The Crimea enchanted the runners of wood; Bakchissaray becomes our best relatively close destination woodcocks. With the doors of L ’ Europe, to drive out the woodcock in front of oneself with its dog D ’ stop becomes a privilege. The Anglo-Saxons continue to harden the formalities at their border; to north, Russia still does not manage to validate its territories with very diffuse birds and a hazardous logistics. Bulgaria sees itself more and more forsaken by one too short season. Only the Crimea offers a regular axis of migration and an unusual density D ’ wintering birds jusqu ’ to the first snows. The youthful woodcocks arrive as of the end-October. At the beginning of December signs L ’ arrived brutal of the cold and the departure of the birds towards the south. Baktchissaray is snuffed because considered by the informed bécassiers as the best destination currently … for which knows the ruser!

Modes of hunting, game and seasons

Almost L ’ together of the come hunters last season raised many woodcocks. The most important movements were recorded at the end of October and at the end of November. The number of liftings varied few birds with more D ’ forty birds in the same day, which is rather exceptional. The results were variable according to the number of traversed kilometers, the more or less high performance level of the dogs and the dexterity of the hunters. The statistics specify overall that at 4 birds seen, 2 are shot and only less than 1 bird is collected. To drive out with its own dog D ’ stop is a true pleasure.

Only the woodcock is driven out with an authorized maximum taking away (LDC) of 10 birds by hunter and day of great migration. C ’ is exceptional and only some hunters that point reaches each year have regard with the number of favorable parameters to gather. But why not you? L ’ export of woodcocks N ’ is limited but is not subjected to formalities veterinary surgeons.
