Notes of a gun hunter of the Orenburg province

“Notes of a gun hunter of the Orenburg province” are devoted to four types of hunting - for forest, steppe, water and swamp game. The book pays much attention to the description of models and structures of guns, as well as the types of cartridges used. In addition, the author, using his rich own experience, tells which breed of dogs should be preferred when hunting a particular game. His detailed description of animals and birds is striking: their behavior, nutrition, removal of offspring, arrival, creation of steam and much more from the life of the inhabitants of forests, swamps, steppes - all this indicates how close it was to nature. That is why they treated enormous respect for the book of S.T. Aksakova is his contemporaries - I.S. Turgenev, N.V. Gogol, and subsequently many Russian scientists.

This book is a great gift for lovers of Russian hunting and connoisseurs of native nature
