For several months, Ivan Opryshko, an employee of the Lokhvitsky Instrument-making Plant, Poltava region, tracked down the wolves. For several tens of kilometers in the forest and swamps, a young hunter was walking with his days off. Finally, he managed to find a wolf's lair, in which he took four cubs.



Ivan Opryshko's future profession is closely connected with his favorite type of recreation — hunting. He is studying in absentia in the second year of the Faculty of Hunting Studies of the Irkutsk Agricultural Institute.

They prepared thoroughly for the hunt: they inspected personal vehicles (two Pobeda cars, three motorcycles); painted five aluminum boats. Gunpowder and shot were taken. They did not forget to bring containers for salting game, and bags and mattresses for collecting feathers and down. We have stocked up on the necessary hunting documents and vacation certificates. We took 6 decoy ducks with us. A cook and a specialist in salting game were invited. In general, the expedition is solid.



As part of this powerful team of "meat collectors" were: Anatoly Alexandrovich Kiselev, head of the supply department of the Kurgan Meat Processing Plant, Mikhail Nikolaevich Vink, master of the mechanical workshop of the meat processing plant, Anatoly Petrovich Tomilov, head of the labor and salary department of the meat processing plant. the driver of the meat processing plant Ivan Sevosgyanovich Alexandrov and the driver of the Kurgan automobile farm No. 4 Vladimir Grigorievich Zverolovlov.



On September 24, 1961, the brigade arrived at Lake Shushkala, Kostanay region. Virgin land. In the first ten days, A. Kiselyov and his brigade, according to their own calculation, far understated, destroyed 412 ducks, ten times exceeding the rate of shooting in one hunt. Damage was caused to the hunting fund of Kazakhstan in the amount of 1810 rubles.



Thanks to the vigilance of the Kustanai hunting community, the poachers were detained. Predators of natural resources have been sued for compensation for damage caused to the hunting farm.

We take care of the fauna



In our area, in the best lands, rich in lakes and thickets (at the mouth of the Don), a nature reserve has been created for three years. In addition, in the hunting area "Big Forest" hunting is allowed only on shooting lists. We hunters welcome such measures and go hunting in this forest only collectively.



Last year, each hunter worked at least four days in our hunting farm. We build feeders for feeding animals, we import hay. On 20 hectares we organize feeding with millet of partridges in their habitats. Some hunters and students, under the guidance of the director of the Chibisovskaya seven-year school of hunter T. D. Chistyakov, made the simplest nests for wild ducks. We advise all hunters to do this in order to really fight for the further development and enrichment of the fauna. 1win invest https://1winzerkalo.kiev.ua/1win-invest/
