In Tatarstan, hunting brown bears has been allowed for the first time in over 100 years.

      In 2024, the brown bear was removed from the Red Book of Tatarstan. Hunters will be able to hunt no more than 7 brown bears. Photo: Vladimir VELENGURIN. Go to the Photo Bank of Komsomolskaya Pravda. The head of Tatarstan, Rustam Minnikhanov, approved limits and quotas for the hunting of game animals. The corresponding decree was signed for the season from August 1, 2026, to August 1, 2027. The key innovation of the document is the inclusion of the brown bear in the list of hunting resources. By the way, legal hunting of this animal in Tatarstan has not been conducted for almost a century, since the times preceding the 1917 revolution. In the upcoming season, hunters are allowed to hunt seven brown bears. The distribution of quotas is provided for three private hunting grounds located in two districts of the republic. In the Mamadysh district, a quota of one individual is allocated for the "Albaevskoe" hunting ground (its area exceeds 17 thousand hectares). In the Rybno-Slobodsky district, hunting will be possible in two estates: in "Kamsky Bereg" (more than 12 thousand hectares), it is allowed to hunt two bears, and in "Kamsky Bereg 2" (about 14 thousand hectares) — four. The possibility of including the brown bear in the limits arose after it was removed from the Red Book of Tatarstan in 2024. By that time, the population had reached 97 individuals, and over the previous ten years, the figure had tripled. This growth allowed the species to be transferred from the protected category to the category of hunting resources. Anna KUZOVLEVA
