Hunting in Umbria: during the operations for the control of the territory, the Forest Guard carried out more than 600 checks, denouncing two people and imposing 64 penalties.
On Saturday 22 September, the men of 34 commands of the State Forestry Corps of the Umbria Region carried out an intense activity of control of the territory aimed at averting any violations related to hunting in the Region.
In Umbria, the opening of the hunt took place regularly on 16 September as foreseen by the 2012/13 Regional Hunting Calendar for all huntable species with the exception of the wild boar which can be hunted from 30 September.
Forestry controls mainly concerned compliance with general hunting regulations and, in particular, compliance with the hunting ban in areas affected by fires, a ban which has a duration of ten years from the date on which the fire occurred.
In the province of Perugia alone, the men of the State Forestry Corps were able to control more than five hundred hunters in the newspapers last Saturday and Sunday, ascertaining about 64 administrative violations relating to hunting regulations and other regulations which resulted in as many penalties imposed on transgressors for a total amount of € 4.159,00; in general, the violations concerned the failure to record in the hunting card, the failure to recover the shells, the failure to respect distances and finally the circulation and off-road parking of motor vehicles.
As regards the province of Terni, the Forestry has checked about 170 hunters between Saturday and Sunday, finding about twenty administrative violations for a total amount of € 3.766,00; however, two criminal violations were ascertained for which the men of the State Forestry Corps proceeded to denounce the two offenders on the loose for exercising the hunting activity with unauthorized means and consequent criminal seizure of the same.
