huntsman

sometimes gamekeeper(from German jäger - hunter) - a hunting servant in rifle hunting. The duties of rangers are: 1) supervision of the hunting economy in the areas intended for hunting; 2) preparation and organization of hunts and 3) provision of relevant services to hunters in the course of hunting. Duties of the first kind include: guarding the land, personally and through watchmen, from unauthorized hunting by unauthorized persons; feeding in winter some birds and animals (mainly gray partridges and wild goats); the extermination of predators that are not the object of hunting, such as hawks, cats, and the observation of watchmen, hunting buildings and all hunting equipment in general. Responsibilities of the second kind consist in training and training dogs, in searching for grouse and capercaillie currents (see), convenient places for woodcock and duck traction (see), broods and game falls, in wrapping around bears, elks, wolves and other animals, in hiring beaters (shouting) for round-ups and in the very device of round-ups. E. should assist hunters with excellent knowledge of the case and the terrain and the speedy search for game in conditions convenient for shooting it.

The advantages of this method are that the Pskovians, having studied all the skills of animals (mainly wolves and foxes), quickly surround them and three of them, one in the middle, others on the sides, drive them to a predetermined place for a hunter. Pskovians are usually hired by artels of three people, and in winter they each receive up to 100 rubles. per month of salary (for details, see the article by Dmitriev-Mamonov, in the "Journal of Hunting" for 1874 and 1875; a note by V.

• Huntsman, Vladislav Romanov, A wealthy German businessman who came to hunt in the forestry, is taken hostage by a recidivist who escaped from prison. The huntsman, Vasily Klintsov, enters into a dangerous fight. But the perpetrator is... Series: Russia: Men's work Publisher: AST, Olympus,

The huntsman stubbornly pursued the poachers. He was killed and buried with dogs. According to the Ministry of Natural Resources, they were attacked 116 times in 2017. This number also includes cases of vandalism - for example, burned houses and cars. Alas, sometimes the confrontation between rangers and poachers ends in murder.

IN Tambov region in November last year, an employee of the Nizhnevoroninsky reserve went missing.

As it turned out, he was killed by a poacher, who almost convinced the investigators that he shot the huntsman by mistake, confusing him with a wild boar.

Disappeared without a trace

On the morning of November 9, 2017, a freelance employee of the Nizhnevoroninsky reserve, 49-year-old Viktor Pushkov, took his carbine and four dogs, went to the forest in his personal Niva, but did not return home by the agreed time and did not answer calls.

Viktor Pushkov worked for many years as a huntsman in the reserve, but in 2015 the authorities, reducing budget spending, eliminated one of the bets. Victor was formally left without a job, but his friends and colleagues provided him with a part-time job, and he, without receiving an official salary, continued to perform his usual duties.

“Pushkov was involved in any work, often he was appointed senior. And in the surrounding villages, he was still treated as a full-time huntsman,” Lieutenant of Justice Dmitry Ermakov, an investigator of the Uvarov Investigation Department of the Tambov Directorate of the ICR, tells Lente.ru. - He knew the forest well, loved it, went around his site almost every day. And be sure to have the phones of different operators to always be in touch. Is there anything…”

The search for the missing man was started by his relatives and colleagues. Very quickly they found a car left on the side of the road, but he himself fell through the ground, which had never happened before. The search continued until late in the evening, but no result was given. Even then, Pushkov's colleagues had no doubt that one of the local poachers was involved in the huntsman's disappearance. The reserve has always been a tasty morsel for them.

The Nizhnevoroninsky biological reserve was organized relatively recently - in 2012. Not everyone knows how the reserve differs from the reserve: absolutely all objects of the animal and plant world are protected in the reserve, and in the reserves - individual, specially listed species.

In Nizhnevoroninsky, among such animals are muskrat, mink, otter, gray crane and deer. Here you can not use snowmobiles and ATVs, chemical fertilizers, carry out noisy work. And of course you can't hunt. That is, as the law interprets, one cannot be in the forest with a weapon, even unloaded and put in a case.

The latter circumstance somewhat disturbed the usual course of things. The reserve was organized in the Chui forest - a long-standing hunting place. Elk, beaver, deer and roe deer have been harvested here since ancient times. Many were sympathetic to the emergence of a new protected natural area, but some considered it a personal insult. And they loudly declared that they would continue to hunt anyway - as their grandfathers did.

Fatal mistake?

One of those who disagreed was 58-year-old Yuri Solopov.

“The huntsmen and inspectors had skirmishes with Solopov more than once,” Vladimir Martyntsev, state inspector of the reserve, said during interrogation. - He ignored the law and regularly appeared in the reserve with weapons. It was not possible to catch him poaching, but preventive conversations with him were held regularly. They did not give a result, but they were always a reason for conflicts. Solopov said that in the forest there are enough animals for everyone.

According to the investigation, on November 8, 2017, on the eve of his disappearance, Pushkov, walking around the forest, again saw Solopov with a weapon. But he was not alone, and the former huntsman postponed the conversation with him. However, apparently, he was determined: in telephone conversation with colleagues, he said that he would go into the forest the next day and look for the poacher in order to catch him red-handed. And in the morning he confirmed again: I went to look for Solopov.

“On November 10, a group of local residents and employees of the reserve went to comb the forest again in the early morning,” says investigator Dmitry Ermakov. “They already knew that the car had been found locked, and that all four of his dogs were missing along with the gamekeeper. Around 15:00 in the forest, searchers came across one of the dogs - she was shot dead. And a few meters away they noticed a section of dug up soil. The paw of another dog was sticking out of the ground.

The huntsmen began to dig a hole - and found three other dogs of Pushkov. All were killed, and by shot - experienced huntsmen determine this no worse than forensic doctors. A little deeper, under a layer of earth, they found the body of the missing Pushkov.

Only after that an official statement was received by the police, and an investigative-operational group left for the place.

While the forensic experts were examining the body, the investigator and operatives interviewed the inspectors of the reserve who found the body and the relatives of the victim - and went to Solopov.

The poacher did not unlock, and immediately wrote a confession: he went out into the forest for illegal hunting, saw a dark mass surrounded by dogs in the bushes, decided that it was a wild boar, fired, came closer - and saw that it was not an animal, but a man.

“Moreover, he was well known to me earlier, since I repeatedly clashed with him,” Solopov admitted. - He was frightened, left, then returned, taking a shovel with him, buried the body, and threw the Los carbine and telephones belonging to him into the Raven River. Yes, the dogs also got shot, I killed them too. Punish for manslaughter."

“On the one hand, the crime can be considered solved: the suspect immediately confessed, and the homemade shot taken from him turned out to be identical to the one found in the bodies of the deceased and the dogs,” recalls investigator Dmitry Ermakov. “But if the fact of the murder was not in doubt, then its circumstances contradicted the situation that was investigated at the scene.

Firstly, the bush, where the trail of dragging the body led, and where traces of a shot and splashes of blood were found, is quite rare, and it is very difficult to confuse a person with a wild boar in it.

Secondly, the experienced huntsman Pushkov could not behave in such a way that he was confused with a wild boar.

And, thirdly, the circumstances clearly contradicted the version of careless murder: several people said at once that Pushkov had specially gone to look for Solopov, who was poaching. Such a coincidence is, of course, possible, but very, very doubtful.

Still a massacre

The version of an accidental murder began to be checked very closely. And did not find its confirmation. The only wound was in the back of the head, and the trajectory of the flight of the shot testified more likely that the victim was standing at the time of the wound, and not squatting down.

A standing man, especially during daylight hours (and the murder was committed between 09:00 and 10:00), is difficult to confuse with a wild boar. The wounds inflicted on the dogs, judging by the results of their autopsy, were produced by other shots.

This, to put it mildly, contradicted the version that by shooting at a wild boar, the poacher also hit the dogs. And the behavior of the accused did not correspond to the picture of the crime he had drawn: he was allegedly frightened of what he had done and left the scene of the murder without informing anyone.

And only at about 2:00 pm, having come to his senses, he returned and buried the man and animals he had shot ... Still not telling anyone anything.

“According to the investigation, Pushkov tracked down Solopov, who was poaching, in the forest, and a conflict occurred between them: the former huntsman tried to shame the violator, a quarrel broke out,” investigator Yermakov believes. - Realizing that he has no legal rights to detain the violator, Pushkov decided to immediately inform the state inspectors about what had happened.

As he turned his back to find a steady job mobile phone, Solopov shot him, and then shot the dogs that rushed to protect the owner. In an attempt to avoid responsibility, he decided to hide the bodies and other evidence."

In his opinion, Solopov is a cunning and reasonable person, but at the same time calm. Last years he worked as a private security guard at a local agricultural enterprise, not as one who patrols the fields, guarding them from robbers, but as one who checks passes at the entrance to the office.

From the first minutes, Solopov adhered to the only version. And he was convinced that the intent could not be proved. Well, the reserve is just stupid, there is a lot of game in the Chui forest, and there will be enough for our lifetime. Until 2012, everyone hunted there, so now it is also possible.

Ignorance of forensic science let Solopov down: the conclusions of experts, forensic doctors and colleagues of the murdered Pushkov in no way confirmed the words of the killer. Neither Solopov himself nor his defenders could convince the court.

The most convincing evidence that refuted the words of the accused was Pushkov's denture. A shot shot that hit the huntsman's neck from behind did a lot of damage, but one of the shots knocked out the dental bridge. He flew a few meters ahead, and was discovered by an expert.

So, according to the conclusion of the ballistics, who took into account the location of the shooter and his victim, it was in this place that the prosthesis could not have ended up in any way if the shot was at a crouched person. And he could get there in one single case: if the shot was fired at a person who was standing with his back.

According to the testimony of the majority of witnesses (practically all, except for the relatives of the accused), Solopov and his family lived by poaching, despite the fact that everyone had a job. He himself regularly hunted in the fields and forests, catching hare, black grouse and roe deer. Rangers and inspectors saw him many times near the reserve with a gun.

In the Nizhnevoroninsky reserve itself, traces of the division of the hunted animal were repeatedly found, and few doubted that it was Solopov who poached, but they could not detain him red-handed, and you can’t go to court or the police with guesses.

Solopov himself was even proud that he was an experienced hunter. At home, a lot of gunpowder, a lot of knives, special devices for making shot and collecting cartridges were confiscated from him. Many animal skins were also found. But neither the hare nor the roe deer have a residence permit, and it is unrealistic to prove that they were obtained by poaching.

It is impossible to find out exactly what happened on November 9, 2017 in the Chui Forest: one of the participants in the meeting is dead, and the second only tells what is beneficial to him. Nevertheless, the court agreed with the version of the investigation and qualified Solopov's actions precisely as a premeditated murder, and not a crime committed through negligence.

Solopov was sentenced to eight years in a strict regime colony. In practice, this is the maximum term that is given for the murder of one person.

Dangerous job

Formally, he died as a private person - indeed, at the time of the murder, there was no worker named Pushkov on the staff of the state inspectorate of the reserve. But all his relatives and colleagues are convinced that he was killed defending the interests of the state in the Nizhnevoroninsky reserve.

In words, the vast majority of citizens love nature, but in reality, many exploit it to the maximum, especially when there is not enough money, and the forest is nearby. Grandparents and great-grandfathers traditionally hunted in it, and today someone dares to forbid wandering through the forest with a gun, although elk and capercaillie are very tasty ... Last year, inspectors compiled more than 54 thousand protocols - and this is only for indisputable cases.

According to the Ministry of Natural Resources, in 2015 there were 117 threats against officials departments and attacks on them, in 2016 there were 122 such cases, in the past 2017 - 116. It seems to be few, but on average every three days one of the state inspectors becomes a victim of criminal encroachments.

For example, to feed elks and wild boars in a fierce winter, or in those places where starving animals can harm a person - destroy gardens and crops.

Or vice versa, to carry out the shooting of sick, aggressive or excessively bred animals so that the rest of the animals can avoid infection with diseases, hunger and overcrowding. This saves both livestock and makes life safer for people in countryside. The huntsman also organizes hunting in the areas entrusted to him.
