Lake Onezhskoye
North from St. Petersburg towards Finland [check the map]. Nature connoisseurs flock there in the summer while the tougher variety prefers winter. "Russian North" permafrost, wood lasts for centuries, mosquitoes the size of a horsefly...

GUESTBOOK

 

Lake Onezhskoye is supposed to be a nature paradise. The only offer I got from there, from the famous Masha Vasilyeva who also has several rooms for rent in St. Petersburg (see Masha's offer on St. Petersburg page my cheap-moscow.com), is to have fun killing fuzzy little critters.  Come enjoy "an amusing possibility to hunt on wild animals", as she puts it in her proposal, reproduced below entirely as received.

 

Extreme tourism, hunting and fishery on the lake Onezhskoye (Onega) that is 4 hours from Saint-Petersburg!  

There are very beautiful landscapes, - I have been there and took pictures, which could be placed on your site to offer services for everyone who wish. The tourists can be provided with comfortable and not very comfortable accommodation, various kinds of hunting and fishery. Those lands are valued on good fish very much. In the forests there are a lot of wild animals, hunting on which is allowed. They provide you with licenses and guns for this if it’s necessary, We have a contract with a forest guard. We can organize parties with national cuisine and Russian entertainment. There is a local folkloric show. And very close there is a famous tourist place Kizhi. Very close to the village Vozneseniye there are several churches of 11th-17th cc., wooden architecture, which are maintained and in very good state. There are drivers who can transfer people on a car or on a van from Petersburg to Vozneseniye. These beautiful places are ecologically clear thanks to its especial microclimate; rich with natural resources places are not explored by tourists yet, though the supply with all necessary life elements is perfectly carried out.

I think we could found a new excellent tourist direction together. If you find those who wish to visit these places and be a guide for them, you will see everything with your own eyes with pleasure, how it can be.

Hunting season is opening!!!

 Hunting on large animals

You have an amusing possibility to hunt on wild animals. Winter: bear, wolf, elk. Summer-autumn: bear, wild boar, elk. Since ancient times a man saw himself as a hunter, and a hunt on a bear was always a real man’s business.

Hunting on a bear

Spring hunting.  From 04.15 to 05.15

This hunting is held in a period when an animal leaves its den. Before hunters arrive, they put a few “special meals” made of meat or fish in a hunting zone. Forest guards constantly check it.  They hunt neither from the corn-chandler's shop that is settled nor farther than 50 meters from ïðèâàä location. A hunter watches over and shoots a bear from a shelter. Value of spring hunting is perfect bear fur.

Autumn hunting. From 08.01 to 10.15

A group of 1-2 hunters is formed. It is held in early morning hours or in the evening in twilights. Hunters usually stay on a field for a long time period about 5-6 hours, until a bear appears. They hunt from a tower. A wounded animal is extremely angry and dangerous, that’s why a hunter should be skillful and cautious.

In winter “on a den” in winter period to 02.28

The best hunting time is January. 3 hunters usually take part in this tour, and a duration continues 3-5 days. A hunter comes to a den found beforehand, a bear is driven out with the help of sticks and dogs. For this hunt they often use smooth-bore guns and rarely carbines, it’s important a bullet to have a big power. An animal is very strong at this period of time. The possibility of a bear prey on a den is higher than on îâñàõ.

Hunting on a wolf 

A more successful hunting season from 01.12 to 04.15

Hunting with little flags

A few days before the hunt beginning forest guards explore the place for a supposing hunt with a purpose to find often visited feeding fields by wolves.

After hunters’ arrival or on a hunting day they make a special field, stretch a line of little flags around the place of animals’ rest. A team leader places hunters on special spot – numbers that form an arrow line on places of a more expecting animal appearance. Hunters enter this field and with slight noise they try to drive an animal in numbers with arrows.

 Have a good hunting!
