HUNTING RESOURCES OF SHELEKHOVSKY DISTRICT AND THEIR USE (SOUTHERN CISBAYKALIA)
In Shelekhovsky district hunting activity is significant. Species composition of hunting animals of area is varied. The state of numbers and the degree of use of certain species were characterized using materials of number and use of hunting animals for the 2012-2018. Also the most economically significant species of hunting animals were determined. Their composition is limited to the following list: elk, red deer, roe deer, musk deer, wild boar, sable, badger and bear. Using data from the adjacent territory, the dynamics of the number of ungulates was explained. In particular, a sharp decline in their numbers in 2015 due to a few amount of snow. The lack of population decline this year on the roe is explained by the specific features: the usual eviction from higher locations. Snow on them for the seasonal change of the stations of this species was enough. In recent years, there has been a stable state of sable numbers and increased, but relatively stable, by bear. In conjunction with the state of pine sinusia, the role of ungulates of game animals in its relatively stable state in the ecosystem is reflected. Hunting in the conditions of area is a deterrent for the ungulates to harm the pine sinusia. This is confirmed by the absence of pine-roe deer eating on trial plots and their limited frequency on the routes. The squirrel, as a typical seed eater, also does not render in the basin of the r. Olkha significant effect on the pine pine sinusium because of its relative small size. This is confirmed by a significant amount of pre-pine renewal under the crown layer of pine stands.
