In the last few hours, the catch plan for 2017 of pheasants and hares in the structures that are part ofTerritorial Hunting Area of Siena. The Agriculture and Rural Development Department (Wildlife Hunting, Amateur Fishing and Sea Fishing sector) of the The Tuscan Regional Authority examined the Objective Law for the management of ungulates and the catch plan transmitted by the same ATC.
The document highlighted full compatibility with the guidelines of the Wildlife Plan 2012-2015 and the need for inputs as regards the captured animals. The regional management has therefore authorized the Sienese area to capture hares and pheasants in certain Restocking and Capture Areas, in full compliance with the quantitative limits of the provision. The animals will also be placed in areas suitable for the species and in the territory on planned hunting or in Areas of Respect for Hunting.
The catches and re-releases will still have to finish the next one 28 February, without forgetting the essential presence of a supervisory officer, an ATC technician or a member of the management committee. It will be necessary to use simple nets, trammel nets and capture traps, while it will be impossible to exploit dogs for hares. Obviously, any captured garments will have to be marked immediately afterwards.
