The permitted period and other features of hunting
The concentration of birds mainly falls on the floodplains of rivers or the outskirts of large reservoirs. During the day, the bird often flies to the fields where it feeds. In the evening, having had enough, he returns back to the pond. The terms of goose hunting in Belarus are as follows:
- from March 13 to May 9;
- from September 18 to December 12.
Thus, hunting is divided into two periods: spring and autumn. In the first case, you can hunt only in the daytime (from 11 to 18 hours) from an ambush. In the fall, you can use a larger number of methods. Also in the daytime. First of all, this is hunting from the approach (entrance). Moreover, in the case of using water vessels, only small vessels without an engine are allowed. Some use hunting birds and dogs instead of weapons. You can hunt from ambush. In both periods, hunting for individuals of any age and gender is allowed.
