Two days ago, Monday 12 June 2017, the The Tuscan Regional Authority approved the roe deer selection hunting. These are the "Plans and timing of collection of the roe deer species for the 2017-2018 season, relating to the 14 management areas of the species in Tuscany". The official departure of the sampling is scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday 15 June, while the duration will expire on March 15, 2018. The text was submitted to the ISPRA opinion and includes monitoring, reporting of slaughtered animals and sampling areas.
In addition, it was decided to include the Territorial Areas of Hunting, the Areas of Respect for Hunting and the faunal institutes in the sampling area. Like the wild boar, there is a clear distinction between vocated and non-vocated area. Hunting silence will be in effect on Tuesdays and Fridays, while the rest of the calendar has been decided on the basis of the sex and age of the ungulates.
In particular, in the territories in the suitable area, adult and young males can be taken from 15 June to 15 July and from 15 August to 30 September, while the females and the young from 1 January to 15 March 2018. As for the non-suitable areas, the dates for adult and young males are those from June 15 to July 15, from August 15 to September 30 and from January 1 to March 15, while for females and young the selective collection will take place from August 15th to September 30th and from January 1st to March 15th.
