Five days available: today, Thursday 1st September 2016, but also on 3, 4, 10 and 11 hunters in the province of Vicenza will be able to take advantage of the pre-opening of the 2016-2017 hunting season. The official start in Veneto is scheduled for next September 18th, while the conclusion was set for January 30, 2017: as reported by Il Giornale di Vicenza, they are 14mila the shotguns ready to go live in these hours after settling the situation with the badges and all the other requirements.
What changes compared to last year with this pre-opening? The main novelty for this area of the Veneto is represented by the hunting ban imposed on wood pigeons. The species will not initially be able to be taken (until 2015 it was also allowed in pre-opening), on the contrary the culling was set for the pperiod between the last days of December and early January. The decision did not convince and the hunters have expressed their discontent on several occasions.
However, the calendar remained intact and no changes were made, despite constant requests. In the days we are talking about it will be possible to hunt blackbirds, turtle doves, jays, magpies, gray crows and black crows. The season will not be characterized by unlimited hunting in time and indiscriminate to the species as it is natural that it is.
