Terms of hunting for a raccoon dog
In the annual calendar, only one of the months under the ban is February. During the rest of the period, you can hunt representatives of any gender and age. This is mainly due to the race, which is in February before the first thaw. Raccoon dogs can arrange their shelters in rhizomes, under the rubble of fallen trees and even in hollows located near the ground. In terms of weapons, it is recommended to use cartridges with one or two zeros. Due to the thick fatty undercoat, the shot can get stuck without causing harm to the animal.
