FIDASC: the Conference on the safety of the dog from hunting it took place with great participation last January 27, in the incomparable setting of Capocontro in Civitella in Val di Chiana; topic of the debate, of close and relevant topicality, “The security of hunting dog".
The Fidasc, after having "implemented" its influence and that of Coni to all the sports dog lovers, has decided to focus its interest on a problem that involves, every year, an ever increasing number of dog lovers and hunters grappling with the accidents, both sporting and hunting, which i dogs when in close contact with a strong and dangerous game such as the boar. In addressing this concept as important as dog safety, Fidasc, which has been so committed and continues to commit itself to the safety of all users of sporting hunting guns, has decided to make use of the collaboration of one of its most authoritative sponsors. such as Browning-Winchester which has put “integrated” hunter-dog safety at the forefront of corporate targets on a global scale. Beside Dr. Pier Giuseppe Migliorini, exquisite and attentive landlord, as well as president of a famous old-fashioned beltlai and canaio team, sat the president of Fidasc Felice Buglione; Frédérick Colombié, CEO of Browning-Winchester (BWMI); the vicar vice president Domenico Coradeschi, Bruno Modugno, honorary president of Fidasc, and hunting journalist; Sestilio Tonini, a world-renowned judge with undisputed kinetic competence; Ernesto Erisi, lawyer, sports champion and expert recuperator; Fioravante Serrani, university lecturer and wildlife technician, trainer of thousands of selecontrollers and Laurent Canò, inventor and manufacturer of a latest generation protective jacket.
Finally, there was no lack of a large group of authoritative "testimonials": judges, dog champions and hunting technicians to whom Browning will entrust a certain quantity of products that in this way will be subjected to severe testing in the field even under the eyes of many users. endings. Listening to the various reports, based on the most disparate subjects from ballistics to clothing, to breeding techniques and training of wild boar dogs, there were the president of the Italian hunting federation Gianluca Dall'Olio, the vice president of Arcicaccia Massimo Logi is an extremely interested and competent audience made up of about seventy hunters and canai from the Province of Arezzo. All, without any distinction, convinced of the indifferent need to proceed with a profound reinterpretation of hunting canine on wild boar. A practice that now has very significant damage not only from the economic point of view or under the aspect of non-use for long periods of convalescence, but above all as regards the affective aspects of a relationship that is increasingly profound and that ends. to emotionally involve all other family members as well.
Then to the all-out analysis carried out by President Buglione, was added the technical and also commercial examination of Colombiè who, after recalling the great commitment that Browning makes to the various aspects of safety, has shown that the entire international hunting world has now overcome the initial distrust of high visibility clothing and accessories, so much so that the semi-automatic batting rifle with orange inserts, after being completely snubbed, was by far the best-selling weapon of the last year. Much appreciated was the practical demonstration carried out by Laurent Canò on the effective ability of the protective vest for dogs to absorb and neutralize even the most violent blows delivered by a large boar.
The other legal, dog-technical and didactic-training aspects of safety (not only that of dogs) were then dealt with in a truly exhaustive manner by the other speakers who preceded the concluding speech by Bruno Modugno who, as usual, was enriched by colorful anecdotes capable of arousing the concrete interest of those who really practice wild boar hunting.
At the end of the almost three hours of pleasant chat on the wild boar hunting, the refined and affectionate hospitality of the Migliorini family has resulted in an excellent "aperitif" set in an ancient oil mill that has been expertly restored but also with that extraordinary love that only a hunting man can have for traditions, culture and history of its past.
A special television service was created on the conference which in the next few days will be broadcast on Sky frequencies dedicated to hunting and fishing.
