After long-lasting period of time the strictly limited spring hunting on the
males of Black Grouse was allowed as experiment in 1998 for Volynian, Rivne,
Zhytomyr regions. Opening legal hunting Black Grouse at the places of its high
density is logistic step toward sustainable using resources of this species.
It could be stimulus for land users of hunting areas to perform annual census
of the Black Grouse and enforce the measurements for conservation. From another
hand improper control for hunting can be as limited factor to recover the Ukrainian
population of this species. Besides, after legalisation of spring hunting some
organizing, ecological and other issues are arisen in some Hunting Economies
of Ukraine. There is necessity of investigation such issues. [Ukrainian].
