The Mint of Poland introduced the "Art of Hunting" collector coin series, showcasing traditional hunting scenes from different regions around the globe.
Waterfowl hunting, practiced for sport and meat, involves hunting ducks, geese, and shorebirds in fields or near bodies of water like rivers, lakes, and wetlands. With a long history dating back to prehistoric times, modern waterfowl hunting emerged in the 17th century with the use of firearms and evolved with innovations like shotguns and decoys. Commonly hunted species include mallards, Canada geese, and pintails, among others. Regulations aim to ensure ethical practices, requiring permits and safety courses, while prohibiting the use of lead shot and certain hunting methods. Conservation efforts are vital as wetlands, key habitats for migratory birds, continue to diminish.
