood pigeon hunting doesn’t differ from turtledoves as both animals are stalked in the same feeding spots (sunflower fields and harvested agricultural fields).

Hunters have to be at the hunting grounds at 7:00 AM and can hunt there until 11:00 AM. From 11:00 AM to 16:00 PM the birds can be stalked by the watering spots (beside rivers, swamps, overflows etc.) and the places where they rest (damp, sunless forests beside sunflower fields, acacia forests, dried tree trunks or massive singular trees from which the wood pigeon has the possibility to keep watch for any threats). Hunters need to be under the cover of a tree or at the edge of the forest and shoot only birds in flight. The period for this type of wingshooting in Bulgaria starts the beginning of August and ends on the 30th of October.

Wood pigeon hunting with lures:

Wood pigeons can be hunted with lures beginning from the 30th of October until the end of February. The hunting grounds are rice fields, harvested corn and sunflower fields etc. The most important thing about this hunt is observation, based on it we can determine where exactly the birds feed.

Using camouflage netting a hideout is constructed near the edge of the field. 20 to 40 artificial birds and two devices with rotating mock wood pigeons imitating landing birds and luring flocks. Spreading some additional food, found in the field (sunflower seeds, corn etc.), between the lures is recommended because the birds have excellent vision. Additionally a lone, static, wood pigeon is placed on a high place overlooking the field to play the role of a lookout.

Shooting range is 15-30 m.; firing before the bird lands gives the best results. When there is more than one person involved, the hunters are allowed to fire only on command.

Retriever dogs can be used for this type of wingshooting in Bulgaria. The dog must be well disciplined and must be able to stay still inside the hideout because the birds are suspicious when they notice movement. The hunters must stay still while in the hideout as well.

Weapon: Semi-automatic rifles are the preferred choice, but side-by-side or over/under shotguns can also be used. Barrel length should be between 66 and 76 cm and the chokes can be: |, ||, |||. The most commonly used rounds are № 6 ½ and № 7 ½, generally though you can use rounds ranging from № 5 to № 8

Accessories: camouflage netting, 3D camouflages, appropriate clothes that seamlessly blend in with the terrain.

Чакал

(Lepus europeus)

  • № на сачмите - 2/0, 4/0, 6/0, 8/0
  • Разстояние - 35-45 метра

Разпространение на чакала

Чакалът е повсеместно разпространен в Мала Азия, Северна Африка и Югоизточна Европа. В недалечно минало у нас видът се считаше за рядък вид и отстрелът му бе забранен. През последните няколко години се наблюдават значително увеличаване на неговата численост и разширение на ареала му, и в някои райони по отношение на него се налагат ограничителни мерки.

Общи сведения за чакала

В систематично отношение принадлежи към семейство Кучета, като прилича на вълка, но е по-дребен от него. Цветът на козината му е сиво-жълта. По гърба тя е с тъмен оттенък, а отстрани, по врата, по краката и от двете страни на главата е златистожълт. Опашката му е рунтава с жълто-сив цвят и с отделни по-тъмни петна, краят й е черен. На дължина тялото на чакала достига 100-120 сm, а опашката 20-30 сm.

Начин на живот и хранене на чакала

Чакалът ловува предимно нощем. По принцип е всеяден, като се храни с мърша и дребни животни. Изяжда яйцата на гнездящите по земята птици, причинява значителни щети на ловното стопанство, като унищожава зайците, фазаните и яребиците, сърнета, малките на елена-лопатар и др., яде плодове, дини и пъпеши. Чакалът живее поединично. След мръкване вие по особен начин, наподобяващ плач, на което отговарят всички чакали в района.

Размножаване при чакала

Любовният период е през март. Бременността продължава 60-63 дни. Женската ражда 4-5, рядко повече малки в просто устроени дупки в земята.

Стопанско значение на чакала

Чакалът е отнесен към групата на вредния дивеч. Ловува се чрез хайка или примамване с мърша. Кожата му не се цени. Като трофей се оформя главата с челюстите и кожата.
