Kamchatka's spring hunting period concludes
The spring recreational and sports hunting season for waterfowl and hazel grouse in Kamchatka Krai concluded on May 23, 2025. The hunting season was organised with consideration for the climatic features of the regions, and approximately three thousand permits were issued for public and designated hunting grounds.
The hunting season did not specify the exact types of waterfowl and hazel grouse that were the focus of the hunting season. The preferred territories for this season were located on the eastern and western coasts of Kamchatka.
Hunters showed a preference for territories with convenient transportation access.

However, the exact penalties for not submitting hunting data within the required time frame are not explicitly stated in the provided information.
