>>1349426Its around 30 cents per bird shot (low but good tier), 1.5 $ for bullet.
I handload for fun, I dont save up much by doing so.
>>1349431Laws? Well, what exactly do you want to know?
Most hunting land is private, and prices there are high.
Lik, $10 -$ 20 per DAY to hunt hare or duck.
Often around $30-40 for the same animlas per season. I have not hunted in private land yet.
Government hunting grounds are cheap. But (allegedly) there are less animals there.
It cost me $20 for bird season and $20 for mammal season, both will last around 6 months till end of February.
Then I just run around with my 12g and shoot at things. Can't shoot closer than 200 m to buildings.
Can't get elk/pig tags in government grounds cause they are all taken by... ehm... "connected" people, regular folks rarely get those.
Game wardens... well there are two types.
The first type is your regular ranger. Does not have much in terms of enforcement powers, IIRC can't even search you.
If he's good, he stalks the woods and looks for shit happening, also can write you a hunting loicense. If he's bad, he poaches shit all day long.
The second type is a hunting inspector. These guys are allowed to search you and your car and are often accompanied by police. They often stand on the side of roads and search cars for poached meat/illegal guns etc.
In most places you can hardly meet any wardens, especially in the remote areas (which are the majority of land in russia, the Taiga for example). Poachers galore, it seems, and the government does not / can't do much.
As for hunting access, I live in Saint Petersburg. We have a lot of woods up here, north of the city.
I don't own a car so I take the train to a couple of spots not far from the city (30 km). When some of my friends who own a car go hunting, I go with them.
The farther from the city, the more game there is
We got elk, boar, grouse and black grouse, ducks, woodcock, squirrels, beavers etc
