The next month of April will be exploited by the section of Castiglione Messer Marino, in the province of Chieti, of the Italian Federation of Hunting to organize a course useful for obtaining the card from wild boar selecontroller. As reported by the newspaper Ecoaltomolise.net, it is an opportunity that has been prepared directly by theISPRA (Higher Institute for Environmental Protection and Research), but also the other hunting associations of the province are involved in the project. It is talking about four days of course in total, characterized by lectures and the participation of experts in the sector.
Registration has been open to all hunters who are interested in the card (therefore you don't necessarily have to be federcacciatori), there will also be a final exam which, if passed, will allow you to achieve the qualification. The selecontroller is the person who helps the provincial hunting agents in the context of the control (especially numerical) of animals that are considered intrusive, primarily the ungulates. The hunting of selection and therefore the details of the activities of the selecontroller are specified in the National Law on Hunting, to be precise in theArticle 17: the latter speaks of possible changes in hunting terms based on animal species and environmental conditions.
Selecontrol is typical of hunters expert in hunting ungulates, also because it is required to killing the game even in periods of the year when hunting is generally prohibited and in protected areas. The supervision of the provincial hunting agents must never be forgotten, the collaboration between the two figures is essential to avoid damage to agricultural crops and citizens. In Abruzzo, courses of this type are often held. In fact, it is enough to go back to last September, that is when Federcaccia Teramo organized training courses for ungulate selecontrollers: it was not just wild boars, but also roe deer, red deer, fallow deer and mouflons.
What is the specific exam in question? Interested hunters are asked to explore topics such as the biology, ethology, ecology and management of different animal species. In addition, it is necessary to study the issues related to the use of rifled guns that are equipped with optics. The exam quizzes are multiple choice and deal with the ungulates mentioned above, with weapons, ballistics, the moments following the firing of the selecontroller, the recovery of the ungulate, without forgetting biometrics and various health aspects. In a nutshell, we are referring to a well-rounded figure who is very well prepared from all points of view.
