Success for the Federcaccia seminar held in Gubbio, from which it is clear that the future of hunting is based on repopulation and habitat management.
The future of modern hunting depends on the quality of the restocking. Public success for the seminar: "Restocking: the future of hunting?", Held last week in Gubbio and strongly supported by the municipal section of the Italian Federation of Hunting. Dedicated to issues relating to the methods, quality, time of entry of galliformes, pheasants, partridges and red partridges, in the territory intended for programmed hunting, the initiative - also adopted by the provincial section of the Federcaccia Perugia - attracted a large number of enthusiasts , and also saw the qualified participation of Dr. Giorgia Romeo, head of the national sedentary fauna office of the Fidc, of the national president of the association, Gian Luca Dall'Olio and of the regional president Franco Di Marco.
The president of the municipal section Fabrizio Mengoni, who did the honors before giving the microphone to Romeo to listen to the technical report, opened the works. The doctor, with the great competence that distinguishes her, has retraced the modalities and the importance of the practice of the repopulation of galliformes and the problems that have emerged over time; a very important action which cannot be carried out superficially, and which in recent years has shown increasing problems.
Two, in particular, are the ways to follow to make repopulation actions effective and sustainable: on the one hand, to deepen the knowledge of the dietary, physiological and behavioral needs of game, to select more and more valid breeders to be introduced; on the other hand, to care for and restore natural habitats suitable for sedentary wild animals, which are essential for the conservation and reproduction of fauna.
In closing, Romeo illustrated the project on the reintroduction of the red partridge that it is carrying out in the Province of Grosseto, a project through which a pure strain of Red Partridge (Alectoris Rufa) has been recovered. A very interesting initiative, on which Federcaccia Umbra also intends to work to obtain better results also in the regional territory.
During the debate, the national vice president Massimo Buconi stressed the importance of scientific data collection, training and updating as the only ways to go to guarantee a future for hunting, starting with reading the data of the cards of individual hunters. . Buconi also announced to those present the birth of the Federcaccia Umbra hunting office, which will deal with sedentary and migratory fauna, and which will include young graduate hunters who will have the task of conceiving and carrying out specific projects on individual species.
The National President Dall'Olio concluded the day with an all-out speech, recalling the will of Fidc to give life to a new association open to all, without the intention of absorbing anyone but with the aim of giving greater strength to the hunting world, so that it ceases to live in expectation of external proposals that are not always ameliorative or disinterested, but is able to autonomously formulate its own credible and sustainable proposals starting from the modification of Law 157/92.
The president then focused on the importance of events such as the one just concluded that certainly contribute to relaunching the image of the hunter, training him and placing him as a true manager of the territory, capable of promoting and enhancing a hunt corresponding to the needs posed by the times we live in. .
