In early spring thin, mostly old males-blackcocks, and in this period, mating occurs mainly in the trees. The height of the currents begins when forest lawn half cleared of snow. From that time until the end of the mating grouse singing almost exclusively on the ground. The voice of the courtship display of black grouse-Kosach — overflow murmurs, somewhat reminiscent of a very powerful cooing of the dove. The usual spot — the wide edge of the forest, the Cape is outstanding in a meadow or field, rare woods, dry bogs, etc. In place of the mating grouse hunter pre-sets the hut, which is then regularly hunted. The tent should be comfortable for the hunter, to ensure the normal overview of the current and the ability of the shot and secure to hide it from displaying the grouse.
