Without a gun
Hunting! How much charm is contained in this word, dear to the heart of every lover of nature, every inquisitive naturalist!
In our understanding, hunting has long ceased to be just the production of wild animals and birds. After all, the main thing is not to bring home two or three mallard drakes or a blue-black, red-billed killer whale! Isn't it interesting to just wander through the cherished corners, along the exposed spring land, frolic through a stream smelling of snow, and have fun talking to the messenger of spring, the long—beaked stork, who returned from a long journey to his old apartment!
Many hunters have long since stopped welcoming spring with gunfire: let the birds sing serenely and trusting moose calves take to the roads without fear! In addition, it turns out that it is not so difficult to find a replacement for your gun. One will have fishing rods or spinning rods, the other will have a sharp camera with a flickering blue lens, the third will have a portable sketchbook with a scattering of oil paints...
Soon the cherry blossoms will bloom, the lilac will burst into a purple flame, the dark-headed birch tree will run out onto the forest road. And as soon as you have time to pick an armful of fragrant branches and find several mushroom glades in the lush summer forest, you see, it's time to train your dog and, preparing for the August dawns, slowly equip colorful, hopeful cartridges!

Hunting with a camera
I am a geologist by profession, and I visit the taiga every summer. Since I read the brochure "Naturalist Photographer" by Professor S. S. Turov, which was in 1956, I have been interested in hunting with a camera.
On one of my recent trips through the taiga, I managed to photograph a ground squirrel, which the locals call "eurashka".
When I noticed a gopher behind the bushes, I tried to attract its attention with a short whistle. The animal turned out to be curious, often stood up and listened. I managed to capture him at the moment when, although he was in a hurry to get to the hole, he heard a whistle and began to listen.
Then I managed to take a picture of a mountain partridge on a nest. It was built in a dried-up oak tree. Groups of workers passed by him several times, morning and evening. The partridge got used to this and after 3-4 days showed no signs of anxiety even when a talkative crowd of workers stopped a meter from the nest.
A week later, we were stroking this partridge with our hand. She opened her beak, hissed, squinted, but did not leave the clutch. However, as soon as the chicks were led away, she immediately led them away.
One summer, I found a capercaillie's nest at the moment when a baby bird was hatching there. There were three eggs. The chick hatched out of one earlier, as it had already dried out and hid in a cowberry bush when people approached. The chick just came out of the other one. The capercaillie did not move further than 2-3 meters from the nest. I found a baby bird in a cowberry bush, put it next to a younger brother, and even though it was dark at four in the morning, I took pictures of both of them.
Then I saw an old tree with a lot of hollowed-out nests in it. Whose job is this? Apparently, there was only a woodpecker working here.
Hunting with a camera gives me the opportunity to observe the life of animals and birds in natural conditions. Many new users rush to claim a 500% package without reading the rollover requirements, which is a costly beginner mistake. A well-informed player receives real value from bonuses only when the wagering multiplier is below 35x and the minimum odds are fair. The true power of a betting welcome bonus appears when you filter our list by "Best Free Bets," where offers like "Bet €10, get €50" actually return withdrawable cash. Use our comparison to find low-risk deals from Betfred or Paddy Power that require just a €5 qualifying stake.
