Wild boar hunting: the perfect team - I admit, the title of this article is rather provocative: all beltlai fans know very well that the perfect team does not exist in practice. In reality, the concept of the "perfect team" is one of the many hunting utopias capable of encouraging every enthusiast to always improve and in any case. So let's see, below, to tackle the topic trying to identify all the characteristics that could make a team for hunting boar almost perfect.
Trophy: Carlo Caldesi Award - In the fabulous setting of the 25th Convention of the Safari Club International Italian Chapter, held in Florence from 3 to 6 June 2010, we had the opportunity to participate in the Carlo Caldesi Award, an award of indisputable charm
Migration: long life to the traditional wood pigeon hunters - For years I have collaborated with hunting magazines telling what little I knew about the wood pigeon.
I have always dealt more with the wild than with its hunting. I also experienced the adventure (because it is an adventure…) of writing a book dedicated to the mythical «Lord of the Turkey oaks». Then I coordinated "Project Colombaccio" from the distant 1996 until the completion of the tenth year of the research which, unique in Italy and among the few in Europe, has been able to involve many hunters as detectors of the autumn migration of our special observed
Colombacci: between doves and pigeons - Live calls represent the key element in traditional wood pigeon hunting. Their quality can be evaluated under a double aspect: the technical one, so to speak, linked to the ability demonstrated in performing the tasks required of them, and the morphological one. The first is connected for the most part by the dressage to which the calls are subjected at an early age; the second depends on the selection carried out in the breeding site, but also on a completely artificial manipulation, although absolutely non-invasive
Epistole Beccacciare: Anatomy of the new globetrotting hunter ... - I gladly receive and publish a long letter from my friend Filippo Ansuini, as beautiful as it is full of ideas and which I dedicate to all those who do not know, today as today, even among us, what the true face of the gentleman hunter of the third millennium is ...
Feather hunting in Kenya: legendary sand grouse - As, and more, than happens for all wild Africans, for which water is a primary element, the fast sand-grouses absolutely need water; they carry it among the feathers and make long movements to bring it up to the nest. During the hunting expedition in Kenya, led by Carlo Rizzini, it was not easy to meet the sand-grouses, but we found them - in a daring way - following the water
Hunting with the dog: goal slow down - «It has always been considered a fighter of… Serie B; okay, but how funny! Not only that, but how much effort does it require and which dog ... A mister dog, because otherwise it is better to stay at home ». Thus the late Avvoccato Giuseppe Mazzotti described this particular form of hunting in his "Hunts for migrants"
In the kitchen: risotto with gallinelle - Since in the previous article we dealt with the hunt for rallies, here is a recipe based on gallinelle.

To the hares in Sweden: lost in a cold foreign land - "Typology of precipitation in the form of frozen water which consists of a multitude of tiny ice crystals, all having a hexagonal base but each of a different type", this is the definition, in the dictionary of the Italian language, of the word snow. There are those who love it, those who hate it and those who remain indifferent to it. With this short story of mine I want to tell you a cut of life and hunting that surely led me to love it. Emotions, be they ugly or beautiful, must be experienced. This started and ended with snow
The Hunter's Library: Annibale Grasselli Barni - In Italian cinegetic literature, sometimes the qualitatively best works are also among the least easy to find on the market: I do not mean that they are very rare books but to define them as "infrequent" would seem too little to me. It could also be argued that these are works published between the end of the 1800s and the beginning of the 1900s (Ferdinando Delor, Angelo Vecchio, Arturo Renault, the very first editions of Chianini, Giulio Guicciardini, etc.) as if the public of our country were not somehow still ready to receive them and, in any case, the manuals had greater notoriety than the actual literature
