Охота на Турача

This group of birds formerly classified as Francolin have now been split into Francolin and Spurfowl. However, as hunters, we still refer to them as Francolin. Globally there are approximately 40 species of Francolin of which 35 occur in Africa. Twelve of the most commonly hunted species occur in Southern Africa. Francolin may be hunted in the countries that offer hunting and even in Kenya where plains and big game hunting has been closed for many years. Bird hunting Outfitters are found in Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, with the majority being South African.

The best and most successful way to hunt Francolin is over well-trained dogs. These hunts may be conducted under numerous field conditions, whether it be shooting Red-wing and Grey-wing Francolin in the high altitude grasslands or Swainson’s Francolin near cornfields to the mixed bushveld hunting for Crested, Coqui and Natal Francolin. Most importantly you need an Outfitter who has access to good and well-managed habitat. Individual birds may also be hunted for the pot during the safari.
