Capercaillie meat is mostly used for personal consumption, which, in our opinion, is explained by the termination of centralized procurement of meat products of game industry after the break up of the USSR. But over the last years the wild meat market is beginning to restore and the opportunities for more detailed economic evaluation of game industry arise. The study presents original data on estimation of abundance and game bag for capercaillie in Kirov region, as well as the comparison with official data of the State Monitoring. It also contains the results of investigation of weight characteristics of capercaillie in the area, upon which the production of capercaillie hunting is estimated and expressed in monetary and physical terms. Safety of capercaillie hunt food products is analysed according to literature data, and the possibility of obtaining additional products is estimated.
