Hunting used to be essential for life in the past as it saved people from hunger and cold. Today it is mainly used for entertainment. A hunting ground next to Atyrau, Kazakhstan that was opened last spring offers anyone to become a hunter.
Hunting has never been that easy. It rather looks like a shooting range, but instead of plastic rabbits you get live phesants grown specially at a farm. When a client arrives a phesant is let into the open space fenced from both sides where the bird even has no trees to sit on.
The scared birds rush away from a next group of the armed visitors with dogs.
To make the process even easier “hunters” are given jeeps and ATVs.
Pheasants are hunted in the early morning, after feeding and in the evening when it is not that hot and when it is windy. Wind carries animal odour and a dog catches the bird.
Many people say that killing is not the most important thing for them as they care about having a rest with friends more. As soon as you are tired of hunting, you can stop and enjoy a picnic in the open air. Hunting a wild boar is the most difficult thing as you can spend the whole day and don’t find the animal.
As soon as you are tired of shooting the birds, you can stop and enjoy a picnic in the open air, they will not escape far anyway.
Sometimes they are thrown up for easier shooting.
A bird flies 100-150 meters high in the sky and sits on the ground. It flies bad and little.
Dogs enjoy fetching warm bodies.
People bring a lot of dogs for them to be enjoyable tearing some birds apart.
Women like this hunting too.
It’s really that easy.
Then the trophies got picked up by the staff.
Breeding pheasants is easy so the hunt facility has pretty cheap prices.
They are going to cook a traditional dish of the hunters now.
They boil the birds and use any vegetables available such potatoes, carrots, onions, pepper and verdure.
Breeding pheasants is easy.
A lot of nestlings live in one cage for space saving.
Dogs lose their skills easily without daily practice.
The hunting ground is surrounded by ponds with a plenty of fish.
And this is the hunters’ house.
The dish is ready! Some say that hunting a wolf is the most exciting thing. Even after the animal is wounded it never gives up and keeps on fighting. Phesants is another thing, you take no any risks.

Lame-a** hunting!
Similar places around here. Not real hunting, just target practice with edible targets.
But Is that a bad thing? Seriously, if they eat it anyway and they had fun getting it to the dinner plate?
True
shame on that kind of “fun”… but at least the animals are being kept in relatively good condition (not like for example chicken farms)
Oh com’on! How is this immoral vs. the bird being mundanely slaughtered for dinner at the hands of a butcher, or an industrial slaughterhouse? It’s dinner just the same.
lol, I applaud them for having fun with their food!
Eating meat full of lead balls does not seem smart.
the first pictures I was like “quads and a cardboard box just to shoot for fifteen minutes wtf?”. Then I saw they had a farm. Made sense then.
Street corner sex for hunters; pay some money, get your jollies.
I think that even the Yanks, that come up here to hunt, would be disgusted with this type of fake hunting. Not to mention that real wild birds taste much better!
WTF this is gay hunting, come here will show you real man hunting, its very easy to hunt an injured and weak bird
yeah that”s not real hunting.
Who gives a f_ck if it’s “real hunting” or light entertainment? It’s dinner. So what if you shot and prepared it yourself “in the wild”, or shot it for fun, or bought it at the supermarket. The bird was murdered and served for dinner just the same. If you eat meat you eat meat. Get over how it gets to your dinner plate.
diaoyu islands belongs to china！！！o>_<~
No matter where you go on the internet you will always see Americans and their idiotic comments..how their views on life and the world..such losers being on this planet. Yes we know your country are known for murdering and hunting like how you hunt 80 million native Indian back in the days.. how you idolized guns and your hunting equipments .. how your ego is as high as show off kid in a school yard. You dont respect nature nor animals. But of course my comment here meant nothing to u and even pissed you off even more. Because is truth ? Or perhaps I should reminds you, how you bomb innocent people everyday around the world and pissed on their bodies. You American are a pathetic soul, the end is near on your evil empire.
“your country are known for murdering and hunting like how you hunt 80 million native Indian back in the days.” What days? The native North American population never reached such a number, even if you count in the South American indigenous peoples. You wanna spew, alright, but at least get the facts right.
You make me laugh! Very funny! More please!
