The opening of the autumn hunting season is a real holiday that all hunters are looking forward to. In late summer - early autumn, the exhausting off-season ends, when the animal and bird raised new offspring, and a fertile time comes when you can wander through the forest with a gun. At this time, the hunter has a wide choice: hunting for a feather is interspersed with hunting for an animal. Fans of this activity, longing for the spring and summer for communication, are not averse to celebrating the opening of the hunt in the fall during a mass trip to protected places.
Instructions
Step 1
There are about 3.5 million registered people in Russia with hunting tickets, and there are over 20 million amateur fishermen. The number of people willing to hunt birds, animals and fish is quite large. Therefore, the deputies of the State Duma initiated an appeal to the President of the Russian Federation on the establishment of a new holiday - the Day of the Hunter and Fisherman. It is proposed to celebrate it on the opening days of the autumn hunting season - on the second Sunday in September. If the initiative is supported, from 2012 this holiday will be considered All-Russian. You can start preparing for the opening of the season, focusing on this date.
Step 2
The opening of the hunting season in autumn has its own long historical tradition. The ancient folk holiday of kennel hunters in Russia was timed to coincide with Semyonov Day, September 14. On this day, hunting for hares began in the outgoing fields. There was a belief that horses on this day cease to be afraid, dogs take the trail well, and a successful first seed promises a lot of prey in winter. But regardless of whether the opening of the autumn season is recognized as an official holiday, lovers of this activity will still celebrate it annually. Those who do not like lush festivities can gather in places where hunting is officially announced. In the evening, before the day when hunting is open, sit in a large company at the table, chat and play the famous hunting bikes. It is better not to drink alcohol - after all, in the morning you will need to open the season with a gun.
Step 3
In those places where this holiday has long been celebrated splendidly, the "Society of Hunters and Fishermen" usually undertakes to organize and conduct it. In such events, hunters participate in teams. It is necessary to notify the organizers about this in advance and submit an application. Traditionally, the opening of the season begins with a speech by the Chairman of the Society, who introduces the participants to the conditions and rules of hunting in the opening season. They can change from year to year. He can also read out the program of the holiday and open it officially.
Step 4
These are events in which not only hunters and fishermen take part, but also their family members, an excellent occasion for various fun contests and competitions. This can include holding a hunting relay race, trap shooting competitions, and sport fishing. Children can take part in air rifle target shooting.
