The hunting season for game birds opens in the Nizhny Novgorod Region on August 16.
From August 16, amateur and sport hunting for forest, marsh-meadow, waterfowl and field game opens in Nizhny Novgorod Oblast. This was reported by the regional Ministry of Forestry and Protection of Wildlife.
"Traditionally, the third Saturday of August opens the most popular hunting season — for feathered game. Most of our hunters begin preparations long before the season opens, but the most important condition for a good and safe hunt is to follow safety rules. For hunting to be proper and respectful of the nature of our region, everyone must observe the limits on taking animals. I urge all hunters to take their activity seriously and to protect nature!" said Roman Vorobyov, Minister of Forestry and Protection of Wildlife of Nizhny Novgorod Oblast.
The ministry reported that the hunting season will last through November 30 inclusive for the following species: common dotterel, common snipe, woodcocks, waders, lapwings, ruffs, corncrakes, geese, ducks, coots, grey partridges, common quails, and pigeons. Hunting for capercaillies, black grouse and hazel grouse continues until February 28, 2026.
Within hunting grounds, hunters are required to carry their hunting ticket, a firearms storage and carrying permit, and a permit to take hunting resources; and in the case of hunting in assigned hunting grounds, in addition to these documents they must also have a hunting pass.
"Hunting grounds in Nizhny Novgorod Oblast are under strict control by hunting inspectors. Raid operations are regularly conducted to prevent violations of hunting legislation and to suppress poaching. Presence in hunting grounds requires strict compliance with established rules as well as fire safety requirements," the Ministry of Forestry and Protection of Wildlife of Nizhny Novgorod Oblast noted.
In the case of hunting without the required permits, the violator will be held administratively liable, and for illegal taking of hunting resources administrative or criminal liability is provided under Article 258 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, as well as compensation for damage caused to wildlife by illegal taking.
Residents of Nizhny Novgorod who witness violations of hunting rules by citizens are asked to report them to the around-the-clock environmental dispatch service by phone at: 8 (831) 433-22-11, 8 (800) 200-99-25 or to the phone numbers of the interdistrict departments for protection, control and regulation of hunting resources listed on the Ministry of Forestry’s website in the "Territorial Bodies" section.
