The pheasant has long been considered a royal game. This is not surprising: it is incredibly delicious meat, worthy to decorate the refectory tables monarchs.

Types of hunting

In the offseason, when closed shooting all types of game, it's time to think about this amazing "Golden Cockerel", which many farms and farm bred artificially for the needs of fans. It is a particular, a hybrid, a shape obtained by crossing several subspecies.

Pheasant hunting is carried out in many ways: a shelter, with the approach surge and a dog. Beautiful and intelligent fun ... That's what Britain is still characterized by a pheasant hunting. Photos of this game birds, which are very brightly colored, can be found even in school textbooks. In recent years, in our country farms, growers of game birds, it has become very much, so we can say that pronounced her season for shooting there.

On the approach

This type of hunting in our country is considered to be the most common. He goes as follows: a group of shooters, stretched in a line and slowly moving forward, combing the land where production is presumed to be.

The pheasant is a bird, which is close enough allows to approach the person. At its takeoff hunter must shoot, release it by some distance.

With this type of shooting a group of participants cordoned off a small section of scrub where broods live. Other hunters using dogs kicked the victim in the "gun". In this case, if cordon off a large area is a significant part of pheasants may be able to quietly slip out of the environment.

Best hunting for pheasants, as evidenced by reviews, passes early in the morning or at dusk, in the evening. However, in bad weather, when the birds prefer to sit in shelters, in the exit is not necessary.

It should be remembered that the hunting of pheasants in quantitative and territorial terms in our country is strictly limited, so amateurs and professionals need to adhere to existing rules to livestock damage this beautiful bird was not done.

Fishing with the dog

Since the "Golden Cockerel" almost never take off, and then shooting them - work hard enough. The dog that helps a person to be hardy and resistant, well-bred and, most importantly, a trained. Justify themselves such breed as a setter, drathaary, Laika. Suffice dobychliva and pheasant hunting with the Kurzhaar. This dog is resistant to heavy loads, is resistant to cold, defended his harsh hair from dry reeds and thorny shrubs.

This is very important because pheasant hunting - spring or fall - sometimes lasts more than one hour, and takes place not only in the warm season. Drathaary and kurzhaar well overcome any thickets, even lying under a layer of snow. It was there often hide pheasants. Thick bushes are not a barrier to gamble setter who, sensing prey, in spite of obstacles rushes headlong to it.

Hunter's behavior is also of paramount importance. After all, sometimes people lose sight of the dog, who "works" in the grass or in the bushes. The person must be able to correctly determine the location for the dog in the direction of search, based on the area, as well as the experience of the four-legged assistant.

With a husky

Pheasant Hunting has its own characteristics: escape from danger, this game takes off first, "candle", and then flies in a straight line. But this happens very rarely, mostly bird with a sufficiently strong legs, running away, and dodging and choosing secluded places. The female never tries to steal the dog from his litter, and runs away first, leaving the frightened offspring scatter in different directions.

Young pheasants, barking frightened, often sit on trees. And because people can steal up to them close enough. Also pheasant hunting with Laika and other species of bird distracts attention, which means that the fire at this point is pretty easy to her. Four-legged assistant is necessary also to find and bring lined in dense thickets game. In such places without it and find wounded game, a furious pace hiding in the jungle.

First, you need to put husky is not free search: it is necessary to send it in the reeds. It usually is not far from the edge, and the hunter time to move along the thickets, controlling the dog by the rustling or ringing a bell on its collar. When Laika becomes the rack, and the ringing of the bell, and the movement of the reeds, and the rustling stopped.

At this point, the hunters, especially if more than one person, you need to be distributed along the edge of the thicket. One needs to quickly come forward - twenty meters, and the second - the same distance in the opposite direction. The host Huskies in front of the dog, makes her team, and himself, departing from the reeds, increases visibility. The main thing - do not shoot too small distances. This is very important, since the phase of flight may take place just a few meters from the hunter.

Features shooting with huskies

Pheasant Hunting dogs have long presupposes the existence. Some believe that fit any breed, but this is not true. A particular success for the shooting of "The Golden Cockerel" are named Laika. Pheasant Hunting with a husky is very similar to an analog upland bird hunting. It can be made both "uphill" and "with podlaivaniem". "Vzmaterevshie" broods usually stay closer to the seeded nivam. Husky having a hard coat with a dense undercoat, well protected from briars, besides, this dog is very playful. Running to the pheasant, which is located closer than the others, she starts to bark at him. Battered prey that had fallen into the thorns, Laika instantly delivers a host, and a wounded animal will pursue to the end. Catching one husky immediately begins to search for the second phase which is spotted brood even during takeoff.

It should be noted that when the dog picks up young, it is not evident immediately in pursuit, and stopped, listening to the birds flying and landing. It does this in order to make it easier to navigate in search of pheasants flown apart.
