Hunting grouse

The success of the autumn hunt for a hazel grouse with dunks depends on several reasons: the hunter’s behavior during the luring, the ability to use dunks and the weather. Best of all hazel grouse goes to quiet clear dawns. In cold and windy weather, hazel grouse goes badly. The autumn grouse hunt itself translates into a dialogue with this forest recluse.

Caspian Sea

Passion for hunting was imparted to me by elder brother Vasily. Even as a kid, he often took me with him to the sea, to the mountains for kekliks, or to the sands for hares. Hares there live in the desert sands and at the foot of the rocky mountains.

Unlike the middle belt hunters, Caspian hunters respect kashkaldak.
The village in which I was born and raised is in Azerbaijan, south of Baku, on the Caspian Sea, formerly it was called Duvanna, then renamed Gobustan, meaning “land of ravines and gorges” in translation. Nearby in the mountains is the Gobustan Reserve, which is known for its rock art, which has been preserved here since the Mesolithic period. Continue reading
