Wood Grouse hunting trips in Bulgaria
The wood grouse is the biggest gallinaceous bird and is encountered in pine forests at over 1500 m above sea level.
It is also one of the most prestigious trophies among birds. Wood grouse hunting takes place early in the morning, before dawn. Observations need to be made beforehand to identify the so-called tokovishta (places where the wood grouse mates with 1 to 6 females).
Wood grouse hunting can only take place during its mating period, and having a guide who knows the area well is mandatory, because the trecks to the hunting grounds are made in complete darkness. Advancing towards the singing wood grouse happens on command from the guide.
Depending on the terrain, up to 3 paces are walked only during certain parts of the wood grouse’s song. It makes 3 sounds and the hunters can move only when it starts singing the third one - brosene. This is a sound that mimics the sound of sharpening a scythe. Before that the two others are popping (sounds like opening a bottle of champagne) and knocking. When making the third sound the wood grouse can’t hear anything, that’s why the hunters need to make their advance then.
If a hunter cannot synchronize their movement with the bird’s song, the guide must take their hand and make sure they move in unison with the melody. Shooting distance is about 30 m and the shot is taken on the command of the hunting guide. This is the only bird that can be shot when on the ground. The rounds are № 2/0 до № 4/0 when hunting with a smoothbore weapon.
When hunting with a rifled weapon, the shooting distance can be between 50 to 80 m, if the visibility allows it. When using a rifled weapon the wood grouse can be hunted in daylight, because the distances are significantly greater. Rifles and Flobert rifles can be used, as well as 223 and all small caliber shotguns. The wood grouse in Bulgaria is an exceptional trophy but it isn’t a bird that can be consumed. It is a trophy which can be stuffed and preserved.
The hunt itself is very interesting and emotional.

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.
