the traditional mitteleuropean hunt for tetrao urogallus is made in the period of the reproduction (around 20 april usually) when the male are confident and in the morning before the sunrise sing from a tree to attract females. during this moment you can stalk in order to spot the bird and shoot it with bullet or shotgun on the tree depending from the position of it and the distance. normally as rifles combi are usede in 12/5,6x50 or 12/6,5x57 etc. with full metal jacket and for 12 4,5 mm pellets
according to me really beautiful hunt.
