Perchino hunting report 1912

 

Andrus Kozlov has collected data from the Perchino hunting Journals. Not all years are available.

Contrary to Gatchina they did not use guns but hunted with borzoi so what these figures tell us about the borzoi’s capabilities we can assume is quite close to the truth. It is also apparent that wolves were not an easy prey to find and catch and it is therefore understandable that it got lots of attention when it happened, especially if a borzoi could take down a wolf singlehanded.

The figures show the results from hunting with hounds at Perchino.
