The "Bloodless Hunt" is a silent without carcking shoots, and with the prey ranging from insects to big mammals. In this hunt the hunting license includes birds, animals, fog, larvae, elk droppings, frosted last year’s grass, the moon, dewdrops on lady’s-mantle leaves and all kinds of moods that arrest the photo-hunter’s eye and fire his imagination.

The XII "Bloodless hunt" took place on May 22-24, 2009, on the hunting grounds of the Kilingi-Nõmme district of RMK, the State Forest Management Centre. This year’s target creature was the OTTER and the best photo of the target was authored by Ingmar Muusikus, who became winner of a "Bloodless Hunt" for the third time. Besides the otter, one of the most popular photo models was the hare. Hare photos also took the largest number of special awards. 31 nature photographers took part. The photographers were assisted by  RMK's hunters.

The animal photo contest "Bloodless Hunt" has been organised since 1997 by RMK, the Estonian Museum of Natural History and Overall Eesti AS.
