There are four issues on which Lorenzo Bertacchi, Chairman of the Federcaccia of Bergamo, decided to take stock a few days after the start of the hunting season 2017-2018. The first is that of signature on the card. According to the president, it is necessary to clarify once and for all, given that the law of the Lombardy Region is different from the national one and provides for the game signature at the time of collection, marking the garments at the end of the day.
For Bertacchi, a circular or a resolution would be enough to correct everything, providing for the signature at the time of collection at the hunting site. As for the derogations, then, has just registered yet another disappointment. The hunting associations were pessimistic, also because it is useless to wait for a clear position from the Ministry of the Environment: the problem concerns roccoli, finch and brambles, with ISPRA creating even more confusion by declaring that it is impossible to comply with the Birds Directive.
The president of FIDC Bergamo also spoke about the larks. game bag provided (10 daily and 50 seasonal heads) is considered an offense to all specialist hunters who keep the calls alive. The provincial association had suggested rewarding them, using the database and proposing 100 larks a year and 20 a day. For pochard, tufted duck, ptarmigan and lapwing the line was instead maintained. Finally, the topic of supplementary days: only one has arrived in Bergamo, due to the high number of fixed posts, both in the Bergamo area and in the Brescia area.
