The summer drought requires a lot of attention and hard work, not only for those working in agriculture but also for those working in forestry. The heat and water shortages are not only hard on plants, but also on forest animals. And this summer will be far from the usual soaking showers, unfortunately. The drought and persistently high temperatures, even at dawn, mean that the dewdrops that save wildlife's lives are not forming.
This has serious consequences for the animals and indeed for the hunting industry. What are the physiological effects of drought on wildlife and how can these effects be mitigated? We asked some hunting companies about this and summarised their feedback. It is obvious that the deer are thirsty and hungry because of the current weather conditions. This is causing them to venture ever closer to populated areas, which is why the number of wildlife accidents is increasing, which makes things difficult for the hunting companies, because part of the responsibility falls on them to keep the wilds under control.
The Hunting Association of Deszk approached the problem from a sadder side. In a telephone conversation with them, we learned that some of the watering places belonging to the company had already dried up. This is causing the larger game to die of thirst. Smaller wild animals, such as rabbits, can get water from a more distant canal, so they can still be supplied.
On 30 July, the Research Group Association of Bükk published a shocking series of pictures on their social networking site, with the following text: "Unfortunately, the water situation in the forests of the Bükk has not improved in the last month. The area is still characterised by dried up stream beds, where thirsty animals are relentlessly searching for the water they need. Interestingly, wild boar are once again becoming more common in the images, with many pictures of piglets with striped coats being taken in recent weeks."
If you can, put water in buckets on the edges of forests and fields, so that at least the smaller animals can survive this heatwave.
