Hunting permits for bears and lynxes have been set at a fixed cost.
Hunting in Belarus gets a refresh
The game is afoot in Belarus, thanks to some recent changes by the country's Council of Ministers!
The small print of Council of Ministers Decree No. 233 dated April 23 has brought updates to Decree No. 454 "On Certain Issues of Hunting and Hunting Management", first issued back on June 14, 2018. It's time to don our hunting hats, as two new furry friends join the ranks of eligible game animals for permit fees.
Let's talk numbers! The new minimum permit fee for bear hunting will have Belarusians and EAEU citizens shelling out 500 rubles, while our overseas comrades will fork over 1000 rubles. And here's the fascinating part - for lynx hunting, our local and EAEU mates are looking at a 200 ruble fee, while foreigners will blast 500 rubles out of their wallets. But fear not - the hunting permit price for these majestic beasts starts at a humble 5 rubles per hunter.
But when does the fun commence? The decree goes live on May 21, 2025, mark your calendars and don't miss out on this grand adventure!
However, to confirm the current hunting fees and the exact date of enforcement, it's always best to stay tuned to official Belarus government announcements or reach out to the relevant authorities. Happy hunting, everyone! 🌵🌳🐻🦁
