Boars are nocturnal animals. Rest they come in the daytime. In addition, boars prefer not to change their habits: they mostly go to the same places for watering and feeding, leaving clearly visible paths behind them.

About catching black grouse
The hunting season starts in August from the third Saturday. In some regions it lasts until the end of December or February. Hunting for black grouse from the approach is to imperceptibly approach the bird, and then shoot it. The black grouse is a fairly cautious species. Therefore, experienced shooters use vegetation as cover. It is necessary to catch the moment when the bird will not look around. It is most convenient to do this when the black grouse is feeding. Therefore, they go fishing in the morning and evening hours. At this time, the game will leave the hole and go in search of food. The hunter first discovers the hole, then sneaks up unnoticed, and then shoots at the frightened bird. Before fishing, it is desirable to conduct reconnaissance. The purpose of this activity is to explore the area. After the hole is found, the shooter needs tocheck if there are grouse there. To do this, inspect the snow near this place. If traces of wings are visible on the ground, it means that the bird has flown away.
Don't get too close to the hole. You need to shoot from a three-meter distance.
What do experts advise?
It is not recommended to focus on only one hole. It may be that the black grouse dug several passages 1-2 m long under the snow. Therefore, it is possible that the bird will fly out in another place. This process looks very impressive: a snow cloud rises, noticing which, you need to shoot offhand. If you had to hunt together, then for safety reasons you should keep a distance of at least 15 m from your partner.
