Russian hunts in Central Russia for the Dagestan tur, European elk, wild boar, wolf,
Russian brown bear, the cock of the wood and black grouse.
Caucasian
tur. Now it is considered that there are 2 tur subspecies
in the Caucasus: Caucasian tur or West-Caucasian tur
(Ñ. caucasica) and the Dagestan or East-Caucasian
tur (Ñ. cylindricornis). Both species are large
goats with the body length of 120-180 cm, height of 78-112
cm, male weight is up to 155 kg (usual1y of 20-140 kg).
Their colour is reddish-grey, but the Dagestan tur usually
has a well-marked dark "belt" on its back which
the Caucasian tur does not have or which is not so noticeable;
These goats differ considerably in the structure of horns:
the Caucasian tur's horns are arched and their tops are
directed downwards and inside... (find

European
brown bear. Bear hunting "at oats" has a centuries-old
tradition and has been practised till now. In the end of
summer and in the early autumn on the fields of the European
part of Russia oats ripen and bears, and as well as wild
boars, do not miss an opportunity to regale themselves on
sweet grains. For the purposes of hunting at a roadside
of such oat fields a "corn chandler's shop" is
built (as a rule, it is the closed cabin made from boards,
with one or two windows and which is set between trees at
a height of 3-6 meters for placing one person or two people)...

Wild boar. It is considered that the wild boar stands
apart other ungulate animals of the Russian fauna both by
its habit of life and aggressive character. This animal
is included as the third or the second number in the symbolical
"the great three" trophy animals of Russia, i.e.
a bear, an elk, a wild boar... (find out more

European elk. The elk as the object of hunting is
extremely interesting, and first of all because it is the
largest representative of deer who live nowadays on the
Earth. Though it is a deer according to all systematic characteristics
it differs significantly from the usual appearance of the
deer. The elk is quite widespread, at present its natural
habitat in the Old and New World is so big that it does
not go in any comparison with the natural habitat of other
deer. The elk which lives in Eurasia and the one in American
continent belong to the species of Alces alces, and there
are seven subspecies... (find out more

Wolf hunting.
Wolf hunting requires preliminary observation for a long
time. Hunters circle wolves after their finding with flags.
As a rule, wolves do not run outside their limits and when
beaters raise them, go along the flag and face on hunters-
shooters.
Cock of the wood and black grouse.
Perhaps there isn't a bird about which there are so many
rumours and legends, as about the Cock of the wood. Partly
these rumours have grounds. During mating strong cocks can
attack foxes, wolves, and... even people, putting them to
flight. "The highest mind" won't leave without
wounds and bruises. Films are made about all that. Weight
of cocks usually varies within 3.5 - 7 kg., and the last
weight can already be considered as great luck. Black-billed
capercaillie. It is a Far East species. It is smaller, (except
for a tail) more slender and... it is not deaf at all so
hunting for it in a traditional spring way loses its sense.
Cocks loftily and sedately walk before each other and...
do not go into action. The biggest cock got in this region
weighed 7kg.
