“Notes of a gun hunter of the Orenburg province” are devoted to four types of hunting - for forest, steppe, water and swamp game. The book pays much attention to the description of the models and structures of guns, as well as the types of cartridges used.

A detailed description of animals and birds is striking: their behavior, food, removing offspring, arrival, creating steam and much more from the life of the inhabitants of forests, swamps, steppes - all this indicates how close it was to nature. That is why they treated enormous respect for the book of S.T. Aksakova is his contemporaries - I.S. Turgenev, N.V. Gogol, and subsequently many Russian scientists.
