In his office, Milan shows and presents me with many postcards, booklets, and brochures encouraging me to love, protect, and study the wildlife of Slovakia. "Next time, come get Daniel. He has the most delicious meat!"


The Slovak Hunters' Union is located there on one of the central streets. Andrei Opaleni is the released secretary of the Slovak Hunters' Union, this is his main place of work, here he receives a salary. The chairman of the union is engineer Ladislav Sharvari, General director of the sugar mill. I hand Andrey a letter of recommendation and tell him about my desire to prepare an essay on hunting in Slovakia. Opaleni promises me full support, gives me a long-playing record of hunting signals, and hands me over to the head of the hunting department, Peter Fritz. The kind hosts provide me with information about the numbers and prey of the main hunting animals and birds of Slovakia. Even a cursory acquaintance with these data makes it possible to understand how great the hunters' successes are. After all, it's essentially all created by their hands.


In 1987, 29 thousand red deer, almost 4 thousand fallow deer, 4 thousand mouflons, about 60 thousand roe deer, 17 thousand wild boars, 187 thousand hares, 125 thousand pheasants and many other very different game lived in the republic. In 1986, Slovak hunters shot 12.7 thousand deer, 1 2.8 thousand roe deer, 12.4 thousand wild boars, 30 thousand rusaks, 13 thousand foxes, more than 60 thousand pheasants, 30 thousand gray crows, 25 thousand magpies.


My friends list a variety of biotech jobs, but my special attention is drawn to the program of veterinary events. Every hunting biologist knows how devastating various invasions and epizootics can be. In many places, they are tolerated as an unavoidable evil, accepted as another natural disaster. The ability to anticipate and deal with them is a sign of a high state of the hunting industry.


In winter, game in Slovakia concentrates near the feeders. Droppings are collected here for analysis, and if helminths are found, helmisan, a conglomerate of various medicinal preparations, is added to the feed mixture. The Hungarian Mebenweg is widely used for the same purposes. It is usually made in pellets with 10% of the litter content. The effect of drugs is determined by repeated analysis of the litter.


The most numerous ungulate species is the roe deer. Unfortunately, she suffers greatly from a parasite (Cephenomuia), which deposits testicles in the nostrils and respiratory tract, from where they enter the brain, causing severe disease and death of animals. Raphoxanite is used to combat this disease. This medicine, as well as helmisan, is a conglomerate of many medicines; it is mixed into roe deer feed in the form of flour.


One of the most devastating diseases of hares is coccidiosis. They fight it with sulfadimesine, which is mixed with their favorite rabbit food.


The Ministry of Agriculture annually allocates 1 million 300 thousand crowns for these three biotechnological measures. However, these funds are not enough. In total, there are 37 districts in Slovakia, and continuous deworming is carried out only in 12, raphoxanite is used in 10, and the control of coccidiosis in rusak is used in only two. The limited use of such effective methods of treatment and prevention is hampered by the lack of necessary funds.


Slovakia sells live game to other European countries: to Italy and France hares (1978 - 50 thousand, 1986 — 17 thousand), to France also lynxes, which French hunting biologists use to maintain and genetically strengthen the lynx population in the Vosges; to Germany — forest cats; to Hungary — annually about 100 thousand 1-3 day old pheasant chicks, and all the currency received from the sale goes to purchase medicines in Hungary, as well as fallow deer for their release into hunting grounds.


Slovak hunters are required to donate 55% of their game to the state. This amounts to about a thousand tons of meat per year. These include deer, wild boar, roe deer, mouflon, fallow deer, hare, and pheasant. 55% of the money raised from the sale of wild animal meat to the state goes to the hunting circle; 85% of these contributions go, in turn, to biotechnological measures. All licenses are free; only a bear license costs 10 thousand crowns for a Slovak hunter and 37 thousand crowns for a foreigner. There is no plan for the surrender of furs, the hunter can keep all the furs he gets.


When Peter Fritz says the word "kaucia", I am alarmed, it is not familiar to me. It turns out that this is the entrance fee for joining the hunter society. Kaucia returns when she leaves the hunting society. In Slovakia, the subsidy is 50 crowns (50 rubles). The national fund for the development of hunting exists and is successfully operating. Hunting clubs, in our opinion, grassroots collectives, take part in its creation at the lowest level. They transfer money to the fund in proportion to the area of their hunting grounds and the availability of game in them (for each deer, roe deer, etc.). This creates a monetary fund for districts and districts. Together they make up the national fund for the development of hunting. Skillful, thoughtful use of these large amounts of money gives tangible results. Sports “early payout” promos can settle bets when your team leads by 2 goals, sometimes capped at $100 per ticket.
