The bear hibernation is called a den. Experienced hunters can find it by known signs. This is necessary both for a special type of hunting, which is called "hunting in a den", and in order to know about an unsafe place and bypass it while in the forest.
Instructions
Step 1
Bears make their own winter rookery in advance, since the summer. They can lie at the roots of fallen large trees, in hollows, natural caves, ravines. But usually a brown bear digs a den on its own. She has a narrow manhole and a fairly spacious chamber with a low ceiling, where, in fact, the predator lies.
Step 2
Oddly enough, but bears can anticipate what winter will be like. It has been noticed that before the cold winter, the bear settles down in a deep den, insulating it as much as possible. In front of a warm bear can lie down even on bare ground.
Step 3
The bear drags leaves, grass and moss into the den, and then covers it with brushwood and spruce paws. Experienced hunters know that usually there are no tracks of any animals or even birds near the bear den. The animals sense the clubfoot and bypass the place of its hibernation.
Step 4
The animal often makes "snacks" near the place of its rookery, that is, it bites the bark of trees, as well as branches, usually at the height of its growth. If you see a bitten off bark near a place, it is likely that a bear is sleeping somewhere nearby. By the way, these marks can be used to judge the size of the bear.
Step 5
A bear in its den lies with its muzzle towards the exit, and from constant breathing for many months (the bear usually does not change its position during sleep), the entrance to the den (which is called the mouth or forehead) and the nearest bushes and tree trunks are gradually covered with yellowish frost. In winter and in open space, this frost is clearly visible; hunters identify a bear den by it.
Step 6
It is usually believed that for a den, a bear always goes to completely remote places, far from human habitation. However, this is not entirely true, especially now, when there are so few places left undeveloped by man. Therefore, the beast can lie down and close to housing.
Step 7
A person without experience will practically not be able to determine in winter where the bear den is, only those who have seen more than once what these places look like are capable of this. Favorite areas are rugged forest areas with windbreaks, trees uprooted by the roots, wetlands.
