To achieve success it is important to choose the right place to build a shelter or blind. It is advisable to arrive in advance for 1-2 days. This time is devoted to studying the behaviour of birds, places its flights, directions of movements, determination of Parking locations, feeding, and dnevki. If you are a 1 time hunt in this place, you already have experience in selecting locations for the installation of the shelter.

During the day, the grouse spend their time in swamps (places of rest) or feeding. Periodically flew from table to “bed”. Based on this, experienced hunters try to put an ambush equidistant, in the middle of the path of flight between these places. Thus the chances of the prey getting bigger. Tall trees and adjacent edge will be a plus. Distance for an accurate shot is approximately 40 meters.

Within 40 metres of the tent must be looking high for landing black grouse trees. If trees will be small, and the chance to perch the bird will be less.

There are different methods of constructions from prefabricated and fairly simple, to complex and time-consuming to install them.

The simplest way to use branches, young trees, sticks, grass growing in the place of hunting. It will not stand out from surrounding terrain, having the same colours as the nature around. You can use sharpened sticks stuck in the ground, kind of posts. They mounted either a scrim or burlap. These walls perfectly conceal the hunter. Is often fixed with plastic clamps for wires. They are cheap, find them in the sale not a problem to quickly pull together and keep.

In addition to stuffed use profile that differs only in its volume. In this article, we combine these concepts, as in the arrangement it doesn’t matter, same rules apply. The number of profiles should not be less than two, but the best option – 3 or 4 pieces. it is Noted that the best fit three stuffed rooster and one of the hens.

Locations on the tree, if you are on the hunt for a few days. Stuffed animals are exhibited on wooden poles or podtochennaya. The upper end sharpened, and it easily pushed the profile. The bottom is splitting, with the aim of consolidating on the branch of a tree and bitch. Do not put podsushennoy on trees, where should sit grouse.
