Bears meet untimely demise in Belarus over the weekend.

Belarus, a country known for its vast forests and diverse wildlife, operates a regulated system for hunting large game, including bears. This system often involves a lottery or permit system to control hunting quotas and ensure sustainable wildlife management.

As of now, there are only 8 permits left for the lottery in Belarus this year, a decrease from the initial 9. The specific details regarding the bear hunting lotteries for the year 2021, such as their dates, regulations, and application processes, remain unclear due to limited information available.

Despite this, it is generally known that hunters in Belarus are required to enter a lottery or apply for a hunting permit through authorized agencies. They must also adhere to specific hunting seasons and quotas for bear hunting, and comply with wildlife conservation laws, including reporting kills and restrictions on hunting methods.

Recent events have seen four bears being shot in Belarus between August 9 and 10. These killings took place in the Dokshitsky, Gluboksky, Vitebsky, and Gorodoksky hunting estates, as reported by the Belarusian Society of Hunters and Fishermen. The first bear was killed on the night of July 18 in the Vitebsky hunting estate.

Bear hunting in Belarus was officially reopened on July 1 and will last until December 31. Interestingly, 5 permits are available for auction in Belarus this year, in addition to the lottery permits. The Belarusian Society of Hunters and Fishermen has congratulated the successful hunters on their shots.

For those seeking comprehensive and accurate details specific to 2021, it would be advisable to consult official Belarusian government wildlife or forestry agencies, published legal texts addressing hunting regulations, or Belarusian hunting associations or licensed outfitters with Belarusian permits.
