HUNTING IN SLOVENIA How to became a hunter
First the application form should be applied to the selected
Hunting organization. Of course you must fulfil certain conditions prescribed by the low.
In the first year as a trainee you learn about hunting yards and hunting rules. Lectures
begin in wintertime and finish in May. To finish the course successfully 10 exams should
be passed together with the final practical avocation from your hunting organisation
committee and then you become an independent hunter. Then you can move across the hunting
yards without the presence of a senior hunter as it was during your trainee period. At the
same time a membership fee should be paid; at the beginning also a hunting charges should
be paid, fortunately only once. Charges are different in different regional organisations
and vary from one to another Hunting Organisation.
Hunter obligations
Each hunter should take care about maintaining his
"solnic" stands with salt for wild animals. During winter time they should be
empty while in early spring are filled to full. Thus he starts to feed the animals in
certain feeding zones. Hunters try to shoot away physically weakened animals; hence they
keep for bigger trophies. They also keep to avoid wild hunting. Every hunter also has to
participate some free working hours to his Hunting Organization.
Hunting Ethics
The hunting ethics is usually simply expressed as a
hunting entitlement or hunting morality or hunting consciousness. Hunting entitlement best
represents its noble relation to the nature and animals. Hunting ethics requires from a
hunter a decent and fair hunting. Nowadays hunting becomes more a kind of entertainment
rather than hunting for meat as it used to be in the past. Any torture of animals is
considered unethical. Any wounded animal should be killed with a "merciful"
shoot and not with the knife or even with hands. Animals are afraid of physically stronger
hunter; suffer from the fierce against him, he is not frightened with death cause it is
not aware of it. Also shooting to animals on feeding zones or in "stiska" is not
ethically, cause it should be given any kind of help. Hunting ethics not distinct between
protected and unprotected animals. For example it is not ethically shooting for a fox in
the winter although it is not protected because it grows its "mladiče" in that
time. Hunting ethics also require from hunter to manage respectively with killed animal,
to properly "raztelesiti" it, to good clean a trophy and to keep a trophy on a
suitable place.
Young Hunter Opinion
Because I am too young to wear a weapon I am also not in a
position to became an independent hunter. Otherwise I very likely accompany my father at
hunting, to look into hunting handbook to read any interesting about hunting. I help my
father to evaluate the wild animals, .... . But I am still wating for the time I should
became an independent hunter and hopefully a top ethically one.

LOV
NA SLOVENSKEM
Lovne
dobe
Predstavitev nekaterih živali
Kako postati lovecNajprej
je potrebno vložiti prošnjo za sprejetje v LD, ki ste si jo izbrali, seveda če v
preteklosti niste imeli večjih težav s katerokoli stvarjo, ki bi vam lahko preprečevala
izpolnjevanje pogojev za sprejetje v LD. Potem imate 1 leto pripravništva in v tem
obdobju se naučite spoznavati lovišče ter pravila lova. V zimskem času se začno
predavanja, ki se končajo maja. Izpitov je 10 ter še praktični del pred komisijo vaše
LD. Potem, ko ste uspešno opravili izpite ste samostojni lovec. Sedaj lahko hodite po
lovišču brez mentorjevega spremstva kot je bilo potrebno v obdobju pripravništva. Kar
je treba plačati, pa je le članarina na začetku pa je še pristopnina, ki jo plačate
le enkrat. Cene so v različnih LD različno visoke.
Naloge lovca
Naloge lovca so, da skrbi za zalaganje svojih solnic, ki naj bodo
pozimi prazne, spomladi pa naj jih čimprej napolnijo, da skrbi za redno krmljenje na
krmiščih. Gledajo, da odstreljujejo fizično slabše živali in s tem skrbijo tudi za
večje trofeje. Skrbi za preprečevanje divjega lova. Vsak lovec pa mora tudi opraviti
nekaj delovnih ur, v obdobju pripravništva, pa je teh ur več.
Lovska etika
Za pojem lovska etika navadno uporabljamo izraz lovska
pravičnost, lovska morala, lovska vest. Lovska pravičnost je plemenit odnos do narave in
njenih živih bitjih. Lovska etika zahteva od lovca, da lovi dostojno, primerno in
pošteno. Danes je lov v prvi vrsti razvedrilo in uživanje v naravi, ne pa lov na meso,
kot je bilo včasih. Sleherno mučenje živali je nelovsko, torej ni lovsko etično.
Lovsko etično je da zastreljeno divjad usmrtimo z milostnim strelom, ne pa, da jo
usmrtimo z nožem ali krepelcem ali celo, da jo zadavimo z rokami. Žival se namreč bolj
boji močnejšega nasprotnika, trpi od strahu pred njim, smrti se ne boji, ker se je ne
zaveda. Tudi to, da žival streljamo na krmišču, pri solnici ali v stiski ni etično,
ampak je treba živali pomagati. Lovska etika ne pozna razlik med zaščiteno in
nezaščiteno divjadjo. Lovsko etično ni tudi upleniti lisico pozimi, ko so njeni
mladiči nebogljeni, čeprav lisica v tistem obdobju ni zaščitena. Lovska etika zahteva
tudi, da z uplenjeno divjadjo ravnamo spoštljivo, jo pravilno raztelesimo, trofeje dobro
očistimo in jih hranimo na primernem mestu.
Mnenje mladega lovca
Ker sem še premlad, da bi nosil orožje, ne morem niti še
postati samostojen lovec. Vseeno pa očeta z veseljem spremljam na lovu in tudi zelo rad
pogledam v lovski priročnik in si preberem kaj zanimivega o lovstvu. Očetu tudi pomagam
pri oceni divjadi, z veseljem pa mu pomagam divjad tudi iztrebit, ter očistiti trofejo in
čeljusti. A vseeno komaj čakam, da bom lahko postal samostojen lovec in upam, da bom
postal visokoetični lovec.
