The hunting season 2018/2019 for the vast majority of sedentary workers from Brescia and migrant workers in wandering form while the hunt will end on January 31st even from a fixed position. It is not easy to take stock of hunting in our province given the many forms of hunting practiced. We know that migration follows its logic: thrushes, cesene and sasselli after three years of abundant game bags have shown little and badly disappointing more than one shed. The woodcocks instead recorded an important and prolonged step giving a hard time to all fans of the queen of the woods.
Ducks have also been seen in large numbers in the sguass of our province and along our rivers and lakes while snipe, due to the prolonged drought, have chosen directly environments more suited to them like the rice fields of Lomellina and Pavia. A different story, on the other hand, for the sedentary which is certainly affected in an important way by the management choices delegated to restocking but above all of the behavior of both those who work in the agricultural sector and hunters during the year. The hares again this year were present in patches in our province suffering greatly from the lack of adequate land; moreover, the difficulty of finding less stressed and more accustomed breeders on site to our highly urbanized territory and the lack of large lung areas has meant that especially the lovers of follow dogs have not experienced a satisfactory hunting season.
As for the sedentary feathered game on the other hand, the crisis and the consequent commissioner of the Single Atc certainly weighed on the plains: in fact the release programs in July were not respected and there were many controversies regarding delays and deliveries on the ready-to-hunt releases. The Alps area is another planet, a training ground for hunters accustomed to skinny game bags but also to great satisfaction. The censuses established in time the abatement plans, all regularly brought to terms with lower numbers than last year. A vintage therefore with lights and shadows but what saw the hunters having fun once again, still amidst a thousand controversies, because the passion that unites them is stronger than any adversity.
