A book from the series "Library of a novice hunter. ""Calendar of a hunter-athlete" sets out to acquaint the general reader with the biological features and habits of a number of animals and birds, mainly our middle lane, and seasonal types of hunting for them. The material of the book is divided by the number of months into 12 sections, each of which describes the lifestyle of the main representatives of our fauna, indicates the places of typical stay of the beast and bird and the methods of sports hunting allowed during this period of the year. However, the time of each type of hunting is indicated only tentatively and must be specified locally, since the timing of hunting and animals and birds allowed for shooting are all determined in each republic, region and region by special regulations and can change annually.
