How do we hunt ducks in Ukraine

The hunting season for ducks is August – December. We hunt ducks on the lakes where they stay and eat. Our crew (2-3 people) come to the lake with dogs and rise the ducks (make them fly). Guest stands on the dam and shoots ducks. Or you can shoot the ducks that fly across the lake, because there are so many of them.
The best time for hunting is from sunrise till about 9 am. Later it’s not good because it gets very hot. Night hunting when the bird returns for the night (sunset and dusk). It is at this time that you can get the most ducks.
Unlike Saudi Arabia, duck hunting in Ukraine has a lot of action. The hunter must always be ready to shoot. It’s literally 2 seconds when you either hit the duck, or missed it. We do not hide, we do not hunt from behind, we do not wait for hours for the duck to fly over, but all the duck that rises up and flies over the hunter, we shoot. Later the dog jumps into the water and brings the duck.
Most of the ducks we have, stay in Ukraine. They don’t go to other countries in winter time. But we also have migratory ducks you can hunt. It is possible in October, when it starts to be very cold in Russia and ducks fly through Ukraine. You can hunt migratory ducks with us. We use duck hunting decoys for that.
Ducks, like other birds we hunt, can be prepared for you in our restaurant. It is very tasty!

Hunting pheasant in Ukraine

We hunt pheasants from August till December. Pheasant is not a migratory bird. It is able to fly no more than 600 m.
At the beginning of the hunting season, in mid-August, it is mostly a young bird whose tail has not yet grown. Hunting area is a field where tall plants and grasses grow. Two dog starters are ahead. If it’s hot weather, the pheasant is in the bushes (in the shade). The dog hears a pheasant and lifts it into the air. The hunter must be attentive and always ready to shoot in time. Even if the attempt fails, the pheasant does not fly far. See where he landed and finish him off.
Pheasant is best hunted in the morning (from sunrise to 9-10am). When there is a dew the dog can smell where there is a bird.
We can cook pheasant for you in our restaurant: grill or soup.

How do we hunt quails in Ukraine

Hunting begins in the morning, around 6 am. You come, our representative gives instruction, you get a weapon, a man with a dog is waiting. The area where we hunt is an open field where sunflowers and other tall plants grow. Quails sit there. In the center of the field is placed a special repeater with speakers, which constantly broadcasts the voices of quails to attract birds.
Hunter with our assistant bypass the field, constantly reducing the radius. The dog runs ahead, picks up the bird. There is a lot of action here. You have literally 2 seconds to shoot. Comparing to Saudi Arabia, you do not see the bird sitting, and the quail does not see you. And you can shoot it only when the bird takes off. Hunters like it very much. You always have to be careful and ready to shoot.
For an hour you can get 20-30 quails.
Quails we can cook for you in our restaurant.
